Using Proxies

In the following example, the proxyRatio is set to .5. This setting has the added benefit
of correcting the anamorphic distortion of the image while simultaneously reducing its
resolution.

To return to a preset proxy setting:

m

Click Base/P1/P2/P3 (or Other in the upper-right corner of the Shake window).

Customizing P1/P2/P3 for a Script or Session

If you consistently require a different group of proxy settings for your project,
customized useProxy subparameters can be saved within that script.

To customize the proxy settings for an individual script:

1

In the Globals tab, open the useProxy parameter to reveal its subparameters.

2

Open one of the proxyXDefaultFile subparameters (where X is 1, 2, 3, or 4). In this
example, the proxy1DefaultFile and proxy2DefaultFile subparameters are being
customized.

Changing the Aspect Ratio to 0.5

To ensure that your nodes understand the aspect ratio as 0.5 (for example, Rotate),
open the Globals tab and set the defaultAspectRatio format to 0.5. This does not
modify the image, but only affects nodes such as Twirl and Move2D that are created
after you set this ratio. For more information, see “

About Aspect Ratios and

Nonsquare Pixels
