Which statement correctly describes switching from proxy media to full-resolution media during editing and final export?

• A. Proxies cannot be switched after editing begins; you must re-import full-resolution media.
• B. The Proxies toggle (Toggle Proxies) lets you switch between proxies and full-resolution for editing; final export uses the full-resolution media.
• C. Proxies automatically convert to full-resolution during export without any toggle.
• D. Proxies are only a planning aid and have no impact on playback.

Answer: (D)

Proxies are smaller, lower‑resolution copies of your media used to keep editing smooth when the original files are large or slow to play. You can switch between using these proxies and the full‑resolution media during editing with the Proxies toggle, so you’re editing with the performance you need without permanently changing your source files. For final export, Premiere Pro uses the full‑resolution media, giving you the best quality in the delivered file. Proxies change playback performance, not just a planning phase, so they do impact how you work on the timeline. They’re not something that automatically convert during export; you simply export using the full‑res media to get the highest quality unless you choose a workflow that explicitly exports with proxies.
