no prores output ??

[Tim Kolb] “Good info Walter…does Motion install the legacy codec”

I’m not sure. Motion 5 and FCPX do share a common rendering engine, so it’d certainly be plausible that the same QT codec issue would be there.

[Tim Kolb] “This sheltering of ProRes by Apple is getting even more frustrating than it has been in the past.”

Indeed. I’m looking forward to the emergence of an alternative.

I agree. An alternative to prores is clearly needed – hopefully just in time for CS6.5? Although Avid DnxHD exists – it still relies on a quicktime wrapper which is a bit of a pain when working with Windows OS machines. I hope Adobe comes up with a codec that is both smooth for Windows and Mac – preferably a different container.

Are you aware of MXF OP1a AVC-I 100? Its a standard for European broadcasters and its similar to Prores / DNxHD in that its very clean and makes reasonably sized files. You do need the VLC Player (Free) in order to view it. Ive switched to it as my mastering and intermediary (exprting from AE) codec). It renders out of PrP about 2X faster then the other 2.
