I've recently started to generate and use Proxies for my footage to have a better editing experience and reduce lag with the preview window. With regards to things surrounding the proxies I have a couple of questions
- While Vegas is building the proxies in one project, do I have to stay in that project until it completes the process?
- Is there a tool or separate program that can build a proxy in the background without having to open Vegas?
- Aside from not having the benefit of the proxy for editing, will deleting the proxy file cause any issues if I have to open an old project that I used proxies in?
