How can we improve Premiere Pro?

Proxy workflow - interpret footage

Please make the "interpret footage" feature pass down from hi-res native footage to attached proxies. For example, if native camera footage is interpreted from 60fps down to 23.976fps, then the 60fps Premiere-generated proxies should be interpreted that way as well.

    The workaround works but it's a silly extra step. I hope Adobe isn't just letting this go because there's a workaround their users have figured out.

    An important issue. There is a workaround to halt the AME proxy creation, and change the interpret footage in AME as well. However, I experience that even if image of master and proxy clip now plays correctly when toggling proxies, the audio falls out of sync for the proxies. Checking the proxy file, it seems to be nothing wrong, so there is some confusion in Premiere how to handle the proxy files of interpreted footage.

    This is still an issue and definitely needs to be addressed. The expected behavior is for this to work properly and stay in sync with the original footage. After all a proxy is a low resolution stand in for the original. It was a surprise to our remote editors who now rely on proxies. The returned edit was all out of sync without warning.

    I'm very concerned this goes all the way back to 2018. I know tons of people use this feature to edit DJI h.265 4k footage (which is tough on the system) and interpret the higher speed footage lower. Same with Sony A7M3, ect...

    This absolutely has to be implemented! Otherwise the proxy-workflow on large projects with multiple cameras is simply not viable. When I stumbled across this I couldn't even believe that this is a known bug!

    @trenthappel Using Speed Duration may result, except if you want to Warp Stabilize. You need to nest the sequence above that... lots of steps for an apparently simple feature. So not really an option for most of users. It is also possible to workaround intepreting the footage at the time of transcoding, but this feature should be enabled in the proxy workflow without workarounds.

    Until Interpret Footage support can be implemented for Proxy, a possible workaround is to use Speed/Duration, which is supported for Proxy.

    Adobe this is absolutely unacceptable that is even an issue! We have to use Proxies for the 4K-8K workflows (even on some of the faster machines) and this is causing a MAJOR issue with offline to online.
