Direction Unit - Proxy Media

The use of Proxy Media is very important for people that don't have a fast computer or that are using very high quality clips. In my case, since I was working with 50fps clips, my computer couldn't playback the clips in realtime for more than 3 secs. The best solution in this cases where the frames drop during playback, is to use proxy media. As some people don't know, proxy media allows you to edit your clips in 1/4 of the frames you originally have. In my case approximately 12fps. The clip stills looks good and you will watch as if editing a normal clip, but to the computer the program is telling it that your clip has less frames, which allows you to playback with no drops. After finishing my video, I exported it normally, since in proxy media you don't need to change anything to export it in your original format. Proxy media can only be used if when importing a clip you select the option to create proxy media.

Here is a screenshot on where to find proxy media:

P.S  Remember when creating a project, to adjust it with the frames per second you wish to use, otherwise it won't matter if you shoot in 50fps if your project presets are in 25fps.
