Generating and Deleting Proxies
In order to use proxies while working on projects using DPX and Cineon media, you need
to first generate a set of half- and quarter-resolution proxy media for your project.
To generate a set of proxy media for your project
µ
Choose File > Proxies > Generate Proxies.
To delete all the proxies that have been generated for a project
µ
Choose File > Proxies > Delete Proxies.
Important: The proxy mechanism is not available for projects using QuickTime files, unless
they’re native RED QuickTime media. Native RED QuickTime media uses the proxy
mechanism, but proxies are generated on the fly, so you don’t have to use the Generate
Proxies command.
Playback, Processing, and Output Settings
The following settings affect playback quality, render quality, and performance.
• Video Output pop-up menu: The options in this pop-up menu correspond to the video
output options available to the broadcast video interface that's installed on your
computer. Choose Disabled to turn off video output altogether.
Note: Currently, Digital Cinema Desktop previews and Apple FireWire output are not
available for monitoring the output from Color.
