Old school Proxies workflow Premiere – scale effects
Hi all,
Recently I had to conform a few timelines from proxy (720) to high resolution (1080 and 4k) for color. The problem is the editing was done based on the proxies, the old school way (not via built in workflow) AND there were some scale changes.
I first tried to “reconnect full resolution media” on the proxy menu, with no luck – the imagem was zoomed, because of the larger resolution. So I had to manualy resize everything (used set to frame size mostly, but still…)
After this experience I thought there could be a better way to edit based on the proxies. Many editors like to work on proxies and don’t have the original media on their computers to enable the built-in workflow that keeps scale.
Do have any suggestions on how this could work?
I have a few thoughts… of course, if “reconnect full resolution media” worked, it would be the perfect scenario.
I understand I could start editing on proxies with “scale to frame size” on and after reconnecting it would keep the scale, however, if any upscaling is made, even after reconnecting full res media, the image would have worst quality.
So I thought there could be some kind of tool (a script maybe?) that converted from “scale to frame size” to set to frame size (and vice versa), while keeping the scale consistent visually, even if the editor changed it (like a 110% scale). It seems to me the math would be quite simple.
Do you know a tool that could do that? Or a hint on how I could build that tool myself?
Thank you!

Usually both Scale to Frame Size and Set to Frame are both options that appears when you right click a video clip and select one over the other. I believe you can change from one over the other if you so desire. I found this video that may help with deciding that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcdaeM2y7pM
Hopefully this helps but if you wish to let me know what else I am missing, feel free to let me know! 🙂
