Proxy-first workflow

The VEGAS Pro proxy-first workflow allows you to fast-track your video projects.

When you're using a Wireless Adapter (such as the Sony CBK-WA100 or CBK-WA101), you can upload video proxies to the cloud or other server, start editing your project using proxy media, and relink to full-resolution media when you're ready to finalize your project.

1. Record your video with an XDCAM camera and Wireless Adapter.

   For information about setting up the Wireless Adapter, please refer to its documentation.

2. Copy your proxy files to the computer where VEGAS Pro is running.

   TIP

   The Wireless Adapter can upload your media to a cloud service or to another server. Just download your files to your local drive when you need them.

   If you have access to the camera's memory card, you can also copy files directly from the memory card to your computer.

3. Create and edit your VEGAS Pro project:

   1. Start a new project.

   2. Add your proxy clips to the Project Media window.

   3. Add your proxy clips to the timeline and edit your project as usual.

4. Replace your project's proxy media with full-resolution media.

   1. Choose Tools | Relink Wireless Adapter Media. The Relink Wireless Adapter Media dialog indicates the number of proxy files that can be relinked to full-resolution media. Click Yes to .

   2. Browse to the folder where your full-resolution clips are saved and click OK.

      NOTE If your project contains full-resolution clips from multiple folders, you'll be prompted to repeat step 4b for each folder.

5. Render your project to an appropriate delivery format. For more information, see Rendering projects (Render As)
