Remote post-production collaboration is challenging for various reasons.\u00a0<\/p><p>First, managing high-resolution video files shot by professional cameras is a task that demands computers with high processing power and fast data transfer speeds. Then there\u2019s the need for clear, visually-led communication when collaborating on audiovisual material. A work environment with limited face-to-face interactions presents new challenges in communicating illustratively with other collaborators. This mix of sub-optimal communication, poor data transfer capabilities for large files, and limited computing power for editing hi-res files throttles the entire remote video production workflow.\u00a0<\/p><p>Fortunately, KQED found a solution in its <a href=\"https:\/\/evolphin.com\/media-asset-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media asset management platform<\/a> &#8211; proxy video editing. Proxy files enable multiple editors to collaborate on large files, eliminating the need to shell out on expensive hardware.<\/p><p>The rest of this article will discuss the practice of editing video proxy files and how like KQED, you can use this technique to optimize your remote video production workflow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

A more in-depth answer to this question is that it depends on your unique situation and current challenges.

Some difficulties that proxy editing can address include:<\/p><ul><li><b>Limited infrastructure<\/b>: Proxies can help you make the most out of the tools you already have. For remote teams collaborating on large projects, difficulties with simultaneous access to original source footage can be addressed with proxies.\u00a0<\/li><li><b>Low-performance editing PCs<\/b>: If you\u2019re stuck with low-performance hardware, editing raw footage \u2014 especially when you need to add visual effects \u2014 can be a headache.

Proxies can help multi-site teams effortlessly share files anywhere in the world.<\/li><li><b>Protect source footage<\/b>: The more editors you have working on a project, the higher the risk of making irreversible mistakes.
