Chapter 4 Using Proxies 153
previewFrames
Displays the thumbnails of the new proxy frames as they’re rendered.
Render proxy Defaults
Each proxy set you want to be rendered must be enabled. You can also open each
proxyXDefault’s subtree to modify any parameters. If you create your own custom
proxy setting with a .h file (see above), you can specify if this button is on or off by
default.
6 When you’re finished changing the settings, click Render.
When Shake finishes rendering, the proxies are ready to be used in your script.
Activating the P1, P2, or P3 settings of the useProxy parameter results in Shake loading
the pre-generated proxy files you’ve just created, rather than generating them on the fly.
Rendering Proxies on the Command Line
If you’re rendering your proxies from the command line, there are three additional
parameters you can specify.
-renderproxies
Only renders the proxy subsets of the FileIn nodes. If no subsets are specified, what is
saved in the script is rendered. Otherwise, you can use -renderproxies p1 p2 p3.
-proxyscale
You can specify numerical scale and ratio parameters, or use the keywords Base, p1, p2, p3.
-createdirs
Creates directories for the -renderproxies command. Does nothing for normal FileOut
nodes.
Warning: Currently, the command-line proxy keywords referenced above do not
correspond to the proxy keywords in the useProxy parameter of the Shake graphical
interface. As a result, p1 (command line) = Base (graphical interface), p2 (command
line) = p1 (graphical interface), and p3 (command line) = p2 (graphical interface).
