What current proxy file types does Shotcut detect? I had been using DJI products that include the LRF files that Shotcut automatically recognizes as proxy files, so it doesn’t try to render new ones.
I have a new camera that uses XRF files which are also proxy files, but Shotcut doesn’t recognize. Outside of renaming all of them to LRF, is there another way to make Shotcut recognize them as proxy files?
DJI and GoPro LRV but the GoPro support requires more work, not a simple filename extension swap like DJI. What makes XRF?
There’s a new series, Xtra…basically the US version of DJI. When I convert the XRF to LRF it works perfectly fine
I could change the DJI code to a set of filename extensions, but each one adds more work to some operations especially when loading a project with proxy turned on. You should continue to rename for now because I am not yet convinced to add an extension for the many knock-off action camera brands not to mention DSLR and mirrorless. I will try to get around to adding a setting to configure a custom extension and to choose which ones to use when looking as well as I think there is sub-folder approach: proxy has the same name but in a sub-folder with name X of the original.
It seems like renaming is currently the only reliable way since Shotcut’s auto-detect logic is specifically tuned for extensions like LRF and LRV. Using a batch renaming utility might be your fastest workaround for now to keep the workflow smooth until more formats are officially supported.
I didn’t know it was such a pain in the ass for the developers. I thought I was able to add a file type allow list on my end. I can just rename.
agreed
Claude came up with an amazing automated solution for me.
If I copy-paste below on notepad and save as a BAT file, double-clicking it will convert any XRF files in the folder it’s in.
@echo off
for /r %%f in (*.XRF) do ren “%%f” “%%~nf.LRF”
echo Done! All XRF files renamed to LRF.
pause
Cheers!
