19. Switch Proxy Mode on and off. Now, when you enable and disable Proxy Mode,
you actually switch between two file sequences on the disk.
You now need to do the same for the right view, or Read2. You can use the same
Write node—just move its input and change some settings.
20. Grab the output side of the pipe connecting Read1 to Write1 and move it to
Read2.
21. In Write1's Properties panel, change the proxy file name in the Proxy field so in-
stead of “left” it says “right” ( FIGURE 8.30 ) .
Figure 8.30. It's easy to change the name of the proxy file simply by editing
the text itself.

23. Click the Render button.

24. Click OK.
When this render finishes, you will have pre-rendered proxy files for both views.
You need to tell Read2 to use the files you just generated.
