Smart proxy files in VS ProX4

[oldcop49]

Using Smart Proxy ,to show the Smart Proxy have been created , a small double icon is placed within the thumbnail in the folder and also in the clip on the timeline . The clips in the project are playing smoothly. But when I close the project and re-open it later on, I notice that the small double icons have disappeared and the clips on the timeline are no longer playing smoothly but jerky.It seems as if they are no longer smart proxy files although they are still in the Smart proxy folder. Anyone knows what can be the reason , or what's going wrong ?Thank you.

I believe that is correct. Proxy files are not saved.

Proxy files are just that, temporary files that are only in effect on your current session of VS X4. Saving your project and then restarting VS X$ will erase the old proxy files and you may need to create new ones by working on your project again.

A better way to create proxy files is to create your own by loading the HD files into the time line then batch convert to a lower resolution. Then clear the timeline and insert the proxy files do all of your editing using these proxy files. When you are ready to create your final disc or video file rename the folder with the low resolution files and then open the project file Video studio will ask to re-link to the video files and then all you do is re-link to the HD files. Hey presto.

Letting Video studio create your proxy files is useless if you want to edit in more than one session and that session is closed between edits or the program crashes (god forbid).

The only problem I have had is sometimes the smart re-link function does not work as well as it
