In this video editing tutorial, Premiere Gal shows you how to edit faster with proxies. Premiere Gal will show you how to setup your ingest settings to create automatic smaller proxy versions of your large high resolution footage so you can edit faster in Premiere Pro. Once it's setup, the process is easy!

Sample clips are from Raw Film, here: https://raw.film/lifetime?code=pgal
Try Adobe Premiere Pro: https://prf.hn/l/8jynodX/

Want to know about which codes work best with different systems?

Remember to choose a proxy video codec that works best for your machine & workflow. ProRes is a safe bet for most computers, but if you have an Intel Quick Sync CPU which is optimised for H.264, then selecting a H..264 proxy is a good choice. My editor and I have a Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU which supports Quick Sync for accelerating H..264 & H.265. So check if you have Quick Sync, if not, you might want to choose a ProRes codec. If you have an AMD Threadripper, I'd choose either ProRes or DNx Codecs for your proxies. If you're not sure, I recommend running an experiment on some proxy codecs on your machine, try a ProRes vs H.264 to see which ones perform best on your CPU. An obvious benefit of H.264 is size, it's a lot smaller!

Please note that these machines listed below are just examples of CPUS best for H.264 vs ProRes codes, have a look at the tech specs and compare to your machine:
