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.
Placeholder A still image of color bars used to temporarily take the place of missing footage. Use a placeholder when
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.
Proxy Most often a lower-resolution or still version of existing footage used to replace the original to save processing
time.Useaproxywhenyouhavetheactualfootagebutyouwanttospeeduppreviewingorrenderingoftestmovies.
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.
