Why does the imported file appear in the event browser as 'proxy missing' even when I had asked for import as optimised?
I usually import files from my cameras [Sony handy cam and iPhone] and check the transcoding to optimised. Recently, after imported files that were transcoded as optimised, I choose to transcode them again...I wanted to have proxy files because I was doing a 1-hour project in which I had used two cameras. For the record, I haven't got much experience in doing multicam editing. After finding some problems with multicam editing, I thought I should use proxy files and did this to the optimised media: selected them all in the event browser and had them converted to proxy. Even after this switch, I wasn't able to make any headway with the multicam editing work and then I stuck to a single camera footage and was able to export my project successfully.
My present problem is this: even though I have selected for the optimised transcoding for import of files under Preferences, although I check 'optimised transcoding' box in the import window, the imported files land in the event browser bus with this error: Missing proxy!
To make such files readable, I have to select the clips and transcode them to proxy. This is becoming irritating and time consuming. How can I get freedom from this problem?
Thanks in advance
