  Workflow with Prores and PC

  Posted by Mónica Calderón on February 4, 2012 at 3:22 am

  Hello,

  I have an AE project with ProRes footage made on a Mac. My illustrator and animator has a PC. He can’t see the footage. How can we make it work? We have a tight deadline for the project. Thanks.

  I think they just need to install the latest free version of quicktime player. It should be able to play prores-encoded files. Or do an encode of everything with the Animation codec, or even as an image sequence (the most reliable method IMO, but you’ll have to re-encode everything). But the QT should really work, esp if you’re using AE on both machines!

  You can get the ProRes codec for PC’s from Apple. You can’t render in ProRes from a PC, but you will be able to read it.
