  Create a proxy file after import

  Posted by Christophe Cha on August 6, 2011 at 4:26 pm

  Hi all,

  I’ve already created a new project and imported some files. I had FCP X to transcode my files to ProRes. Everything works great, but since I am working on a laptop, I would want to create Proxy version of my video files.

  How can I tell FCP to generate proxy files now?
  I tried to check the option in the preferences, but it does not transcode “again”.

  Thxs

  Select the clips or the event, Control-click or use File and select Transcode Media. You’ll get the dialog that lets you create proxy media.

  All the best,

  Tom
