Remove proxies
An option to remove proxies from clips. Otherwise the only choice is to delete the proxies, but then the program is constantly bugging you for them when you relaunch. I'm having an issue where I replaced proxy files with new transcodes, but the system still shows them at the wrong size in the timeline (match framing shows them as they should be). I'd love to be able to simply delete the originals and start over, but it isn't possible.

Sorry for the wait, but Detach Proxies has finally been added in Premiere Pro 14.3.1.

The tool is almost perfect, but it needs a little bit of more work. Please Adobe, add the ability to remove proxies from files. Since setting them to offline, is not the same as removing those.

It's a really useful feature. After Effects has it and I'm constantly using it. I always have trouble when doing a "Project Manager" export, and renaming proxies folder does nothing but make Premiere prompt for proxy files every time.
After Effects recognises how useful this is. Why not Premiere? -

Marilken, what you're describing sounds to me like it is indeed because of the frame rate re-interpretation. This has been known issue for a while and Adobe hasn't fixed it after at least 2 years of people complaining.
Vote for that fix here, and there is a workaround which you might find in the same thread. Has something to do with doing the interp in media encoder, can't exactly remember.

It would really help if I could somehow see the in and out point that I made with the proxies toggled, so I could find the correct points with the proxies off. I have to start over with 30 hours of edits now...

Thank you Antoine, then what should I do? This has not happened to me before, so I am contemplating different reasons:
1. Is it because the footage is interpreted from 29,976 fps TO 23, 976 fps?
2. Is it because I first made ingest proxies from the drop down menu in Premiere Pro and THEN I added a new ingest proxy that I downloaded from the internet, because the first proxies I made stretched the image and did not fit 4K editing?I just removed all proxies, marked them offline, then created a new proxy, but still it messes up the edit.
I am leasing a 5000 Euro PC so this should bloody not be a problem for the machine...

Thanks Mariken. It is quite worrying if you don't see the same thing, it would mean either there's something wrong in the Adobe importer of the proxy video format OR that the proxy conversion failed somehow (or wasn't set up properly)

Antoine Autokroma - I meant toggle them on and off - not sure if the lingo makes any difference :) Please see this short explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4umg0bKmdRI
Did this help?

Mariken, how do you switch them off and on exactly ?

My proxies are complete f ing up my workflow. When I switch them on and off, the clips jump to completely different starting points. Yes, I am very new at this, but come on - where do I find an answer for this issue? Please provide some lingo so I can search for it!

Hey, we really need a "Remove Proxies" option, our finished projects don't need the proxies!

Adobe, where are "Remove and Detach Proxies" options? Those are basic features! If you can add something, you can also remove it. Easy logic!?

Ok Devs. Please add this. I went to do this today (because why shouldn't I be able to do this for certain clips?) and lo, I could not. Please program in an option under proxy to "detach proxy". The official solution to something shouldn't be "Delete it."

AGREED! I also second this by Aram:
Yes please, "Remove Proxies" and also a "Detach Proxies" would make sense.

The fact this isnt included is baffling. Shocking. What a sheer lapse of judgment on the engineering team. When you start charging monthly fees for use of your software, you need to understand people expect MUCH MORE from you than before. Get your act together Adobe.

This is one of those examples of things we shouldn't even have to vote on. It's one of those, "Oh, yeah, that was a dumb mistake." So you just kind of fix it without bringing attention to yourself.
Next time your manager says, "Hey, we need that newest version of the experimental feature we want to show to stakeholders" You say, "The people who actually use the software will be more excited if I add these basic features that Should have been here for years, so I'm going to do that with Full support of the community. You tell the stakeholders that." -

same problem for me - I need to unlink the proxies to send the project out for color grade. No way to do it - we're talking 600 plus files in several different locations - meaning that the media manager/consolidate feature is severely handicapped since it simply copies all of the files (Proxies included) to the archive folder. Now I don't know which ones are which!! ugh
