Convert heavy 4K, 6K, or 8K raw camera video files into lightweight, low-resolution editing proxies (1080p, 720p, 540p) for stutter-free playback on any laptop or NLE video editor.
Maintain exact frame-for-frame duration, timecode, and audio track alignment so your editing software can seamlessly relink back to original full-resolution master files during final export.
Automatically appends the standard `_PROXY` suffix to generated files (e.g. `A001_C001_0101_PROXY.mp4`) matching industry standards for Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
Reduce video file sizes by up to 85% without sacrificing timeline responsiveness, allowing smooth multi-cam editing and rapid project sharing over cloud storage.
Uses hardware-accelerated canvas downsampling and fast encoding presets for high-throughput proxy creation directly inside your web browser.
All video processing occurs locally on your machine. Your unreleased high-res footage is never uploaded to any server or cloud storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
A video proxy is a low-resolution, lightweight copy of a high-resolution (4K/8K) raw video file. Editors use proxies in NLE timelines (Premiere, DaVinci, Final Cut) for smooth playback and editing without lag, then switch back to original high-res files for final export.
Yes! The proxy generator preserves the exact frame rate, audio sync, and clip duration of your original video so offline-to-online relinking is 100% accurate.
By default, the tool appends `_PROXY` to the original filename (e.g. `clip_01.mp4` becomes `clip_01_PROXY.mp4`). This allows automated NLE proxy auto-attaching.
No! All video downsampling and encoding happen 100% locally in your browser. No video data ever leaves your computer.
