!VERY URGENT! ProRes to PC
Got some video in ProRes 422 (1920x1080) - is there any software running on PC that can read and transcode this to anything editable on PC? I would like to avoid borrowing a Mac.
I need to start editing right away, please help. Thanks, Last edited by Ervin Farkas; July 22nd, 2008 at 06:55 PM. |

Thanks to Apple, ProRes is Apple only. No dice on a PC.
If you want to send this to a PC user, I recommend writing to lossless PNG.

Thanks guys
I knew ProRes is Apple's baby, but I was hoping they made the codec available for us Windows users. I am mad with this guy who sent me the files; I told him specifically I am on PC and I will be editing SD... he could have exported from FCP to a bunch of QT formats that a PC can work with, like MJPEG, Animation, or even AVI.
Thanks for the info; I have no choice but to borrow a friend's MacBook. ARGH! |

Unless that Macbook has Final Cut Pro on it you still will not have the codec.

Back to square one - any progress on this?
Ah, the royal pain... (quote from Peronne)... It's almost eight months later now... any progress on this?
I have, yes, again, a bunch of shows I have to edit on PC - and, yes, again, the wonderful "open platform" Apple product, Prores 422. Don't we all love it... |

If you download the lastest version of quicktime on your PC, you should be able to drop your files into your editor. You can't OUTPUT to ProRes, but you should be able to read and edit them.

Wonderful, thanks Peronne. Are you talking about the PRO version or the free one?
Is this something they just implemented in version 7.6? I have version 7.50.61.0 - came with Edius 5 and will NOT play 422. |

Nope, don't need Pro.
You can download the decoder here: Apple - Downloads - Application Updates - Apple ProRes QuickTime Decoder 1.0 for Windows Or just download the latest version of Quicktime and you're all set. It even works with ProResHQ. I've dropped both into Vegas in the past 30 days without issue.

This is by far the best news I got in quite a while.
I chose the safe route and downloaded the PRORES update instead of the new QuickTime, and it works as expected. Both Edius and Procoder can now read PRORES 422 - I already transcoded a one hour file overnight to NTSC. |

Yes, A major step forward in interoperability. Just wish it hadn't taken Apple two dang years to do it. And we still can't write it to give files back... I guess they WANT to give business to Avid.
