Prores Export on Win as easy as on Mac. Simply hit export.

[Michael Phillips]

I don’t see why they need to offer a Mac version of either codec or a Windows version of DNxHD, but it is nice to have ProRes encoding on Windows. Are you an actual user and you’ve had no issues?

Agreed, not sure why there is a Mac version or why DnxHD is included. And yes, bought it and it works flawless.

Just purchased a license and installed ProRes only on my Windows system. VC3 is the SMPTE name for DNxHD and using the term DNxHD needs to be licensed, but that is another matter. The same reason that it is called “Miraizon Pro Res” in the export settings.

But that being said, I exported several flavors of Miraizon ProRes as 422, 444, LT, etc. It may be my system as it was not the fastest encode, but all cores were active but never more than 40%.

Also, some applications can see it, and other not at this time. AS long as the application uses the MoviePlayer codec selection it is available. I tested with MPEG Streamclip, Redcine X Pro, QT Pro, and Media Composer, and was able to create the files. I was not able to export using DaVinci Resolve as it does not see the codec. That is something I will bring up with them.

All in all, naming aside, it’s a ProRes file and it’s nice being able to create such a file on Windows and worth the $49.

The big question is whether this is in spec, according to Apple. If you open the file under Mavericks in QT X and it starts its “converting” routine, then it is not a totally compliant Pro Res encode.

Works without problems on a Mavericks machine.

Has anyone used this and knows whether the codecs will show up in Adobe Media Encoder? I pored over the site and support documentation, and it’s not mentioned anywhere.

Also, why should you have to pay for the AVID DNxHD codecs? Are they not free from the AVID website? Thanks…

Just tried it and yes, it works just fine in AME.

Has anyone tried to load this on a KiPro for playback?

[Frank Gothmann]

Can give it a shot. Any specific size/frame rate you want me to try?

The official, free Avid DNxHD QuickTime codec is pretty ghastly — it’s prone to weird artifacting in highlights at 10b, and its range is somewhat inconsistently read by other applications. I’d be curious to do some testing to see if Miraizon’s implementation is better.
