How to work with proxy files in VSDC
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- We are thrilled to introduce the most exciting feature of the 8.2 VSDC update: proxy file support.
With proxy support, you can now create lightweight proxy copies of your high-resolution videos, including up to 8K resolution, to be used during the editing process. This means that all your effects and edits are applied to a more manageable file, preventing processor overload and software lag. However, when it's time to export your project, rest assured that the effects and edits seamlessly transfer to the original high-resolution video.
This video continues a series on optimizing video editing performance to eliminate lags.
If you're using version 6.4.2 or an earlier release,watch the first video in this series. It focuses on enhancing video preview quality, and you can find the link to it here • How to improve video p...
If you are using version 6.4.5 or later, up to the latest release 8.2, we suggest watching the second video. This video specifically addresses video preview lagging, and you can find the link to it here • VSDC Troubleshooting v...
Haven't upgraded to 8.2 yet? Waste no time and download the latest version from our official website right now: bit.ly/3OuETFS.
i think vsdc team shoud add new video-audio and text one one effect on every update .if you agree - hit the like button🙏👍
Thank you for the suggestion; we will take it into consideration
There you go, this will bring great relief to the users indeed. Just an off-topic thing, but some of the transitions in this videos are really cool, loved them apart from the feature explained. 0:08, 0:40 rotation zoom, 1:27, and how did you make transition at 1:40 and 3:42, 3:53, 5:28 slider transitions ? it probably needs mirroring of the frames. 6:19, 6:30 shows mirror images if you slow down the speed and stop-run video. There are videos on this channel to learn transitions but I am not sure if they are exactly like such transitions of this video, I request you to make some videos of same exact transitions, once this series and all topics of Version 8.2 are covered. I am also happy that channel subscribers are growing slowly and steadily👌 Thank you. ✌😀
Hello! Thanks a lot for your feedback!
In this video we've used our own transition templates that we plan to include in one of the next software updates, so stay tuned!
And guess what? We're rolling out a new tutorial on transitions in the next couple of weeks. We will show what transitions are already available, how to create more complex transitions, how to use transitions templates. Make sure to click on the bell button and enable notifications for new videos.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Well, that's a fantastic news for VSDC fan like me... Thank you !!!
please show us how to create a good music lyrics video like 7 Clouds do 😁♥
can you ad more features for the free version and key frames
There is already a comment about error message. Let me share my experience. When I tried to make a proxy file the first time, it made the file but it did not show up when I clicked inside the folder.
When toggling the two types, the preview resolution given under the preview area should be changing, but it didn't.
Then I made a folder and changed the path to that folder. After that I created a proxy file and the folder is blank. The file in resources window has turned into black and white.
After that, whenever I try to make a proxy file, it gives error. I have closed and opened VSDC many times, but it always gives the error message.
I tried on a new project, and it allowed me to create proxy file. When I look into its default folder/path (file cache/proxy media), it has a folder but when I open it, it says "No items match your search." There are many folders there for my previous experiments, but all are empty like this.
Hello,
We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue.
Could you please specify if the error occurs with a particular media file or with all files you’re loading into the program? Additionally, have you tried changing the proxy format?
You can also email us at support@videosoftdev.com with your video file and a video demonstrating the issue.
Hello I wan to start the audio of my video after few seconds the video is started to play. So how can I delay the start of the audio? I am clueless help me
Select your audio -> Properties Window -> Object Creation Time
Or you can just drag the audio on the timeline for a less precise method
Separate audio and video from the properties window then cut a part of the audio without cutting the video
Always a win. Even 2 k footage could bog down the editor minorly.
Question though, does this help with long video sizes taking a long time to work with?
Thanks for your feedback! When experiencing lags with any footage, creating proxy files can be a helpful solution.
Yep, just confirmed it. Imported 10 hour footage and I can scroll through it reasonably well. Albeit the proxy file took all night to build, it was well worth the wait. Thanks a ton you have just saved my hours of painful waiting!
Proxy Path? You show it being on the C drive. If they are kept on my C drive will that fill my C drive up after several projects? Or does the program know to delete them when the project is over and I've stored the project on an SSD?
I keep my videos in separate folders for each project on SabDisk 4TB SSDs.
Should I use the location of my project like, D:\2024-07-08 My Ride To Mount Washington\.... to keep it with the project?
Hello, Proxy files are not automatically deleted after a project is completed, so to avoid filling up your storage space, it is recommended to delete them when they are no longer needed.
You can also set a new path with more available space for storing your proxy files.
Clean and Re-installed solved lagging
can you upgrade the wizard tab
I always get a generic error message "An error has occurred while generating proxy media". I have to generate proxies manually and move or remame folders to switch between proxy files and actual media.
Hello,
Is this issue happening with just one file or with all the video files you add to the project and try to convert to proxy? Please email us at support@videosoftdev.com. Our team will do their best to help you resolve the issue.
Hi,
I made the proxy files and did the editing. But there are some questions I have,
Whenever any cuts or effects are made on proxy will that be automatically applied to 4K video when we switch?
How do we know which file is in the timeline (Proxy or Montage)(Montage is original i believe). There is nothing to indicate it.
Plus there is one thing i am facing. After doing the editing, on exporting the project it exported saying 4K but the resolution looks like 480p(Proxy resolution).
I am not understanding how to proceed. Please do respond.
Please make a detailed tutorial for this as there is no clear path showing step by step.
Hello, proxies only work during the preview stage. The editor automatically removes them during export. You can check whether your file is a proxy using the "Show or Hide Proxies" option prnt.sc/YvNevBayXCQ9.
Regarding export quality, we need to know your settings to address the issue. Please submit your problem to support@videosoftdev.com. Our support team will gladly assist you with any questions or requests.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor I checked and found that my proxy preview settings were not correct. I had rectified that by trial and error on Friday itself. But the screenshot you shared about identifying proxy or montage isn't very conclusive. if it is showing show proxy file while hovering over the toggle, does it mean main file is in place and vice versa?
Thank you for responding.
@vsdceditor A request. Please add an indicator in the next update of the program to show which file is in the timeline, Proxy or Original.
on my laptop I don't have a dedicated GPU, it has intel i3 10th gen, integrated graphics card. What hardware decoder type should I chose?
Hello,
we recommend selecting the automatic option and trying to reduce the quality of proxy files.
Hello vsdc
I have problem and it's been about a year since I've been facing this problem .
Although it's not related to this video, I think I will get a solution to this problem
Whenever I transfer my videos from one storage to another and I want to open a project, I'm always told to find my files(videos).
So if I edited about 50 videos on my project, I have to find all the 50 videos before this project will open.
This wastes so much of my time and very hectic.
This is unlike other editing softwares, where I have to find just one video and it will locate all the video.
Please is there a way to solve this issue ?
Hello, if you intend to work on your project on different machines, use the Pack project button: prnt.sc/--D8zm6_7I3v It will save a project file with input resources. The scene can be packed as well for transferring and working on another device.
So when I create a proxy it doesn't autamatically show up on my timeline :( Any suggestions?
Hello, it will not appear on the timeline but in the preview area th-cam.com/video/4HinWfdPVmA/w-d-xo.html. If you click on this button prnt.sc/oaIP5zSfBX4x you will switch between the original quality video and your proxy file. You can see it by the quality of the image on the preview itself.
Yet another good PC software going down because of greed 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing your comment. I would appreciate it if you could provide more details about what you mean by your statement to understand your concerns better. Could you please elaborate?
And when will we finally get transformation transition and automatic subtitles?
Hello! We plan to include updated transition templates in one of the next software updates. Also we are preparing a new tutorial on transitions in the next couple of weeks. So, stay tuned!
As for automatic subtitles, this feature is not available in VSDC.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Well, if you don't plan to ever include automatic subtitles, I guess I better cancel my Pro subscription then as it's merely a waste of money.
@@nachtgespraech I upload my file to a separate TH-cam account and make it a private video. Wait a couple of hours for the automatic subtitles, edit them on TH-cam itself (it's quite a good editor), and then save them as an .SRT file which I copy and paste into my subtitles text box I re-use on every video. It's a good workaround and as I like working on subtitles in TH-cam anyway, it's a handy way of doing it and still get to use all the other great features of VSDC. Like you, I am a Pro subscriber and think it's worth it in spite of this slightly annoying workaround method.
how i zoom like you in intro
Hello,
Do you mean zoom with rotation effect at the beginning?
how can i export to pc in mp4?
Please go to the “Export project” tab, find the “Web” media device and select the “MP4” or “For TH-cam” profile.
Then click on “Export project” prnt.sc/11p382u

Bonjour,
Problème lors du changement de chemin du dossier "ProxyMedia":
Exemple:
Nouveau chemin: "D:\VSDC\ProxyMedia"
Le Media Proxy sera créé à l'adresse "D:\VSDC" (et non "D:\VSDC\ProxyMedia") le dossier créé sera nommé: "ProxyMediafb066864419300a2a49fb4f57f155aab"
Bonjour,
Essayez de modifier le chemin vers les dossiers proxy lors de la création du projet. Si vous continuez à rencontrer des problèmes, n'hésitez pas à contacter notre équipe de support support@videosoftdev.com
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor J'ai essayé de modifier le chemin vers les dossiers proxy dès la création du projet et après la création du projet: Même résultat!!
Bonjour,
Nous avons mis à jour la version sur le site web. Vous pouvez la télécharger et l'installer, et changer le chemin vers les dossiers de médias proxy sans aucun problème.
@@VSDCFreeVideoEditor Merci pour votre réactivité! Effectivement, une fois la nouvelle version installée, la modification du chemin vers les dossiers proxy s'effectue sans problème!! Merci encore! Permettez une suggestion pour une future version de VSDC: Pourquoi ne pas ajouter, dans le menu "Options" à la rubrique "Options de proxy", la possibilité de saisir l'adresse des dossiers "proxy médias", ce qui éviterait de devoir le faire à chaque nouveau projet? En effet la modification du chemin des dossiers proxy média
intervient suite à un problème de place sur le disque prévu, initialement, pour les héberger; problème récurent, hélas, lors de la création des projets suivants.
Vous pouvez changer le dossier pour les données dans les options prnt.sc/GqAPVdI9bCIu
can you make vsdc like davinci resolve
I honestly just wanna try pro so I can see whether the hardware acceleration is even worth it.
A 10 hour video takes ~5 hours to change & export on a good pc using the free version, and that's assuming VSDC doesn't crash when you add the huge file (which it tends to do). It also still takes up 1.5GB VRAM despite the fact that I'm using the free version by the way...
Their contact forms on their website is broken, and when I finally did manage to get a contact email, they just ghosted me.
Why they haven't capitalized on DaVinci Resolve being retarded and removing MKV file format I'll never know. Y'know, the default format for obs. The format literally everyone starting to record will use. They download DaVinci and are immediately met with codec not supported. So they use VSDC, only to be greeted with 5+ hour export times. If I'm going to PAY for this software, then I may aswell pay for a more recommended software instead.
Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback!
We are sorry if we have missed your email, and we kindly ask you to provide it once again. Export time can vary depending on the quality parameters and effects used in your project. To better assist you and find ways to expedite the export process for your specific project, could you please pack it and send it to our support team at support@videosoftdev.com? We will be more than happy to help you.
If you have experienced program crashes with a specific video, we kindly request you to share that video with us for testing and analysis of the issue.
Thank you in advance!
