Editing Workflow

This gives the editors access to all the proxy files, use them in the edit, and save the edit as a new Premiere Pro project file.

Getting Started

The editors can access the camera-generated proxy files from the C2E folder within the Postudio cloud system and the Premiere Pro media browser.

Preparing Files

Once the editing is done, navigate to File > Project Manager > Collect files > Copy to New Location and check the Exclude Unused Clip option. Then set the destination path to your User Folder or inside the All Users folder to save the project files and the proxy files used in the timeline.

A new folder called Copied_[project name] will be created at the destination containing the new Premiere Pro project file and the proxy files used in the timeline.
