+
+The Cache is used to save frames in memory for preview,
+so they can be later displayed much faster than rendered from scratch.

+
+In order for this tab to be visible, enable :ref:`Developer Extras <prefs-interface-dev-extras>`.

+Cache Settings
+==============
+
+.. admonition:: Reference

+
+   :Panel:     :menuselection:`Sidebar --> Cache --> Cache Settings`
+
+In this panel you can set up types of images that will be cached for all strips.
+
+Cache
+   Raw
+      Cache raw images read from drive, for faster tweaking of strip parameters at the cost of memory usage.
+   Pre-processed
+      Cache preprocessed images, for faster tweaking of effects at the cost of memory usage.
+   Composite
+      Cache intermediate composited images, for faster tweaking of stacked strips at the cost of memory usage.

+Strip Proxy & Timecode
+======================
+
+.. admonition:: Reference
+   :class: refbox
+
+   :Panel:     :menuselection:`Sidebar region --> Proxy & Timecode --> Strip Proxy & Timecode`
+
+.. figure:: /images/video-editing_sequencer_properties_proxy-cache_panel.png
+   :align: right
+
+
+Once you have chosen the :term:`Proxy`/:term:`Timecode` parameters,
+you need to select all strips for which you want proxies to be built.
+Then use :menuselection:`Strip --> Rebuild Proxy and Timecode indices`, or button in `Proxy Settings`_ panel.
+Once all proxies are built, they will be ready to use.
+
+In order to use proxies, you have to select matching :ref:`Proxy Render Size <proxy-render-size>`
+in Sequencer preview Sidebar panel.
+
+Custom Proxy
+   Directory
+      By default, all generated proxy images are storing to
+      the ``<path of original footage>/BL_proxy/<clip name>`` folder,
+      but this location can be set by hand using this option.
+   File
+      Allows you to use pre-existing proxies.
+
+Resolutions
+   Buttons to control how big the proxies are.
+   The available options are 25%, 50%, 75%, 100 percent of original strip size.
+
+Overwrite
+   Saves over any existing proxies in the proxy storage directory.
+
+Build JPEG Quality
+   Defines the quality of the JPEG images used for proxies.
+
+Timecode Index
+   When you are working with footage directly copied from a camera without pre-processing it,
+   there might be bunch of artifacts, mostly due to seeking a given frame in sequence.
+   This happens because such footage usually does not have correct frame rate values in their headers.
+   This issue can still arise when the source clip has the same frame rate as the scene settings.
+   In order for Blender to correctly calculate frames and frame rate there are two possible solutions:
+
+   #. Preprocess your video with e.g. MEncoder to repair the file header and insert the correct keyframes.
+   #. Use Proxy/Timecode option in Blender.
+
+   The following timecodes are supported:
+
+   - No TC in use -- do not use any timecode
+   - Record Run
+   - Free Run
+   - Free Run (rec date)
+   - Record Run No Gaps
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Record Run is the timecode which usually is best to use, but if the clip's file is totally damaged,
+      *Record Run No Gaps* will be the only chance of getting acceptable result.
