Description Roman Lebedev 2016-11-19 12:49:36 UTC

When a proxy clip is enabled for one of the clips in the project, and setting "use proxy clips for final export" is disabled, please LOUDLY warn that proxy clip will be used. Ideally it should create a modal dialog "warning: proxy clip will be used for render? Do render?"

Better, add a checkbox to NEVER use proxy clips for file renders.

This costs a lot of time. It has cost me more than 5 hours on more than three separate occasions already :(

Roman.

Hi Jean-Baptiste Mardelle.

I have not yet tried the recent-enough version with that commit, but looking at the changes, i **think** it is not what i meant.
I do not want to see a warning simply when the toggle "Render using proxy clips".

I want to see a warning when that toggle is DISABLED, but a proxy is enabled for one of the clips (yellow "P" icon on the thumbnail in "Project Bin"(?)).
Because in such a case, for that particular clip, the proxy _WILL_ be used. No matter the value of "Render using proxy clips" toggle.

I.e. that warning should be about the actual usage of proxy clips in the render, not some settings.

Roman.

Comment 3 Jean-Baptiste Mardelle 2016-11-26 11:06:08 UTC

Ok. This change simply shows a warning when the 'RENDER WITH PROXY' option is checked. However, if this option is not checked, Kdenlive should automatically replace proxy clips in the rendered project without any user interaction.

Proxy clips should never be used by Kdenlive in rendering unless explicitely asked. So this is a bug if proxy are used in a render without the option. I recently fixed a similar issue: bug #371064 and will publish a new AppImage version soon so you can test if the bug is still reproducible for you.

Hi Roman, 

Can you please test if it is fixed?

I can not test it, because i don't use appimages, and i don't think that version is in debian testing yet.
Also, even if i would be able to test it, the issue is problematic to reproduce.
So i guess feel free to close this, and if it happens with the version containing the fix, i'll open/reopen issue.
