[Cin] Nested clip and proxy

[Phyllis Smith]

IgorB: we do not quite understand your email, but here is our current
understanding.

By my tests/works, you CAN create proxies for Nested clips.

> clips)


For a regular clip ---  if you proxy your session, the clip does not get
proxied at all.

For a clip that is created and then nested --- it does not actually proxy
the clip.  It proxied the nested EDL which was created from the clip when
you did the nesting which ended up in the Media folder.  BUT if you try to
drag the nested EDL from the Proxy folder, you can not put it on the
timeline or in the Viewer to play -- thus the statement that clips can not
be proxied.

What is the Cinelerra folder?  Is that the same as the Media folder?

Proxies are only created in the Proxy folder as far as we can tell with the
"proxy" as part of the name.

Proxies are not created in the clip folder, if they were to proxy, because
all files with the "proxy" in their name are in the Proxy folder.

I am not sure if now I am more confused than I was before starting this
message! but I had gg's help.
