•For each video content that you add to your project, VERTEX automatically calculates proxy files in a small and a middle quality and resolution.
•The progress of this encoding is displayed with an orange progress bar into your content tile
•Into the Render Editor you are able to switch between original file and proxy file.
Encoding and Status
•The orange progress bar into the content item in Project Explorer shows you the status of the encoding process
•By default, the amount of parallel encoding jobs into a VERTEX project is set to 1. When import multiple files, the encoding will be done one by one.
•All Proxy Files are saved into your VERTEX Project Folder. When the Encoding Process is finished, they are distributed in background to all other VERTEX Systems into a Project.
When VERTEX is creating the proxy file of your video content, the CPU usage is higher as usual.
When the process is finished you should observe a decrease of your PC's CPU usage.
