Great news for all Adobe Premiere users: Roxy - the mighty proxy panel - accelerates every video workflow
Roxy the mighty proxy' panel is a MoovIT innovation that greatly simplifies the work of anyone who wants to interact quickly and smoothly with Adobe Premiere - from freelancers to large user groups.
Why does this small tool promise such huge benefits for Premiere editing tasks?
Fast, decentralised and interconnected workflows are becoming increasingly commonplace in video post-production environments, but these processes frequently hit physical hurdles when it comes to editing and exchanging large video files. Despite the high data volumes involved, there is a clear need for fast data transfer and transmission rates, not to mention error-free file editing and processing. The greater the effort involved, the greater the costs. MoovIT's software developers have found an answer to this challenge: a proxy panel that paves the way for Adobe Premiere users to complete their editing tasks with reduced data transfer rates, in a highly automated proxy workflow. At the same time, the solution can automatically transfer all editing and formatting information (such as playout data) to the original hi-res files - in full, and entirely in the background. This proxy tool - named Roxy - is already being used in the sports production industry. Now, Roxy is being made available to all Adobe Premiere users.
What does this solution look like?
Hi-res and proxy files can be edited separately, while the proxy cut' is transferred to the original file in the background Roxy is a proxy panel implemented within Premiere. When importing a high-resolution (e.g. Full HD) file, Premiere can create a proxy (effectively, a preview') file which contains exactly the same image and sound content, but with significantly higher compression and/or a lower resolution, e.g. in MP4 format. Editors working in Premiere can access both files equally, regardless of the codec, and switch seamlessly between the two. Depending on where the file will be used, the proxy may already meet the relevant quality requirements. Moreover, it is also possible to edit in Premiere exclusively using the proxy file.
Why is the Roxy panel a perfect addition to Premiere's proxy function?
Clear benefits include presets that reduce the need for manual settings adjustments, plus additional features such as multi-audio Theoretically, proxy-based editing in Premiere is also possible without Roxy. However, users would then need to perform many tasks manually, such as importing files, creating presets, defining paths, starting conversion processes, checking compatibility, checking the target folder for completeness, and more. This makes processing significantly more complicated, and many features such as multi-audio are not available at all - making for a relatively cumbersome experience in practice.
How does Roxy help?
Presets automate processes The panel monitors all projects and files. After defining the presets once, the proxies are created automatically without any further manual commands. Accordingly, the files are then sent automatically to the correct destination, without needing to be routed via the Media Encoder.
Work locally or in the cloud Roxy supports both local and remote cloud-based working. Files are stored at the target locations depending on how further processing and post-production is organised. For decentralised projects, this location may be LucidLink, for example. Once the presets have been created, they are executed automatically. And the files themselves are produced both rapidly and in a very high quality.
Background hardware encoder ensures low CPU loads A hardware encoder running in the background enables very high processing power during conversion processes. This is vital, especially when working with large data volumes. In contrast to the Media Encoder, the CPU load is very low. All Apple computers and many PCs already have the necessary hardware, and for the rare occasions where this is not the case, two presets ensure that everything runs smoothly and safely. The first preset applies when hardware acceleration is available - which is the case in most scenarios. The second preset steps in if the first option doesn't work, with encoding performed in the traditional' way by utilising the CPU. These fall-back solutions also ensure that users always retain the ability to customise their settings.

Multi-audio - a real Roxy USP Roxy can do what Adobe Premiere can't: it supports multi-audio, a critical component for professional editing projects. Roxy allows users to create proxies from clips with 4, 8 or even 16 audio tracks, and to connect these tracks to the hi-res material. Premiere can only process 2 audio channels with its own proxy function.
The significant advantage of the Roxy workflow with H.264/H.265 is the combination of high image quality and heavy compression of the image files. This, together with the professional-grade audio track functionality and the full scope of Premiere's features, enables perfect editing with the proxy cut'.
