Although I would say, although my FX3 and FX30 have the ability to record proxies in camera I've never once used it. Client projects run usually into the 100's of gb sometimes like the one I have for Qatar Airport 1tb, proxies would make that number just too much

@georgekamenov_ 15 күн бұрын

@@filmmakerevolution Last year I shot some behind the scenes for a friends' project on the FX30. About a week's worth of content. The main footage was around 126GB, proxies were 12GB. Of course I didn't shoot all day every day, mostly just shorter snippets of what was going on. But still. They definitely take up some space, but in the grand scheme of things, they're not that big. And in my case, I'm willing to sacrifice a few gigs to save myself the hours it would take me to generate proxies inside Resolve later 😁

@@georgekamenov_ that’s actually not bad, I thought it would be much bigger. Definitely would consider in future now I know it’s not so bad

If I'm allowed, an additional comment on Proxy and Render Cache settings - One could also set "Render Cache Format" to lowest quality formats like "ProRes 422 Proxy"/"DNxHR LB" to reduce cache file sizes. Higher quality formats will cause cache folder to balloon to crazy sizes quickly. Thank you for these videos GK. Very helpful!

Yeah, good call. Should have mentioned that so thanks for dropping this comment 🙂

Dope video, but no fusion.

@georgekamenov_ 15 күн бұрын

Yeah, I don't touch fusion at all. Use MotionVFX plug-ins for the stuff I'd need fusion for. Just not really something I've looked into much because I don't need it for the type of work I normally do.
