Embedded Files
Sometimes we have to use a proxy editing workflow to handle the massive file sizes and bandwidth required by our high end camera files. A Proxy File is a compressed version of the original. When editing is finished we revert to the original camera files for colour grading and mastering.

Additional Points
Once you have finished transcoding you can remove your hard drive and keep it somewhere safe.
With your hard drive disconnected you will get error messages when PP tries to find the camera files. Just cancel these to ignore them.
When you are ready to export for the colour grade just toggle proxies off to link to the original camera files.
