Body: <p>I am trying to edit some 4K clips in Kdenlive and so I would like to use the <a href="https://kdenlive.org/en/project/kdenlive-proxy-clips/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">proxy clips</a> feature to speed up editing experience.</p>
  <p>I have enabled the feature by default:</p>

  <p>I've also checked that it is enabled for the project:</p>

  <p>However, it does not look like any proxy clips are actually generated — neither when I add clips to the Project Bin, nor when I later drag them onto the timeline. Monitor navigation is still as slow as without the proxy feature enabled. Neither I can see any proxy clips on the disk in the project cache folder.</p>
  <p>How to get the proxies to work?</p>

  <li>Kdenlive 20.12.3</li>

  I am trying to edit some 4K clips in Kdenlive and so I would like to use the [proxy clips](https://kdenlive.org/en/project/kdenlive-proxy-clips/) feature to speed up editing experience.
  
  I have enabled the feature by default:

  I've also checked that it is enabled for the project:
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/RbMSd.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/RbMSd.png)
  
  However, it does not look like any proxy clips are actually generated — neither when I add clips to the Project Bin, nor when I later drag them onto the timeline. Monitor navigation is still as slow as without the proxy feature enabled. Neither I can see any proxy clips on the disk in the project cache folder.
  
  How to get the proxies to work?
  
  * Kdenlive 20.12.3
  * MLT 6.24.0
  * OS: PureOS Byzantium

  You need to also tick the checkbox `[x] Generate for videos larger than` and set a suitable size.
