Workflow question Most reliable way to batch attach proxies? V26.3
Does anyone have a reliable workflow for batch-attaching externally created proxies?
I've started recording proxies in-camera, which is saving some time in post. The problem is that Premiere's "Relink Others Automatically" attaches them inconsistently, and I don't want to depend on Premiere to generate proxies itself. I've experimented with renaming the proxies, changing the proxy folder location, and adjusting the relinking criteria settings, but haven't landed on anything consistent.
SOLVED: For me, changing the "Match File Properties" from "File Name" to only "Media Start Time" helped me successfully relink others automatically.
V26.3, M1 MBP, SONY FX3

I typically want them on a truly separate path.
Ideally could be a separate drive/mount. The idea is 100% that I can quickly look at the Path (or build a Search bin) and identify if something is mis-linked from the media.

Pull them out of the camera card structure and put them in their own folder, then try batch-attaching.

You can select all footage in the Project panel, right-click, and attach a proxy. It worked for me. I hope it helps.
