            Bug ID: 499559
           Summary: Proxy's are not edit friendly.
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: 24.12.1
          Platform: Microsoft Windows
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Project Bin & Import
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Proxy clips that are generated are not "an edit friendly format"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. generate proxy's at 720p with the x264 profile

OBSERVED RESULT
sometimes the proxies are not an edit friendly format for my mkv 265 videos
files even though the base video files are supposedly edit friendly. This
causes the program to request that I re-encode them after the proxies generate.
Don't know why. When this happens re-encoding the footage as recommended
re-encodes the base video causing a needless loss in quality and requiring the
regeneration of proxies. so in the end when I should just need to generate the
proxies once, I instead need to generate them twice and re-encode the video
once too. This causes large delays uses a lot of space and makes worse quality
in the end. Sometimes Kdenlvie also says that my video files have a variable
frame-rate and need re-encodeing but I am recording with CBR in OBS so this
should not be happening. Don't know if the problem is with Kdenlive or OBS for
that second part.

EXPECTED RESULT
Proxy's should always be edit friendly if the base footage is.
