Proxy Handling
You can switch between using your original source media and the proxy media for playback in the Cut page by using the Proxy Handling icon in the Viewer, and selecting one of the following options:
— Disable All Proxies: This option disables the proxies altogether and forces the original media playback only. If the original media is not available, the clip is replaced with a Media Offline graphic.
— Prefer Proxies: This option will use proxies files for playback, and if there is no proxy file for a clip, the original media will automatically be used instead.
— Prefer Camera Originals: This option will use the original media files for playback, and if there is no original media file for a clip, the proxy media will automatically be used instead.
The Proxy Handling icon in the Cut page Viewer lets you select how you want to use proxy files.
Playing Clips and Navigating the Timeline in the Viewer
Eight controls sit at the bottom of the Viewer. These let you play through and otherwise navigate clips and the Timeline in different ways. These controls are described from left to right.
The toolbar at the bottom of the Viewer
— Fast Review button: Intended to help you watch through a large collection of media quickly, clicking this button begins accelerated playback through the Source Tape or through the Timeline, where the speed of playback is relative to the length of each clip you’re playing through. Long clips play faster, whereas shorter clips play closer to real time. In this way, you can watch a lot of material really quickly.
— Tools button: The Tools button reveals a variety of controls for transform, crop, audio, speed effects, camera stabilization and lens correction, dynamic zoom, and compositing, covered in more detail later in this chapter.
— Jog control: Clicking and dragging within the jog control lets you scrub very precisely through the content of the Viewer.
