PRORES codec PC
SPACEMAN has prores codec on his PC,
however in AFX (or Premier) has no export option for prores.
Is SPACEMAN missing something simple? -

ProRes on the PC is read-only.

Export to uncompressed and then run it through FFMPEG or FFMBC (both commandline video encoders). It’s the only way to encode ProRes on a PC besides Telestream’s more expensive professional options.

Dave, Angelo’s right in that Telestream’s Episode does provide ProRes output on the PC. The downside is that there is no direct link between AE/PPro and Episode. So there will be an interim CODEC used when rendering out from AE/PPro/AME.

[Roland R. Kahlenberg] “Dave, Angelo’s right in that Telestream’s Episode does provide ProRes output on the PC.”
Some clarification:
Episode does not encode ProRes on PC.
Episode Engine on Windows Server 2008 does — but that’s more expensive than buying a Mac for nothing but ProRes encodes.
FFMPEG aside, there is no PC desktop ProRes encode solution.

Thanks for clearing that up Walter. I checked my copy of Episode and saw the ProRes encoder. It is only when submitting a render, which I had not done earlier, that the warning on ProRes support shows up.

I agree, as an alternate DNxHD is an awesome codec to use… it’s always just convincing the editor to use it. Then Final Cut 7 doesn’t exactly like mixing ProRes and DNxHD in one timeline, at least without wanting to render one or the other.
