Video Proxy Generator
Make a smaller editing copy while keeping your original footage. Choose a maximum height and compact or all-intra H.264 encoding. The proxy keeps the source basename with a proxy suffix, and a JSON settings report records the source and export settings.Read more ↓Show less ↑

Frequently asked questions
What is a video proxy?
A proxy is an editing copy of your original footage. Smaller frames reduce decoding and display workload. Keep the original for final export, and attach or relink the proxy in your editor according to its workflow.
What does this proxy preserve?
The output uses the first video stream and all supported audio streams. Frame timing is passed through without intentionally changing the frame rate; audio is encoded as AAC. Source metadata is copied where MP4 supports it, but timecode, rotation, subtitles and editor-specific relinking metadata are not guaranteed. Check compatibility before a full project.
Which proxy setting should I use?
Compact H.264 makes smaller files. All-intra uses a keyframe for every frame, which can make seeking easier but increases file size. Maximum height never intentionally upscales footage. Outputs are 8-bit SDR-oriented H.264 and do not tone-map HDR. Process files under 300 MB locally and keep your originals.
