How do you delete proxy files?

Rich Parry wrote on 12/14/2019, 6:16 PM

Apologies in advance if I missed it, but I searched the manual, the forums, YouTube and can’t find out how to delete proxy files when I am done with a project. CLEAN UP PRE-RENDERED FILES doesn’t do what I want, which is to delete all proxies. I can use the OS to delete the proxies, but I assume there is an option in VP17 (353) that provides the function, is there?

Thanks, Rich

I'm not sure about an option within Vegas to do it, but you'll see the proxies in whatever folder you tell vegas to store those in as .svp0 files. You can manually delete those to get rid of the proxies.

Using the OS to delete proxies seems an inelegant solution to deleting proxies.

There are scripts that do it. Happy Otter Scripts and Vegassaur both do AFAIK (HOS actually uses its own proxy system, that has both its own benefits and drawbacks), and you can also write your own scripts to do the task. That said, I agree, assuming I'm not overlooking such a system already in place, that one needs to be implemented.

As you suggested a tool to remove proxies, I used the Vegasaur 3.9.3 "Sweeper Tool" with VP17 (353). I was able to remove proxies 1 or 2 times but most times no proxies were removed. I believe there is a major bug in the tool. I will contact the developer to resolve.
