Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you very much for the quick response. To confirm, you’re saying all of the movies created from the above commands should indeed be in ProRes422 format? Here is the output of ffprobe for two of the resulting movies. Note that in both cases it says encoder : Lavc56.60.100 prores.
