Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Rendering With Proxies

  • Rendering With Proxies

    Posted by James Murphy on December 10, 2012 at 3:22 pm

    Forgive me if this has already been asked.

    The project I am working on has a good number of clips in a composition. Several of the clips are small and aren’t featured; they’re more for the background. I made proxies for all the clips for workflow purposes, but don’t want all proxies to render.

    The final comp contains pre-comps for organization. I would like to render out the final comp using proxies for most of the clips from the first comp and keep the high-res clips at high-res.

    How can I go about outputting the final comp using both proxies and high-res media in order to maximize render time?

    Also, is there a way to do it in Adobe Media Encoder so I can free up After Effects?

    You can turn an individual proxy on or off by clicking the rectangle proxy icon to the left of the item itself in the project panel. Use this feature to disable whatever proxies you don’t want and enable whatever proxies you do want, and then you should be able to render with “Current Settings” selected in the render settings.
