  Need to export Prores444 UHD wt 8 audio channels

  Posted by Chris Coote on May 19, 2015 at 3:58 pm

  Hi

  I am working at 3840×2160 in Avid. I need to deliver Prores444 with 8 discreet audio channels.
  As far as I know, I can’t do this directly out of Avid? In testing, my workaround is export same as source
  to DNXHRX with 8 discreet channels and then open the file in QT – re-export to Prores444.
  Is this the best/only way to do this?
  Thanks

  Chris

  Direct out is greyed out in the audio settings unless you do a same as source or reference movie.
  You can’t do a mixdown to prores in the avid in UHD resolution, only in HD.
  Unless there is some other way I am missing?…

  Not in front of a system to test, but if you switch the color space to RGB, does ProRes become a media creation option in a UHD project?
