I edited a video on a mac with adobe premiere pro. It's in pro res format. I am collaborating with someone on the project and this other person wants to load my project on windows 10. The project opens but it gives an error about how prores isn't supported. I believe it should work. What can I do?

Correct answer Vidya Sagar

Hi Bryced,

What is the version of Premiere Pro in Windows 10?

Native support for reading Prores is a new feature which is available only with latest versions of Premiere Pro CC.

Thanks,

Vidya Sagar.

Why are you wasting your time, prores sucks. Move on to a more compatible platform and codec dump the mac, apple hates you all.

Im assuming that the compatibility with Prores codecs is with the operating system (works on OSX but not windows) or what if you run a MAC Pro with windows 10 can you encode from prores422 to Prores LT or proxy?......

I would love to archive video footage from 422 to LT for example.

On my Windows machine I usually shoot in prores 422 and archive in DNxHD or HR which I find to work well. DNxHR is great where even the highest 4k bitrate H.264 sucks! Thinking of going to cineform for windows archiving.

A company called Bigasoft makes a program ($37 but found for $18 with online coupon) that converts almost anything (ex. DNxHD) to Prores 444 and 422 so you still have only options for large file formats. I wrote them to ask to make other prores formats (prores LT and proxy). Cinemartin makes one for all formats and also a plug in for premier pro but its $600-$1000. Rediculous!

Think Im gonna buy a used Mac pro just for converting to the Lighter prores formats in Premier but still use the beastly PC for main editing and use a portable SSD.

Any thoughts.......

Thinking of going to cineform for windows archiving.

I think that's the best quality/size option available at the moment.

Why is it possible to export prores out of Kolor AutoPano Video Pro? I do VR and export everything in prores but in Premiere 2017 it is not possibl to export my edited timeline in prores way?

I'm using windows 10 pro.

It looks like for your around 700 euros, the company (GoPro/Auto pano whatever it is) bought a license for encoding in ProRes on a PC. Apple is a jealous kindergartner in basic attitude. You may note that there is no other company that I know of shipping ProRes licenses for PC's at the moment.

Why would a little company buy a license to export prores. and the big Adobe company is not buying this license For windows? They bought it for mas.

This is just not understandable!

so what's better? Cineform or DNXHD? I heard there was different versions of DNXHD

There are pros and cons to both.

Cineform is a Constant Quality codec, which I tend to prefer. This means that if the material only needs 10 bits, it won't use 20 and pad the file. If it needs 30 bits, it won't be capped at 20 and thus reduce quality. CQ codecs are the best. But, Cineform files come out as QuickTime only.

DNx (both HD and HR) comes in the preferable MXF container, and suffers none of the issues the QuickTime container has caused over the years. But, it's a constant bitrate codec only.

The ideal scene here, the perfect solution, would be Cineform in the MXF container. Please let Adobe know you want that.

Is that a screen-grab of your current codec list, or of a previous one or "borrowed" someplace?

What I'm trying to figure out is if you have the Miraizon codecs on your computer. From reading the material on their site, although the sales of this have ended, if you have the codecs installed (as that screen grab shows) then to use them you should only need to have the QuickTime basic package installed on your PC, and you can install that without installing the QuickTime Player, which should be avoided on PC's now for security issues.

If you don't already have those, "Miraizon sales have ended" as it says on their site, and the ProRes licensed for new buyers is not available.

I checked the Telestream "Switch" product mentioned above, and after reading through a number of screens, found this comment about ProRes exporting: "ProRes export on Windows is ProRes HQ 4:2:2 for iTunes only."

I don't know of any other way to license ProRes on PC's. Apple is a rather jealous kindergartener ...
