Description Evert Vorster 2016-09-16 08:01:07 UTC

I just noticed that whenever I re-use a clip that I already have a proxy for in another project, the proxy is re-rendered. 
This is painfully slow and wasteful of CPU resources. Would it not be simpler to go look through all the other projects cache and see if a proxy already exists, and just copy the thing?

Also, if I wanted to delete all proxies from all projects, do I have to open each project on it's own and clear the cache, or is there a global option?

Reproducible: Always

No, proxy clips are shared. But the proxy name depends on the proxy profile. So if in your first project, you have 720px height in the proxy setting, and in your second project you have 240px height, the proxy will be recreated. However if you use same proxy profile in both projects, the proxy clip will be reused. Please check the proxy setting of your projects to confirm the problem.

Yup, see that proxies are actually shared.
