Description DL 2024-02-25 21:05:25 UTC

SUMMARY
Feature request for an expanded list of camera folder structures, or allow the user to specify a custom folder layout for proxies.  With the multitude of cameras available on the market, only supporting a couple makes usage of camera proxies very difficult.

For example, I'm using Sony Alpha cameras, which have the same folder structure are Sony PXW, but the primary clips are mp4 - not MXF, so I assume the proxy workflow doesn't recognize it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable proxy clips
2. Enable External proxy clips
3. Import clips
4. Check proxy, it renders new - doesn't check for pre-existing

OBSERVED RESULT
Only 4 camera types are supported at this time

EXPECTED RESULT
Multiple camera path pre-sets are available, or the ability to set a custom set of paths is available.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Ubuntu 23.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 DL 2024-02-25 21:19:33 UTC

Correction:  Paths for sony alpha cameras appears to be:

Original:
./CLIP/C0001.MP4

Proxy:
./SUB/C0001S03.MP4

Proxies on the alpha series, a6400 specifically, always append the filename with S03.MP4.  If there was a way for users to customize this, that would ensure universal support.
