Hi, I’m exploring creating an app using [Frame.io](http://Frame.io). It would be an easy-to-use version of Filmic Pro. After filming a clip in Filmic Pro, the app creates proxy media and automatically uploads that to [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) for immediate use in the edit. I’ve scanned the documentation but it doesn’t look like the API includes functions to help with proxy creation…or did I miss something? Thanks! ---

Heya @BoxMan_Actual, this sounds like an interesting project! We generate proxies automatically for anything you upload that we support, but do not provide mechanisms by which a developer could provide their own proxies for a number of reasons. Any particular reason you wouldn’t just want to rely on the proxies we generate? ---

Ah, OK. Great to know! I was unsure if [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) provided the ‘proxy-generating code’, or if the Filmic Devs did that themselves. Sounds like it’s part of [Frame.io](http://Frame.io), so that’s great to know. ---

Actually, are you aware of any other iOS apps using Frame? ---

There’s LumaFusion that has an integration with Frame for pulling content and pushing cuts! ---

FilmicPro is creating the proxy on the device to relink to the OCF later. The reason for the Proxy is the smaller file size to upload while over Cellular. [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) created proxies of assets once an asset gets to Frame.
