Introduction

In this episode, we create proxies, lightweight copies of heavy footage, so that editing on a regular laptop remains smooth without reducing the exported result quality. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. High-resolution footage with heavy codecs causes playback to lag. Proxies are low-resolution copies used during editing. When exporting, Premiere automatically reverts back to the original file.

Step 1: Heavy footage symptoms

Play the drone sequence. On a laptop with standard specifications, playback of high-resolution footage can be sluggish and the program monitor displays the missed frames. That's when proxies are needed.

Step 2: Create Proxies

Select the drone clip in the Project panel, right-click, then Proxy, Create Proxy. Select H.264 format and H.264 Low Resolution Proxy preset. Place the proxy next to the original media, then click OK. Premiere sends the task to Adobe Media Encoder, which creates proxies in the background.

Step 3: Adobe Media Encoder

We can still edit while the process is running. After completion, the proxy is automatically set up for the clip in the project.

Step 4: Toggle Proxies

Click the settings icon in the program monitor, then add the proxy toggle button to the toolbar. Click the button until it turns blue. Now Premiere is playing the lightweight proxy file, and playback is smooth.

Step 5: Edit as usual

Cut, arrange, and apply effects as usual. All edits are saved in the original clip, proxy is only used for display. The proxy column in the Project panel shows the attached status for clips that have a proxy. When exporting, Premiere always uses the original file, not the proxy, even if the proxy toggle button is active.

Step 6: Export while keeping original quality

So the final result remains fully sharp. Proxies speed up the editing process.

Done!

Done. We've learned when to use proxies. Creating proxies with Create Proxy, understanding the process in Adobe Media Encoder, using the toggle proxy button, editing as usual, and ensuring export uses the original file. In the next episode, we'll create a multi-camera source sequence. Need product video, business profile video, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos?
