ProRes in CS6 – not happy?
I’m trying to read ProRes files (from an Aja KiPro) in CS6 on a Windows 64bit machine. No matter what I try, I can’t get Premiere to recognize the codec and read the files. (Error message: Unsupported format or damaged file) I tried uninstalling Quicktime, rolled it back to an earlier version 7.3.1 and reinstalled the ProRes decoder. No luck. I know the files are good because I read them on my other machine…which unfortunately is on its way to the repair shop to replace a display…
Any suggestions? -

I am on a Mac and it works fine. BUT I had Final Cut 7 on this Machine and hence all the codecs….
ProRes Codecs live with Quicktime, not Premiere. If you can’t open it in Quicktime, you can’t open it in Premiere.
A Windows machine would not come with ProRes codecs. They come from Apple. So I would
a) try looking on Apple’s site to download and install codecs. Google “Windows ProRes Codecs” etc… You may need to be a Quicktime Pro package or pay for the codec (~$20 ish). You install codecs by dragging them into a Quicktime Extensions folder burried on the PC, not through Premiere…
b) my book says on labs.adobe.com there are some pre-sets Adobe made for ProRes, try that.
c) work in Premiere on any Mac that had Final Cut on it.

I’ve not had any issues playing ProRes clips in CS6 on the PC, and in fact have NOT had to do any special codec installs. If QuickTime is installed, you should automatically have ProRes support. Make sure Premiere is updated to latest, might be a bug fix.

On PC you need both Quicktime (maybe Pro)
You also need to find the Apple ProRes Decoder to get it to work within Premier
I have not looked it up in quite a while but I think this was it.https://support.apple.com/downloads/Apple_ProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_for_Windows
