Can ProRes 4:2:2 HQ QT be used on a Windows7 PC with CS5?

Question

Gents, I know little about ProRes, other than it is loved by the MAC. Well, I don't have a MAC. I have a PC. But can I use ProRes 4:2:2 HQ QT in editing on a PC?

Here is the deal, I am shooting a wedding in April and the company I want to use for the 8mm scans can provide ProRes 4:2:2 HQ QT or High Def. Blackmagic 8 bit. Blackmagic is HUGE so thats out. But ProRes/ Can Premiere Pro handle it?

Half the footage will be High Definition from a DSLR camera so using that, plus ProRes would obviously be a mix and mixing is not ideal.

Forgive me for asking. I have researched this, but am unclear and would appreciate some assistance.

You can edit Prores HQ or Prores422 or Prores LT in Premiere (assuming a suitably empowered system.)

HQ is probably excessive for your needs.

422 is more than adequate

and LT would do the job fine.

They are just different datarates.

lasvideo is telling you that you can not encode to Prores from a PC but thats not an issue in your case.

FWIW : It is actually possible to export Prores from a Windows PC. ( another story)

Yes, you can only playback Prores on PC.http://support.apple.com/downloads/Apple_ProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_for_Windows
