OffloadPro is a dedicated proxy transcode farm that works in the background — lightning fast — so your editorial team keeps working.
parth@apete.chEvery time an Assistant Editor generates proxies in Resolve, their workstation is locked up for hours. With 6K and 8K camera formats, this problem is only getting worse.
AE machines become unusable during proxy renders — no editing, no organizing, nothing.
No centralized system to see what's rendering, what's done, or what failed across the team.
Expensive hardware sitting idle on editing while Resolve chews through proxies.
Every machine running Resolve for proxies is a license tied up on transcoding instead of creative work.
Your team opens a browser, picks files, and submits. Dedicated machines handle the rest.

Every feature is designed around one goal: keep your editorial team working while proxies generate themselves.
Every proxy carries the exact source timecode, reel name, and camera metadata. Verified after every transcode. Non-negotiable.
Auto-detects NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, and AMD AMF. H.264/H.265 encodes run 3–10x faster than CPU. Falls back gracefully.
Apply .cube/.3dl LUTs during proxy generation. Convert log footage to Rec.709 automatically so editorial proxies look right.
Submit during the day, render overnight. Admin blackout windows reserve machines for editing during business hours.
Full dashboards: transcode hours, worker utilization, storage consumed, per-user activity. Export to CSV for reporting.
Real-time in-app alerts plus configurable email notifications. Job started, completed, failed — your team always knows.
Browse your NAS live from the browser. No indexing, no syncing. Select files, submit, done. Admins mount shares from the UI.
Add a render machine in 15 minutes. Install, mount NAS, point at Manager. It auto-registers and starts pulling jobs immediately.
Admin and User roles. AEs see their own jobs. Admins see everything. Full control, zero SSH required.
Wide input support for camera-native formats. Flexible output across all major proxy codecs and containers.
Invalid codec/container combos are automatically blocked. The UI only shows valid pairings.
