no prores output ??

[Joseph W. bourke]

Apple kept Prores under very tight control, only allowing its format to be output by a handful of manufacturers hardware. As a result of this, you’ll only find the capability to read Prores formats in AE and PPro, but not to output them. If you do a search on Prores in these forums, you’ll find a list of the hardware which does output to Prores.

And that said, if you don’t mind going under the hood a bit, you can get Prores output from FFMPEG:

https://ffmpeg.org/

It just takes a bit of work, and I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure there’s someone in this forum who has.

not sure about AE….

for PPro…you might need to jump into AME and set it up there first….

then it should be available in PPRo…

Is ProRes not available in the export settings under “QuickTime”? You may have to access the codec from the video tab in the exporter panel, but AFAIK, installing FCPX, or even Motion should put the ProRes encoder on a Mac.

It is limited to read only on Windows.

Well, i just installed FCPX and there’s is no Prores export in PP and AE.

How do you know this? Can you walk us through the steps you’re taking?

Have you found all he rest of the QuickTime codecs?

FCPX is built on the AV Foundation framework, not QuickTime. The FCPX installer does not include the QuickTime versions of the ProRes codecs.

To use ProRes in Ae/Pr/AME/etc., download the QuickTime codecs here:

Good info Walter…does Motion install the legacy codec?

This sheltering of ProRes by Apple is getting even more frustrating than it has been in the past.

Motion will install the Prores codec and it will be available to other QT apps.
