In EDIUS, original proxy files recorded in the P2 or XDCAM camera can be used. You can also utilize functions such as “Proxy originated editing” that allows to use an untransferred clip or temporary editing clip (proxy source) while editing and replace it with the actual editing clip (high-resolution source) before final export.
Formats that allow switching between high-resolution and proxy editing sources are as follows.
Sony: XDCAM, XAVC, XAVC S
Panasonic: P2
Formats that can be used in proxy originated editing are as follows.
Sony: XDCAM, XAVC, XAVC S

1) From the source browser, import sources (such as P2 or XDCAM) containing a proxy file.
High-resolution/Proxy is displayed in the area of High-resolution/Proxy of the bin, because sources have a property of a high-resolution and proxy.
2) Switch to the proxy mode and edit.
3) Replace the proxy source with a high-resolution clip and export the edited clip.
The flow of proxy originated editing is as follows.
1) Import proxy sources.
Untransferred clips or temporary editing clips are registered in the bin.
2) Edit the timeline using the untransferred clips or temporary editing clips.
3) Replace the untransferred clips or temporary editing clips with the actual editing clips.
There are two methods to import proxy sources.
1) Connect media that contain proxy sources to the PC.
2) In the folder view of the source browser, click the medium to view, and then click on the drive or reference folder.
The operation differs depending on the medium.
Sources on the medium are displayed in the clip view.
3) Right-click on a proxy source clip to import, and click [Add and Transfer to Bin].
Data transfer to the PC will be started in the background at the same time that the clip is registered to the bin.
The clip will become an untransferred clip and will be recognized as a source that has only proxy data (not transferred to high-resolution data).
