ProRes Bitrate limited

We are exporting to ProRes through AME. Unfortunately the bitrate is limited to 1.000 kbps and the option to change it is disabled...
 
Any ideas? 🙂 Thanks!

Have you tried exporting and looking at the results? The bit rate isn't limited to 1 Mbps for ProRes, that option is just disabled. ProRes is a variable bit rate (VBR) codec, but each "flavor" has its own max bit rate. Check out page 12 of the ProRes white paper to see how these bit rates compare: https://www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Apple_ProRes_White_Paper.pdf
