FcpX 10.5?

[Eugeny Korkhin]

Hi, Jeremy
You must be speaking about mp4 proxies for mxf?
Why not to use mxf proxies instead? Then there won’t be any difficulty to relink.
Or am I getting it wrong?

This workflow is using files that our server creates for the asset management system. There is not a way to tell the server to make MXF proxies from MXF files, unfortunately. The server makes mp4 files, and renaming the .mp4 to .mxf doesn’t really work as the files become ‘unreadable’ in the Finder and by any video application.

So, you aren’t wrong, it’s just that these proxy files are automatically generated by a server, so it owed be great if FCPX could relink to them and the high res, and back.

I see. That would make life easier for sure. And I see no reason why it is such a problem in fcpx. While you can relink files manually one by one, no way to batch relink…

Correct. Which makes me think that it’s (hopefully) a fixable bug.
