Hi Mads, thanks.
I have used BMD Proxy Generator to do this in the past with FCPX without any issue. It just doesn’t work now with 10.7.1.
I like that it retains the original folder structure, which FCPX does not do. On the off chance some files have the same filename, this doesn’t lead to FCPX confused or appending numbers to the clips.
The originals are 16TB which I can’t take with me home or on the go.
FCPX does see the proxies as proxies, SORT OF. As I said, it does link them as proxies and does reveal the correct proxy files when i do “Reveal Proxy File in Finder”.
