ProRes Changes in Creative Cloud for Windows?
Does CC for Windows have native ProRes support? ProRes is listed among the formats in the “Expanded Native Format Support” piece on the Adobe website, but I’ve heard two different things from sales reps. Does CC on a Windows machine handle ProRes any differently than CS6 on a Windows machine? Is it different on a Mac?

You cannot render, encode or export to ProRes on a Windows machine. That’s an Apple licensing restriction.

You cant export via Adobe but you can export via some transcoders such as Cinec.

You can if you use Debugmode Frameserver, AviSynth and FFMPG.

Of course, these are all hacks and NOT sanctioned, supported or licensed by Apple. To my knowledge the only approved encoding of ProRes on Windows is Telestream’s implementation in networked environments, where Windows servers might be used for distributed encoding.
Regarding Premiere, I believe there’s no problem in reading ProRes files if the Windows components are installed; but for encoding, mastering, rendering, use Avid DNxHD.

Thanks. So there’s no difference between CS6 and CC for Windows, then. Adobe’s marketing on this is clear as mud. Is native DNxHD support new in Creative Cloud? We use Atomos Ronon recorders that can be upgraded to record in DNxHD. Perhaps we should consider that. We’re editing ProRes in CS6 now, but I was hoping for improvements in CC.

DNxHD is great to use on WIN or MAC.

I would think there is a MASSIVE difference.
There certainly is in the mac version.
more features
less buggyness etc..Things just work better in CC.

I’m sure there are differences. I meant differences with ProRes support.

For ProRes support, no.
On Mac, there is a difference — ProRes decoding is 64-bit on OS X 10.8 and higher.

MXF-wrapped DNxHD support is new in CC.
