How to export a Proxy video in MP4 and H.264

What's Proxy file, how does it look like? I know how to export mp4 and compress it with H.264, but what else should be included to make it a Proxy file from FCP6?

Thanks,

A "proxy" is just a lower resolution video file. It can be an MP4, or H.264, or any other flavor of Qt that is lower resolution than the master file. A timecode window burn in would be helpful.

www.imagineproducts.com has a great application that does this for you...automated. ProxieMill will make proxies from either captured media, or P2 cards...VERY useful

Thanks Shane,

The other website won't take my MP4 "Proxy" file, must be something wrong with their uploading system, not my file.
