164 Chapter 4 Using Proxies
Proxy Parameters
The following tables list proxy parameters everywhere they appear in Shake, in the
Globals tab, and in each FileIn node’s Source tab.
In the Globals Tab
The useProxy subtree in the Globals tab has the following parameters that let you
customize how Shake handles proxies for the media used by your script:
useProxy
Specifies the proxy set to be used. The sizes are determined by opening proxy1File,
Proxy2File, and so on, and setting the scale/ratio parameters. The two numbers are the
scale and ratio of the proxy.
useProxyOnMissingFile
When active, substitutes a proxy generated from an associated proxy file when a
missing image is encountered.
proxyScale
A temporary setting (though it is saved into a script) for the proxy resolution that is
overwritten when useProxy is set. If setting this parameter matches up with a proxy set,
the proxy set is automatically activated.
proxyRatio
A temporary setting (though it is saved into a script) for the squeeze on the Y axis to
compensate for nonsquare pixel images that are overwritten when useProxy is set. If
setting this parameter matches up with a proxy set, the proxy set is automatically
activated.
proxyFilter
The filter used in the sampled images. The default is generally fine, although you may
want to switch to Box when working with Z-depth files.
pixelScale
An obsolete function to scale all pixel values.
pixelRatio
An obsolete function to scale all pixel values.
proxySet
A pop-up menu with pre-defined sets of proxy resolutions.
