# Swap the asset stream between lo-res (proxy) and hi-res

Had you previously connected assets from Curator to your Adobe project to stream and edit in Hi-Res format, you may want to later switch to streaming the lo-res (proxy) version in your Adobe project should, for example, your connectivity speed/environment change. Learn how to swap between lo-res and hi-res without checking the production in and out again.

#### How to swap the asset stream between lo-res and hi-res

1. With assets previously connected to your Adobe project from Curator, navigate to menu ‘Connect > Swap to’ in the [Adobe panel](/docs/adobe-panel-explained) ![connecting assets 1.png](https://cdn.document360.io/c173e68f-0609-4297-9277-0fc5c6b45db7/Images/Documentation/connecting%20assets%201.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-05T20%3A37%3A17Z&se=2026-11-05T21%3A37%3A17Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=667sBb7yF3i%2BcwY5WNcw3pUFiLnwpVgCtNcYwHvJYGI%3D)
2. A submission form will open
  1. Select what you want to swap from Curator

1. Select ‘Swap’ to confirm. Otherwise, ‘Cancel’

> **Curator 4.4 and later:** if you have manually scaled a proxy clip in a sequence (with **Scale to frame size** turned off), the scaling is kept when you swap to hi-res, provided the asset has MediaInfo Video Width and Height metadata.
