Recently a client brought in a project shot in SD on a Sony X70. When I loaded it into Vegas Pro 13 the program began creating proxy audio files, a process which took nearly half a hour for a two hour video. When I do the same thing from my NX5U in HD there is no proxy creation. Any idea why the proxies from the X70?
Bump
Do you really mean audio proxy files or audio peak files?
Also – which build of VP13 do you use?
As I recall, a floating a PCM file is created in place of a lossy format file (MP3, AAC and such) if the proxy or original PCM file does not already exist.
In SF Pro, there is an option to enable/disable. There could be a hidden option in Vegas, but I don't know off hand.
Initially, it also takes time to build the peak waveform <.sfk> file in SF and/or VP.
@Marco: The program says it is building proxy files; it takes two to three times longer to do this than I would expect when it is building peak files. I'm not at my editing computer but will check to see which build is involved.
