Cannot change audio output from Uncompressed

[semaj4712]

I am trying to ouput ProRes422(HQ) Files form Premiere.  Regardless of using Media Encoder or Premiere Export I am not able to change the Audio Codec.  It is stuck on Uncompressed.  Since ProRes wants AAC Audio, it fails the export everytime.  It will not allow me to change to AAC Audio.

I am in Premiere Pro CC 2018, I have not tried another machine to see if the problem persists but I will try that as soon as I get home, to try on my Laptop.

Uncompressed is the norm for ProRes.

ProRes makes large files, and does so because it uses a lot less compression than many other codecs. That's the purpose, to get high quality results and limit compression. As audio takes up far less space than video in the first place, would not make sense to compress the audio (reduce quality) when you already have such a large file due to light compression on the video. Counterproductive.

Thanks

In Premiere/AME, if you export ProRes422HQ, you can only have uncompressed audio.
