Apple Shake 4 - Manual (Page 159)

Chapter 4 Using Proxies 159
The following example uses one of the tutorial clips to illustrate how you can create
custom proxy settings to create half-height proxies for anamorphic footage. Do not
read the tutorial images in right away.
To pre-generate customized proxies from the Shake interface:
1 In the Globals tab, open the useProxy subtree.
2 Set your proxy1DefaultFile to:
/TEMP/saint_p.1x.5
3 Set your proxy2DefaultFile to:
/TEMP/saint_p.25x.5
Note: This example requires you to use the tutorial images, and it is likely (if you are at
a large facility) that you do not have permissions to create files and directories in the
install directory. Therefore, set the proxy directories to be in an open user area.
(Typically, you do not save your proxies into the TEMP directory.)
4 Open the proxy1 subtree, and set scale to 1, ratio to .5, format to .iff, and turn
proxy1DefaultAlwaysAdd on.
5 Open the proxy2 subtree, and set proxy 2, to 25 and .5, format to .iff, and turn
proxy2DefaultAlwaysAdd on.
6 Open proxy3 and disable AlwaysAdd (in this example, you only need two proxy sets).
