How to Edit FAST with Proxy Files || Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) 

Have you ever had trouble playing back your footage on your computer while editing? Are you noticing that your clips take a long time to render, and constantly drop frames and play back in a choppy manner? There are many causes - even independent from the overall specs of your computer - that can cause your footage to play back slow and choppy. This includes the resolution, frame rate, bit depth and chroma subsampling and overall codec that your camera(s) captured the footage in. While this is especially common on older systems like my 2019 MacBook Pro 16", even for those with newer and faster computers like the latest M1 Macs, you may still encounter certain clips that have difficulty playing back.
In this Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) tutorial, I'll demonstrate how you can edit faster and smoother by creating proxy media out of one or more of your clips. This includes clips either that you've already imported into your library and event, or for those clips you're importing in fresh. I'll also cover how to determine when you should (or should not) bother with creating proxy files, showing examples with different clips shot with my Sony a7S III and a7 III in different frame rates, bit depths and chroma subsampling modes. Last, I'll outline a number of useful tips and tricks for editing with a proxy files workflow overall.
While this video is focused around how to apply these techniques within Final Cut Pro X, and is demonstrated using that software, though you'll find similar rules/principles can be applied in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve as well to improve performance while editing.
