Replacing and substituting footage

About placeholders and proxies

When you want to temporarily use a substitute for footage, choose one of two alternatives: a placeholder or a proxy.
A still image of color bars used to temporarily take the place of missing footage. Use a placeholder when
Placeholder
you are building a composition and want to try out ideas for footage that is not yet available. After Effects generates
placeholders automatically, so you do not have to provide any placeholder footage.
Most often a lower-resolution or still version of existing footage used to replace the original to save processing
Proxy
time. Use a proxy when you have the actual footage but you want to speed up previewing or rendering of test movies.
You must have a file available to use as a proxy.
Using either method, any masks, attributes, expressions, effects, and keyframes that you apply to the placeholder or
proxy are transferred to the actual footage when you insert it. You can even set a proxy for a placeholder, so that you
use a low-resolution or still version of full-resolution footage that is not yet available.
If final footage is unavailable, and you simply want to substitute draft footage or a storyboard still image, you can
import the draft footage and replace it with final footage later.

Notes
Other audio filters are not
converted.
Speed and time stretch have an
inverse relationship. For example,
50% speed in Adobe Premiere Pro
is converted to 200% stretch in
After Effects.
To copy sequence markers, you
must either copy the sequence
itself or import the entire Adobe
Premiere Pro project as a composi-
tion.
Audio tracks that are either 5.1
surround or greater than 16-bit
aren't supported. Mono and stereo
audio tracks are imported as one
or two layers.
