Proxies & Indexing
Overview
Proxies and File Indexing in Adobe Premiere
In this video, I walk through the process of using proxies and file indexing within Adobe Premiere.
By organizing footage and creating proxies, you can significantly streamline your editing workflow, making it easier to handle high-resolution files smoothly. In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to bring over footage into the assembly workspace, organize it, and use Adobe Media Encoder to create lower resolution proxy files. This process ensures smoother playback and editing within Premiere. I also show how to use bins to manage VR headset footage and explain how to toggle between proxy and original file resolutions for different stages of editing. Lastly, I highlight useful shortcuts and layout adjustments that enhance the editing experience.
