To enhance efficiency in your workflow, creating and uploading files that match ioGates' proxy preview specifications can significantly speed up the process.
Use Case: Faster Approval Process
Imagine needing swift approval from a client on a 1-hour MXF master. Instead of uploading a large MXF file, which can be time-consuming and unnecessary for approval purposes, you can transcode the file locally into a much smaller H264 format that meets ioGates' proxy preview specifications. This approach bypasses the need for ioGates to create a proxy, resulting in a faster upload and availability time.
