Description Anton Gubarkov 2016-02-04 21:33:11 UTC
I shoot in AVCHD. When I jog thru my clips forward, I usually can move frame-by-frame and my monitor is updated for every frame. When I move backward, I usually see no updates in the monitor until I encounter a key frame. I used to create proxies to mitigate this problem. The profile I use to encode my proxies is DNxHD 720p@60M - this is what my laptop can handle.

When my proxies are created, I expect that the playhead movements are updated in the monitor as they go. I see the same keyframed update of the monitor when I go backward instead. Besides that, the quality of the monitor stays at 1080p as originally filmed instead of going down to 720p. 

When I copy my proxy file and add it to the project bin as a usual clip, I can observe the expected smoothness of backward motion.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a DNxHD proxy of a 1080p @ 50 frames/sec
2. go back in either clip or project monitor
3. observe no frame update in backward jog.

Removing proxy flag on the clip and setting it back fixed the issue.
