Shotcut seems to not create proxies

Hi,

I am having trouble with Shotcut. When I import my clips, Shotcut does not create proxies. I have changed the default location of the proxy folder. Also the location of the AppData folder. Proxy is enabled. The proxy folder is empty when the clips are imported.

Shotcut only imports the clips to the playlist.

I also reinstalled Shotcut (used Revo uninstaller) after deleting all the files in the AppData folder.

What’s going wrong?

Thanks! I already enabled proxies but I didn’t realise that Shotcut only creates proxies above a certain resolution! Stupid me!
