Do you still use proxies, or just edit native?

I run a small podcast post-production team with remote editors. A typical episode is around 40-50 GB of 4K footage. The editor has to download all of it first, then making proxies ties up their machine for another 2–3 hours. They can't start cutting until both are done, so a big chunk of the day is gone before the edit even starts.

Trying to work out if this is normal or if we're doing it wrong. Should we just edit native (Note the edits are multicam - super heavy)? Have someone else make the proxies? Something else?

If you use proxies, how do you make them (Premiere ingest, Media Encoder, Resolve, someone on the team)?

*Thank you so much guys. All your responses have made a lot of things clear. Really appreciate all the advice!!

Is he a Poodle?

Hey guys, this Goku my 7.5 month old pup. He weighs around 25 lbs. What kind of poodle is he (Moyen?) or is he even a poodle or a mix? Our breeder said he was a mini and his parents did look mini to us on the photos (but this is new to us). Now that our boy is big, me and my gf debate over if he is mini/moyen/standard or even a poodle lol cause he looks unusually fluffy and has extremely soft hair. Regardless we love him to death! 🫠🫠

[Hiring] Podcast editor (trailer-focused) — remote, full-time, ₹50–75k/month

Hey guys, I run a small podcasting agency (Studio52). Bit of background — I've been doing this full-time for about 6 years, solo freelance work to start, then bringing on contractors (on and off) as the work grew. Over that time I've worked with some genuinely big names — billion-dollar companies and well-known founders. Now I'm finally building a proper in-house team.

This isn't a generic editing gig cutting influencers, online gurus or small one-off jobs. I'm building a proper media house for tech — the team behind the content for tech companies, startups and founders, people who actually get the stuff being talked about. I've already got good connections across SF, the EU and the Middle East, and now I'm building the team to turn that into something big. The next 12 months are going to be busy and exciting — scaling up, bringing in more people every few months — and as we grow, you grow with it: more senior roles, more involvement, more ownership.

The work itself is a lot more interesting than your average editing gig — these are real conversations with people who actually know their field. Deep tech stuff: quantum computing, AI, blockchain. Founders, scientists, serious companies. Substantial, professional work, the kind that's actually worth putting your name on.

The main thing I'm after is someone (from India) who's properly good at trailers and hooks. If you can take a long episode and cut a trailer that makes someone stop scrolling, that's the skill that matters most to me. It's not just trailers though — full episodes (multi-cam), clips, the whole range, across a few different shows. I want someone who takes ownership and runs with things, not someone who needs every step spelled out.

Mainly looking for: a solid trailer reel, comfortable in Premiere + AE, uses AI tools in their workflow, and is into the kind of topics we cover — or at least willing to research enough to actually get them, not edit blind.

Full-time, remote for now (likely moving in-house in Bangalore or Kochi down the line).

Compensation: ₹50–75k/month depending on how you do in the rounds.
