Final Cut Pro rolled out a new update that lets you create proxy-only versions of libraries, events, and projects.
So what?
Well, if you know FCPX, you know that external proxies are a big problem with the software. You have to make proxy files inside FCP, and if you move them, even on accident, you have to make them again. It's a real pain.
In this video, I show you how you can use this new feature to create and send a proxy library and footage to a remote editor using Dropbox or any other cloud service, without the major hassle of sending tens of GBs of original footage.
I did it myself when I was on vacation and needed to produce a Sunday service that was filmed after I'd already left town. It was fast, efficient, and frankly, wouldn't have worked any other way.

Thank you this is really helpful!

[@VideoTutors]

Very clear and really useful information

[@jackbotti]

do you know if when i receive all proxies (from arri, red, sony) if they will relink once i get the original files?

[@jackbotti]

without them having to make an fcpx file

[@ProfitandPixels]

You’ll need to share the same FCPX library file, but as long as the file names match the originals they will relink

[@jackbotti]

The workflow would be shoot > proxy > send remote. They wouldn't have started working on it@@ProfitandPixels

[@ProfitandPixels]

You need to make the proxies in FCPX for this to work, so there will be a library file already. Set the proxies to be stored outside of the library for space and organization

[@cryptochillbro3003]

Hmm, why would you do the library instead of the xml file?

[@ProfitandPixels]

So I have something to open… I don’t think you can open a project in FCPX without a Library but if so, tell me more.
