Creating A Proxy File

The FS-5 provides the videographer the ability to create smaller proxy files to accompany the native format video clips. These proxy files are easy to share over networks or the internet and provide visual records for evaluating the larger native format clips.

This procedure is for generating a proxy file or a selected video clip:

1.From the Home menu, press the Left soft button once to go to the UTILITIES menu.
