Start by Creating your sequence, importing files etc…
Drop your clips into sequence… Save project.I know you “Downloaded the PRESETS”, but did you add them to anything? If not,
Open AME, open any preset by double clicking on it. Now see the top right of the dialogue that has opened up… …it has a text box, and several buttons next to it. You can import those presets one at a time. You can also get all of them by simply opening AME and selecting the IMPORT from the top right, just above the preset lists, and then finding the .epr file you downloaded.
In media encoder, you go to file, and select open source. Now you can open a file from your system. Once you open it, it shows in the QUEUE, but it’s just sitting there. Drag the preset to the file marker in the queue, watch it change… OR …the marker in the queue has three major sections with small down arrows. You can click the text next to the arrows and it will open the dialogue to change settings. This is less preferable if you are unfamiliar with AME. You can edit the settings in the dialogue, and adjust to taste, selecting the preset list your preset falls under, then the actual setting for the preset, and then adjusting from there.
Now…
You output that file to the same folder as your big file by selecting the output location in AME either in the queue where you see a filename, or in the dialogue where a file with an extension is shown in text (click the text and it will allow you to select an output location). When you’re ready, click the PLAY arrow at the top of the AME window.
It will build a small file from your large one with faster playback.
When it finishes…
Move the large file somewhere else. Open your project in premiere. It will ask you to select the file to use for your clips, select your proxy.Alternative:
Once you have the .epr in AME, you should be able to copy it to the “Previews” folder in your premiere program’s application folder under sequence presets. Make sure to send it to the PREVIEWS folder. This will allow you to generate preview files of your proxy type.
Now, instead of creating the proxy in AME, you can simply alter the sequence settings to make a preview with your proxy settings, drop the large clip onto the sequence, render the work area of the sequence. This will create a segmented proxy to use, and if you only render effects and audio afterward, you’ll be golden. You should be able to use your previews to speed up rendering of your final output from premiere.
