Exporting ProRES 422 on Premiere Pro - Windows

Hi,

I am going to shoot a video on a Blackmagic camera (ProRes 422) and edit on a Windows. I suppose I won't need to transcode the files to edit.

When it comes down to the exporting, the client wants a ProRes 422 HQ but I understand you can't do that on a PC.

Is there another way of doing it?

Alternatively, what other format could I export that is close to what ProRes 422 is?

    FYI, ProRes encoding on Windows has been added to the Premiere Pro (and Media Encoder) 13.0.2 update that was posted last night.

    Apple ProRes support: With the latest Adobe updates, export presets for Apple ProRes, including ProRes 4444 and ProRes 422 formats are available within Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder on both macOS and Windows 10.

    Premiere Pro CC isn't giving me the option to export to Pro Res. It's not in the drop-down menu. I've got the latest version. Any ideas?

    It's in the QuickTime format list, several of the Codec options if you select QuickTime as the format. It's not a separate format option.

    Yes, I saw thought from screenshots I’ve found posted. However, even with QT selected, the Pro Res preset is not there for me.

      There's a few ffmpeg based solutions that will spit our ProRes from windows now in Premiere.  My current fav is AfterCodecs:

      Cineform and DNX are visually on par with ProRes.  Cineform may offer better file sizes for the same quality.  DNx has the advantage of being available in the MXF container, whereas Cineform is stuck in the QuickTime bog.

        The cross-platform equivalent of ProRes (Apple being a bunch of jealous kindergartners) is as mentioned, DNxHD/R, and to match the ProRes 422 is I think the HQ flavor of the DNx format.

        I've seen some test results ... the Avid DNx format is a bit newer than ProRes, and in high-tech testing is slightly more accurate and efficient ... each by a hundredth of a percentage point kind of thing. You're not going to be able to see the differences.

        PrPro on Win10 can handle the ProRes files just fine. Thanks to Apple, you just can't export to ProRes.

        There have been several unofficial programs that enable you to render ProRes on Windows, but I'm not sure what is still around, or what is reliable (or even legal). Perhaps someone else knows more about the current state of this and can chime in. I'm interested to know that as well.

        As far as something close to ProRes, the one hat I usually use most of the time for my intermediate files is DNxHD or DNxHR (Avid's format) in a .MXF container.

        It usually comes in similar flavors to ProRes, and the quality is very close. Premiere uses it natively I believe, but if they're using Final Cut or something else that is not Premiere pro/ Media Composer, it may require transcoding for them.

        The only annoying bit is there are many different options for it and usually require you to choose an option that matches frame rate. DNxHR is a bit newer and may eliminate some of that, but I generally just use presets I've made for different resolutions/frame rates. .
