OK I know what proxies are but I never use them so why have I got "Proxy" written in 2 places (arrowed) on these newly imported 4K clips? What have I done?
More importantly how can I get rid of the proxy sign?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
I have sorted out the problem.
I deleted all the clips with the camera symbol and reimported them.
I think I may have closed the Import window before the import was finished and FCP was referencing the clips on the SD card.

This should not be a problem, so long as the card itself remains connected until import is finished.
You can close the Import window, and if in doubt, check the Background Tasks window (Command-9) to see if any importing or transcoding or analysis is still going on.
I noticed that the clip selected has the camera "badge" on it.
Maybe the clip was not fully imported from the camera or card, and maybe that is why it is saying "proxy".
In any case, perhaps you should select it and try File->Import->Reimport from Camera/Archive.
Thanks Luis . . . whatever the cause, everything is now OK and both the camera symbols and proxy messages have gone.
The 4K test has been completed successfully. There are 8 tracks of video . . . the bottom 2 being a Testcard background with me green screened above it and "colour corrected". The 6 tracks above them are 4K used as PIP and also colour corrected . . . or should I say "colour altered hideously"!
The whole caboodle is 7 minutes long and playback of the unrendered footage is silky smooth in spite of having 8 other apps including DV Resolve open at the same time.
I find 8 GB RAM adequate for my humble needs and the mini is booted from a cheap Crucial 1 TB SSD.
The reimport option is greyed out.

It should not be greyed out if there are clips selected that were from a camera.
What is this proxy business?
