📺 ProxyMate — Batch Fix Audio Channels in Video Proxies A minimal, native macOS app that batch-converts .mp4 and .mov files to have the correct number of audio channels — perfect for fixing proxy relinking issues in Adobe Premiere Pro.
🔧 Why This Exists
Premiere Pro throws errors when trying to relink proxy files that were created with the wrong number of audio channels. This tool solves that problem by letting you:
🎯 Choose a target number of audio channels (e.g. 2, 6, 8) to match your original media.
⚡ Batch convert them using FFmpeg (smartly adds/removes channels) without the need to endure long re-render times.
✨ Features Drag-and-drop UI
Native macOS .app (bundled with FFmpeg)
Custom audio channel control (1–8 channels)
Live FFmpeg console output
Progress tracking and smart file skipping
Minimal, styled dark interface
🚀 Built With Python 3
PyQt5
FFmpeg / FFprobe
PyInstaller (for macOS packaging)
This app uses FFmpeg, a free and open-source multimedia framework, under the GPLv3 license.
The FFmpeg binaries are included for convenience. You can obtain the source code and learn more at https://ffmpeg.org.
