Gather RED proxies into one directory

[Christoph Tilley]

Hi,

just got our Weapon Helium (#968) and are super excited! We just shot a bunch of clips and are wondering how to gather all ProRes Proxies in the separate directories into one parent directory. Is there a way?

Best,
Chris

If you are on a mac go into main directory of mag and search .mov or other part of the file name "A001" as example choose the main directory again on the top (otherwise it might search your whole mac)
Mark and copy or move (depending what you want to do) these files wherever you want them. I personally would only do it after you ingested everything onto 2 seperate drives...
For windows same thing just slightly different, maybe somebody else can chime in.
Hopefully Red will have an update at some point, which lets you choose what to do with prores...

Thanks man! But I think I found a faster solution meanwhile: on OSX use terminal to

mv **/*.mov /path/to/prores/directory
