  ProRes422 Workflow

  Posted by Evan Seitz on October 29, 2010 at 1:53 pm

  I need a bit of information on a professional level work flow. If a client is using a 7D or even a RED, etc. – is it normal to bring those files into After Effects and convert them immediately to ProRes422? Do real documentaries export their final product as ProRes422 or do you need to keep a lossless version as well that you hide in the timeline below the ProRes replica the entire time (and then just unhide when you’re ready to do the final export)?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  For RED, I’d use a direct R3D workflow and render to whatever format is preferred in the rest of the pipeline (ProRes 4444, DPX, etc.).
