<p>I'm trying to work with a bunch (hundreds) of 4k HEVC video clips, and so far it seems like my laptop is a bit too slow to edit them effectively. I have read <a href="https://blog.frame.io/2017/03/20/premiere-pro-proxies/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">guides</a> that talk about ingesting proxy files, which is great but involves running Adobe Media encoder on my macbook.</p>

<p>Ideally I don't want to do any proxy file encoding on my macbook since it slows down my laptop too much. I want to create the proxy files on a separate unix server using ffmpeg, then copy them onto my laptop when they're done. Is this possible? </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-02-17)

I'm trying to work with a bunch (hundreds) of 4k HEVC video clips, and so far it seems like my laptop is a bit too slow to edit them effectively. I have read [guides](https://blog.frame.io/2017/03/20/premiere-pro-proxies/) that talk about ingesting proxy files, which is great but involves running Adobe Media encoder on my macbook.

Ideally I don't want to do any proxy file encoding on my macbook since it slows down my laptop too much. I want to create the proxy files on a separate unix server using ffmpeg, then copy them onto my laptop when they're done. Is this possible?
