However due to licensing limitations, the Blackmagic Proxy Generator Lite included with the
Blackmagic Cloud Store products uses the codecs built into your computer’s operating system.
This means on Windows, ProRes proxies are disabled. Plus other formats could be disabled
unless the HEVC video extensions download is purchased from Microsoft.
Adding Watch Folders
A watch folder is constantly monitored by the application and when new files are added
to that folder, proxy files are created and saved in a subfolder named ‘proxy’.
Proxy files will be saved in a ‘proxy’ subfolder automatically created in your watch folder
You can add as many watch folders as you want, but it is important there is enough free
storage space to store both the original media files and the new proxy files.
When launching Proxy Generator for the first time, the application will automatically prompt
you to add a watch folder.
1
Locate an existing folder and click ‘open’, or create a new one by clicking ‘new folder’.
2
After the folder has been selected or created, it will appear in the ‘watch folders’ pane.
3
Add additional watch folders by clicking the ‘add’ button. You can also drag and drop
folders into the watch folders pane.
