<p>Because premiere sometimes drops resolution while playing, it can be hard to see whether a proxy is enabled or not. You can test it by rendering a proxy with a watermark and seeing if it goes away when you turn off proxies.</p>

<p>I want to be able to make multi-camera edits using low res proxy files, then be able to recreate those edits using HD footage. I'm using CC 2019. Here's my workflow:</p>

<ol>
<li>Import HD files into Premiere, and create a multi-camera source
sequence </li>
<li>Select the clips, right click them and create proxies</li>
</ol>

<p>When I open the Multi-camera Source Sequence in Timeline, I can toggle the proxy files by clicking the Toggle Proxies button.</p>

<p>When I create a Sequence from my Multi-camera Source Sequence, and open it in the timeline, I am no longer able to Toggle Proxies.</p>

<p>Is this the expected behaviour, or am I doing something wrong?</p>

<p>I have found <a href="https://youtu.be/GaNPlbTt0y4" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this workaround</a>, but it involves duplicating the multi-camera sequence, and swapping out the footage for the low-res footage. I'd prefer Premiere to manage toggling the proxies itself if possible.</p>

# Working on multi-camera edits using proxy files in Premiere

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-04)

I want to be able to make multi-camera edits using low res proxy files, then be able to recreate those edits using HD footage. I'm using CC 2019. Here's my workflow:

1. Import HD files into Premiere, and create a multi-camera source
   sequence
2. Select the clips, right click them and create proxies

When I open the Multi-camera Source Sequence in Timeline, I can toggle the proxy files by clicking the Toggle Proxies button.

When I create a Sequence from my Multi-camera Source Sequence, and open it in the timeline, I am no longer able to Toggle Proxies.

Is this the expected behaviour, or am I doing something wrong?

I have found [this workaround](https://youtu.be/GaNPlbTt0y4), but it involves duplicating the multi-camera sequence, and swapping out the footage for the low-res footage. I'd prefer Premiere to manage toggling the proxies itself if possible.
