How do you manage Proxies once editing is finished?

• A. Disconnect proxies by turning off Proxy mode or render with full-resolution media; delete proxies if not needed.
• B. Always keep proxies enabled for final export.
• C. Proxies automatically delete themselves.
• D. Proxy mode automatically switches to full resolution for final render with no action needed.

Answer: (D)

Proxies are lower‑resolution copies used to keep editing smooth. When you’re done editing, DaVinci Resolve can switch to the full-resolution media for the final render automatically, so you don’t have to manually turn off proxy mode or swap media before exporting. This means you can take advantage of fast playback while editing and still get a high-quality final output without extra steps. If you want to reclaim disk space later, you can delete the proxy files, but the render itself will use the original resolution automatically.
