Your native files at full resolution probably live on a high-speed hard drive (external or internal), a RAID, or a fiber-connected SAN. Organization is key, and when you\u2019re under time constraints, sometimes organization is the first thing that gets affected.<\/p><p>If someone in New York has 4TB of camera files and you\u2019re editing in Los Angeles, one option is to ship them via hard drive. This is a great option if the files are all on one drive. If not, things can get messy quickly.<\/p><p>You may have Day 1 and 2 or one drive, then another drive daisy chained with part of Day 3 and part of Day 5, then another with Day 4 and the other parts of Days 3 and 5, and so on. Confused again? Me too.<\/p><p>With Evolphin Zoom, all of the camera files are in the cloud and accessible to anyone anywhere there is an internet connection. Plus they\u2019re secure.<\/p><p>If a drive in your daisy chain suddenly decides to shut down permanently, or that third cup of coffee spills and fries your RAID, you\u2019re back at square one. Now you\u2019re asking for a delivery of camera files again and transcoding proxy files afresh. Evolphin Zoom prevents this disaster by keeping all your files safe and sound.<\/p><p>As for storage, making your proxy files before shipment could lower the amount of storage you need from 7TB of camera files to 1TB or less for the proxy files.<\/p><p>In this case, you\u2019ll only need 1TB of free storage space. That\u2019s much cheaper when it comes to cost &#8211; and if it\u2019s being sent over the internet, much less time to download.<\/p><p>However, this 1TB of free space may be spread over several drives, depending on what you have available to you.<\/p><p>So now you have proxies on a few drives. You navigate to some of them and accidentally move a file, or quickly add new media here and, boom, media is offline and misplaced. You\u2019ve just lost some editing time searching for something you just had online.<\/p><p>Again, Evolphin Zoom prevents this. When Zoom downloads proxy files, it does so in a specific path that stays the same on each drive and for each editor. Your pathway will never change, so misplacing media is a thing of the past.<\/p><p>Even if a project comes back months or even years down the road, the pathway stays the same. Nothing changes in the cloud in the interim, and redownloading and relinking is quick and easy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-793230a7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"793230a7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2dc04d35\" data-id=\"2dc04d35\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d47cd80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1d47cd80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Switching Between LowRes Proxies and Native Files<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5af2904c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5af2904c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You\u2019ve probably spent days, weeks and months working on your project and you know this like the back of your hand.<\/p><p>But the downside is, you\u2019ve spent all this time working on your project, and your eyes aren\u2019t so fresh. It\u2019s time for your final export. You\u2019ve crossed your t\u2019s and dotted your i\u2019s, right? Has your co-editor done the same?<\/p><p>The Toggle Proxy button in Premiere Pro quickly lets you switch between your proxy file and high-resolution file. If it\u2019s blue, you\u2019re viewing the proxy file. If it\u2019s white, you\u2019re viewing the high-resolution file.<br \/>But what if you go through and make a change to one file in proxy mode and forget to toggle it back to high resolution? What if a collaborator forgot to make that change and it\u2019s now your job to export the final file?<\/p><p>If you have a \u201cjust right\u201d proxy file, you might get away with it, depending on your export\u2019s destination.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re exporting for theatrical or streaming, it\u2019ll stick out like a sore thumb. If you\u2019re exporting for the web or YouTube and that clip is critical, you might want to redo it.<\/p><p>Finally, if it\u2019s being compressed even further for an internal video or website, well, you might have to make a judgment call. But making that call isn\u2019t really a place you want to be.<\/p><p>The problem with having a great looking proxy file is that a situation like this is more likely to occur, so you need a quick, easy fix.<\/p><p>With Evolphin Zoom and its integrated Adobe plugin, you can quickly see which files are connected to camera files (high res) and which ones are connected to proxy files (low res).<\/p><p>Simply click Browse in the top bar, then Linked Files. From here you can immediately see which files are connected to both resolutions.<\/p><p>Either you or a collaborator can quickly find the proxy clip and with the press of the \u201chigh res\u201d button, the high resolution file will be back online. Need to make another quick change? Press \u201clow res\u201d and your back editing with the proxy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7bcbc943 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7bcbc943\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20ed33d4\" data-id=\"20ed33d4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbd4c63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dbd4c63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Export Complete<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5196cb63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5196cb63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some of us edit with HD monitors, some of us have 4K monitors.
