Great Image Quality, at a tiny fraction of file size
Proxy files at 1–10% of the original size, without sacrificing usable image quality. Finish editing on mobile or relink seamlessly in any desktop NLE.
To the Cloud
Generate lightweight proxies and send them instantly — even mid-shoot.
Push directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Frame.io without ever touching a laptop.
Your editor gets the files before you're done on set.
Optimization
A custom Metal + FFmpeg pipeline to keep conversions fast and image quality optimal.
Sony consumer cameras embed a non-standard timecode that prevents proxies from relinking in Final Cut Pro. Proximator strips it during conversion — your proxies relink in FCP cleanly, without any manual work.
