    Importing and using, sure.

    Apple, being the jealous kindergartners they are, just make sure you can't export in their toy. But DNxHR works perfectly well. And IS cross-platform.

    This blog post is titled "Why ProRes on Windows is Still Not a Good Option for Editors" but if you read it, you'll see it might have been better titled: "Why Finishing in ProRes on Windows is Still Not a Good Option for Editors":

    At the end of the post the author gives some suggestions for delivering in ProRes, if your client requires it.

    I think the author hits the nail on the head here.

    "You’d be better off with DNxHR or Cineform."

    I wish all camera makers would take that advice.  (Along with mine to drop QuickTime and use MXF exclusively.)
