  • Using Proxy Media Issue FCPX 10.0.3

    Posted by Jay Craig on May 8, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    Ok..I’m editing a video and I’m trying to use the Proxy Media because my laptop lags using the original. When I imported my filed I check “Create Proxy Media” and “Create Optimized Media” but when I go to preferences and choose “Use Proxy Media” I get this error.

    All help will be greatly appreciated

    Right click on one of those clips.

    Choose transcode media.

    Is “proxy” available?

    Of its greyed out, then FCPX doesn’t need to create proxies.

    What format is your footage?

    I don’t think you can make proxies of h264 material especially if the media is already on the event.

    What problems are you having exactly?

    I’m editing this music video on my laptop but it has a horrible lag so its making it hard to edit.

    Its a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3) <— If that matters

    I have plenty of space on my hard drive but it still lags.

    I had major lag issues with 10.0.3.

    I’m not telling you to upgrade, but it did help.

    You can always zip a copy of 10.0.3 and go back to it.

    You should back up all events and projects as well, but this is done for you when you upgrade and restart X.
