Mixing ProRes 422 & 4444 in same sequence?
Would mixing these two codec family members in the same project produce RT complications? I’d like to use 4444 only when an alpha channel’s needed, and 422 for everything else.

Hi Ross,
I haven’t tried that yet because I’m still with FC6,but, instead of asking I would make a simple test with my own system.
Cheers,

No problem. ProRes 444 with alpha plays in real time in all flavors of ProRes sequences on my system.

No, that is how the codec was designed, so that you could use 4444 when necessary then ditch the rest.

2K and 1080p seem to be fine with graded ProRes 4444 Red originated footage and older ProRes b-roll

set it to the codec that matches the largest amount of footage that will be in your timeline
