X4 Unable to scrub video in clip mode w/proxy on

[pkalen]

If I have project properties set to anything but the default, I am unable to scrub through a clip when in clip mode if the clip has the second icon indicator, as shown in the screen grab below. This second icon (double diagonal frames) does not appear immediately. Before it appears, I can scrub in clip mode, but after it appears, I cannot. Does anyone know what that icon represents? My video files are from Canon HV20 (m2t 1440x1080) and my project properties match them.

I have a suspision that it has something to do with proxy files, and that once the proxy file is made, I lose clip scrubbing.

I just tried turning off smart proxy, and wouldn't you know it, I can scrub in clip mode.

I restarted X4 and clip scrubbing is fine. I enabled Smart Proxy, and clip scrubbing doesn't work again.

I guess we learned 2 things from this..

1. The double film icon = Smart Proxy
2. With Smart Proxy scrubbing in clip mode does not work..

Ron,

Thanks for summarizing. Nobody seems to have encountered this problem. Maybe it is limited to the m2t files from the Canon HVxx.

I thought Ken would have noticed since I think he shoots a Canon HV20.

I have an AVCHD (1920) file created by X4 that doesn't seem to be affected by the problem, so it might be limited to the HVxx files, and that's why there is no widespread aggravation.

But I never use SmartProxy with HDV... Why should I when it is so easy to edit -- unlike AVCHD?!
