I don’t mind sharing the images to see if you can reproduce the problem if that helps. I’ve put them into 2 folders to keep the file size down to under 4Mb.
The images that caused the proxy creation to fail were 1, 6, 9, 11 and 12.
Yorkshire countryside photos batch 1.zip (3.2 MB)

Windows 10, btw
I tested these several times on Windows 10 without failures. You can use Properties > Proxy > Make Proxy on failures.
I have now reproduced the problem with export using the proxies.
No, the view you see at the beginning of the video is that of an empty folder (to hide my desk)
Here’s the view after the crash.
Here’s the test, apparently nothing’s happening.
The queue is stuck. You need to stop the job stuck at 0%.
After re opening the project.
There’s something weird, too.
On the video above (post 29) you can see that I uploaded 7 pictures in the playlist.
In the work view there are 10 tasks ???
But I did all of them live ???
If it can help you
Everyone, please wait until a new beta is posted before reporting any more bugs with PROXY.
Feel free to test other things and report on them. Until then any replies on that subject will be ignored.
Merge with next clip issue.
Put a clip on the timeline add a filter to it, split the clip. Use merge with next clip, the filter is duplicated. Every time the clip is split and merged the filters are replicated.
Demo.
Hello all, @shotcut !
Thanks a lot @shotcut for the amazing work, as usual. The proxy feature is especially appreciated.
As I tested, I found a few bugs (not all related to Proxies) (bugs or that at least looks like ones to me) and I also have suggestions.
BUGS (tbc)
the Proxy > Storage > Show does not do anything
strangely but similarly, the Properties > Show in folder does not work
I cannot ask the Proxy to be computed for more than one item (or at least I could not find how). When selecting multiples items in the playlist, there ws not contextual menu to perform the same action on those selected items, i.e. make a proxy.
I really think adding the Proxy menu on the right click menu should contain those proxy related actions
by mistake, I moved a proxied file from a track to another one (from #2 to #1) … I saw my mishandling, did CTRL+Z … it did no do anything, I put it back to its place manually by drag & drop … since the, the file cannot be played (black), regenerating a proxy does not work (error log says (…) proxies/04860c33160327032ab72e22928481a8.mp4: No such file or directory)
and the file, in the track appears with the proxyname, not the actual filename … I disabled the proxy, to no avail, then deleted it and tried to regenerate it … to no avail as well …
After I disabled+deleted the proxy on this clip, the properties of this clip still shows it’s a proxy ! it should be a clip …
At one point I got a crash : disbaled proxy + deleted it + tried to re-enable it : it crashed
when I reopened my project (not save since the beginning) all was fine
ENHANCEMENTS IDEA
QUESTIONS
I hope my bug reports are not too crappy !
As usual, my setup :
Thank a lot

@GLLM, you might’ve missed Dan’s message in this thread but he wrote this in this thread 2 replies before yours:
@DRM : you are right. I may have scrolled to the bottom of the thread a bit too fast.
Sorry @shotcut … I still report not proxy-related bugs in my first post 
Merging does not know which filters to keep. It does not know that the filter on the second clip was from a split. After merging you need to decide which filters to keep. This will not be changed.
This is an old bug on some Linux builds and desktop environments. I do not know why. We simply make a high level call in Qt, and then it is largely out of our hands. Perhaps a future upgrade to Qt will make a difference. For me, on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME Shell, it works in Flatpak and AppImage as well as my local compile. There is probably a file missing in our portable and snap, but I do not know.
can the proxy format be chosen ? I have an H/W compatible encoder, and it can perform HEVC or X264 … but I’m not sure enabled means “selected”. I see the proxy are in HEVC
Covered in the docs (below), but turn off hardware encoder for x264.
Wait, so Shotcut will have Offline Video Editing? Can I still upscale the resolution?
i think it always been.
Some thoughts about the Sildeshow Generator:
Finally, there is a bug that I have come across where the very first clip of the slideshow is not animated but the rest are. It keeps happening and I don’t have to really do anything except use the default settings. If you are not coming across this then I will provide more details.
