Post-processing Workflow / [MAC OSX] I discovered that Compressor is a superfast proxy maker for DNGs

Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english, i'm french.
I would like to share a nice tip with you, as i've never heard of this on the forum. Compressor is able to read DNG Sequences and therefore create Movie sequences in the format you want. The best reason to use this software to render proxys is the speed. I think it's 5x times faster than After Effects, and as i can't use Resolve (because i've macbook pro 13" with GMA HD graphic card), it's very nice. The second reason is that it is very easy to create batchs.
To render the proxys, you have to follow these very easy steps.
First, select the folder containing the DNG Sequence. If you want to select multiple folders DNG Sequence, you have to select the Folder containing ALL the DNG Sequences.

Now, you have to set an output. You can create multiple outputs for each sequence (two resolutions for example)

Select the output

Click start batch

As you can see, the proxy is pretty clean, compared to the original DNG frame.

What do you think about this technique guys ? Have you tried it yet ?
