I have FCP 5 and I was given the ProRes Codec by a friend. I dragged it into my folder and am now able to both import ProRes file as well as export a ProRes file with no problems.
I was afraid of that, Todd. I’ve used the Pro35 Adaptor many times, but never digi primes. I’ll be shooting in Kenya near the Serengeti and wanted to avoid the potential of the Pro35 Adaptor failing in the middle of nowhere, then have the PL mount primes sitting in a case useless. I hadn’t thought much about the fact that it’s not a failure of digi primes themselves…but the issue with the small chip size.
I had misinterpreted your comment about the lack of 35mm-like depth-of-field. That’s a shame it’s not comparable. That is, for me anyway, what makes the primes so desirable. Would you say it’s significant difference?
