Getting the ProRes Codec
Is buying Final Cut Pro the only way to get the ProRes codec?
Or by chance is Final Cut Express and Quicktime Pro enough?
Or by chance is there a secret codec somewhere that you can download? -

The only way to get it is to have the Final Cut Studio 2 install discs… it only comes on there.

That’s a shame. Avid provides free access to their codecs – we make extensive use of that to get footage into other apps like AE. Would like to do the same with FCP and ProRes – but seems unlikely, especially as most of our systems are Windows…

Here’s a pair of fairly recent blog posts that I bookmarked on the same topic-

If you own the software and just need it on another machine, you can install the Qmaster (net render) package to get dvcpro/hd and prores.

But how do you get it on a PC?

Jeff this thread is a year old back then it was not posible.
There is no reason to reopen a one year old dead post.
There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.

I respectfully disagree Mr. Barker. If someone has this same issue in the future they might at least stumble upon this post. I did, and it just save me quite a bit of time.
