‌Automatic Proxy Generation and Upload to Blackmagic Cloud Storage‌‌

When in the Media, Cut, Edit and Fairlight pages, DaVinci Resolve can automatically generate proxies in the background to upload to Blackmagic Cloud. In all pages, users can still explicitly generate proxy media from the media pool to start uploads.

To enable automatic proxy generation and upload:

1 In the Project Settings, click on the Blackmagic Cloud tab.

2 In the “For media files” section, click on “Sync proxies only.”

3 Check the “Generate proxies automatically” box.

4 In the “Proxies are created as” section, select the codec you want the proxy format to be rendered to.

5 Click on the Save button.

To disable automatic proxy generation and upload:

1 In the Project Settings, click on the Blackmagic Cloud tab.

2 In the “For media files” section, click on “Don’t sync media.”

3 Uncheck the “Generate proxies automatically” box.

4 Click on the Save button.
