ProRes codecs on machine without FCP
I thought I had read somewhere that installing AppleQmasterNode.mpkg on the FCP install disk will give me access to read the ProRes codecs without having FCP installed on the machine.
Is this true?

Not sure about that. You can get a DECODER on a machine without FCP, but not an ENCODER. QT 7.6 on Mac and PC has a built in decoder, so it will see ProRes files. IF you don’t have that version, then you need to install the Decoders from Apple:

It is against the license agreement to install an Encoder on a machine without FCP…FYI.

I believe the latest version of QuickTime has the pro res read only codec built in. No additional software necessary

I think John is right.
At least in PCs you don’t need any more the additional free reader.

ProRes seems to be supported now.
