Attach proxies to full resolution

Attach proxies to full resolution in Adobe Premiere Pro — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I need the full-resolution files linked to the sequence I'm delivering. Attach the proxies I was using back to the original master clips so the export contains full quality. Start with the rushes in Project Bin named 'Interview Day 2', then 'B-roll Exterior'. Double-check frame rates and color space match before I queue the final export tonight.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I hand this to mastering, make approving the full-resolution deliverable painless: show which clips will switch from proxy to full-res, display each clip's original file name and path up top, surface any mismatched frame rates or color profiles, and flag files that are offline or have different start times that could break the timeline.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I swapped to proxies to speed editing and now need to restore masters for final export.

I edited the three-act documentary using proxies and now must relink to originals for color grade and delivery. The Producer expects a 4K master by Friday. I'm worried some original files moved folders during ingest and that relinking may create timecode drift or break multicam. Where should I look first, which relink method avoids altering clip timing, and what immediate checks will tell me it's safe to export?

Become — change the pattern

I keep exporting with proxies still attached and get client rejections.

Across projects I keep delivering files with proxies still attached or with mismatched masters because I rush the relink step. It costs me re-exports and credibility. What change in my final-stage routine will reliably force me to verify full-resolution attachments? Suggest a concise checklist, a habit to build before export, and one automation or project setting I should enable to make this stick.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
