Submitting video to Adobe Stock

Question

I want to submit 4K video for stock. The only accepted format 4K/UHD codec is ProRes, an apple only codec. I use Adobe's Premiere Pro on Windows 10. PP and media encoder do not support ProRes on Windows.

Does this mean I cannot submit 4K video unless I purchase an Apple workstation to encode it?

Or am I misunderstanding?

Please review the upload specifications for video including information on acceptable codec here: Requirements for contributing video to Adobe Stock

Hey Mat,Thanks for responding, Perhaps I did a poor job of communicating my concern:The Doc you mention was what I was referencing when I asked the question. I read it over a few times since I was incredulous that Adobe would so limiting. And that Adobe's own products, Premiere Pro & Media Encoder, would be unable to produce ProRes on the OS with, by far, the largest installed base.I know that Apple aggressively protects ProRes to the point that any software maker that produces a solution to output ProRes on a Windows machine is lawyer-ed into oblivion.I'm asking why Adobe doesn't accept a 4K format that can be produced without an OSX workstation? Getty prefers ProRes but accepts other 4K formats. Perhaps I am misreading the Doc you mention: That's why I'm asking for clarification. I've been an Adobe user (customer) since the early 90's, and a stockholder as well, I'm trying to understand why Adobe Stock is shooting itself in the foot. Or?
