proxy confusion

[joelbooska]

Hi, I'm new here, I just today discovered how to generate proxy files from already existing clips that were loaded into my timeline.
When VideoStudio ProX5 was done rendering all these timeline clips to the 'file manager' list as proxies, I closed the program and re-opened it.
Everything was still in there but I did not notice any difference in resolution(it was still hi res) and the playback of the preview window was still very 'laggy'.
Does anyone know what I did wrong or is there a way to allocate these newly created proxy files into my timeline as the workaround for smooth editing where I can later finalize/render the project down to hi res using the original source files?
The project is very clip intensive with lots of overlays and effects.

As a note, I've made these proxy clips at a very low resolution so I would notice a big difference if they were being used instead of the current clips >all sliced (already in my timeline.)
Sorry for such a winded question and thank you to anyone who can lend a helping hand.
Best,
Joel

You may need make sure that you enable smart proxy, because even though you have created the proxy files if smart proxy is not enable the system will not even use them proxy.
