MixingLight – Getting Up To Speed On Resolve 17’s New Proxy Workflow

Well, the good news is – Resolve 17 includes a totally new proxy workflow, and it really does tick all the boxes. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever use optimized media again now that these new tools exist. Resolve can now generate, link to, share, and dynamically switch between proxies and full-res media. It works really well – but there are some details that are important to know about. In this Insight I’ll go over:

• How the new proxy workflow is different than the old ways of doing it
• Generating proxies in Resolve
• Dealing with different aspect ratios and color spaces
• Making proxies in other software, and linking to them in Resolve
• Sharing and transferring Resolve projects with proxy media for remote work
