Proxy media vs optimised media
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:32 pmOn the surface, Proxy Media and Optimized Media appear similar in function. Both options are
designed to create lower bandwidth, easier to edit versions of source media. However,
Optimized Media is managed internally by DaVinci Resolve, cannot be exported, and is not user
accessible. In contrast, Proxy Media creates fully portable and independent media that can be
easily managed by the user.'
This is what I see a lot but I still don't understand the difference between the two apart from proxies are able to be portable? In that case what's the point of optimised media if they both seem exactly the same except for this
Can anyone elaborate on this please? I've seen it asked a lot on the forums and no answer actually... answers the question very well
Thanks!
