Persistent queues, watch folders, Shortcuts, HEVC Main10, flexible proxy sizes, HDR-to-Rec.709 color management, and NLE conformance checks.
ProxyForge is a professional video proxy generator for editors, DITs, and post-production teams. Select camera media, choose an editing workflow, and create validated proxies without a command line.
### Professional output
- ProRes Proxy 422 with PCM audio
- H.264 High Profile with AAC audio
- HEVC Main10 with AAC audio
- 540p, 720p, 1080p, or 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% frame sizes
- HDR/wide-gamut preservation or color-managed SDR Rec.709 output
### Built for relinking
- Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and General compatibility modes
- Source timecode preservation, including supported Sony XML sidecars
- Every source audio stream mapped to the proxy
- Source folder structure preserved at the destination
- Per-file conformance checks before atomic output publication
### Durable batch workflows
- Persistent, reorderable queue with retry, recovery, import, and export
- Stable-file watch folders for authorized local media
- Shortcuts actions to create proxies, start the queue, and scan watch folders
- One to four concurrent files with pause, resume, cancellation, disk monitoring, and actionable errors
- Markdown reports and JSON conformance manifests
ProxyForge scans MOV, MP4, MXF, MTS, and MKV containers. ProRes RAW MOV sources use a native AVFoundation pre-conversion path. RED R3D files are detected and reported but are not decoded because that requires RED's licensed tools.
Your media stays on your Mac. The ProxyForge app has no analytics, accounts, cloud processing, or network client entitlement.

## Suggested Screenshot Captions
1. **Main Workflow:** “Codec, frame size, color, and NLE settings in one place”
2. **Persistent Queue:** “Reorder, retry, and resume multi-folder proxy jobs”
3. **Watch Folders:** “Automate local ingest after files finish copying”
4. **Processing:** “Monitor concurrent work, speed, time, and destination space”
5. **Completion:** “Review reports and machine-readable conformance results”
6. **Saved Presets:** “Recall repeatable settings for every edit bay”
## Support Notes
- H.264 cannot preserve HDR; select Rec.709 conversion, ProRes Proxy, or HEVC Main10.
- Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve modes generate an output with the exact source basename for relinking.
- Watch folders wait for an unchanged file size and modification date before queuing media, exclude the destination subtree, and require folders previously selected by the user.
- Interrupted queue jobs return to Pending on the next launch. Existing completed proxies are skipped.
- Queue, preset, watch-folder, and folder-authorization state is stored only in the app's local sandbox.

ProxyForge 1.10 turns one-off proxy creation into a durable, validated workflow:
- Queue multiple source folders, reorder work, retry failures, and recover interrupted jobs after relaunch.
- Automate authorized local folders with stable-file detection, or run ProxyForge from Shortcuts.
- Choose ProRes Proxy, H.264, or 10-bit HEVC output at 540p, 720p, 1080p, or 25/50/75/100% of source size.
- Preserve detected HDR and wide-gamut color, or tone-map PQ/HLG footage to SDR Rec.709.
- Use dedicated Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve compatibility modes.
- Preserve every audio stream and validate frame rate, duration, field order, audio layout, timecode, dimensions, filenames, and color before publishing each proxy.
- Review richer Markdown reports and a machine-readable JSON conformance manifest.
All processing and automation remain local on your Mac. This version also includes stability, accessibility, packaging, and error-recovery improvements.
