Just be aware that while the editing process will go much smoother, you will lose time on the front-end and back-end because you will need to transcode and then eventually replace the lower resolution footage. If you need more info on how to make proxies in Premiere Pro check out our previous post. By transcoding that footage down into a lower resolution format you can help speed up the editing process by a lot. The file size of raw (or uncompressed footage) can be astronomical and it will tax your computer system if it isn’t equipped to handle such a workload. Offline editing is used when you’re working with high file size/high resolution video files. – Chris Gatesįor a great look at an offline edit and its fundamentals check out this video tutorial from Dan Jacobs. Offline editing in simple terms is the use of proxy footage, duplicate footage of the original source, for video editing. Once they move torward exporting the project, the original high resolution footage replaces the proxy footage. The video editor will use this proxy footage through the rough, fine and final cut. The transcoded footage is now proxy footage and it exist as at lower resolution (and lower file size) than the raw files. Offline editing begins when the video editor (or tape operator) takes raw footage and makes a duplicate of it that has been transcoded down to a more compressed format like ProRes or an intermediate codec. Although offline editing may be more phased out going forward (more on that below) it’s historically been an important aspect of the post-production process. In fact, I recently spoke to a group of college students and the topic of “offline editing” came up. Many young/emerging filmmakers and video pros have never been exposed to offline vs online editing. What is offline video editing? How does it work….and is it a thing of the past?
