Apple Pro Res 4444, does it work with FCP 6?

Does ProRes 4444 work with FCP 6? I don't think so but wanted to check before I had the film lab telecine my film. I'm stuck with FCP 6. Might have to go with ProRes 422 (HQ) ?

Are you 100% sure that you can write to ProRes 4444 files in QT 7.6.2? I would have thought you'd need FCS3 for that.
See, I knew the editing gods would humble me.
I just re-tested this on a separate FCS 2 partition and it turns out my memory was failing. While you can read and import the new ProRes codecs, you can cannot render out to them in the FCP 6 + QT 7.6.2 universe. So yeah, getting all ProRes4444 files would be a hassle on an FCP 6 setup.
Ugh, sorry for the bad steer.

  • Fcp forces me to render Apple Pro Res 4444 files when i drop on timeline

    i shoot with the canon 5d mark ii and i have been having problems making my videos easy to edit. I convert them from h.264 to the apple pro res 4444. when i take the files and then attempt to drag them into the project timeline, i am prompted to change the settings to match that of the video format. when i select no, all of the files require me to render before playback. when i select yes, i always get dropped frames and the video stalls and fails to play. selecting no and rendering is not time efficient at all and i know there is a better way to do this. any help or suggestions? i'm clearly doing something wrong.

    Hi -
    While it may seem counterintuitive, transcoding to a ultra-high quality, specialized format like ProRes 4444 actually, in most cases, counter productive.
    Converting your h.264 files to ProRes 4444 is like buying size 26 shoes for size 9 feet. Apple ProRes 4444 is there for specialized use by people editing large frame size images +WITH an alpha channel for each frame+. To properly play it back will require both a high horsepower computer and high speed disk drive array to support the data rate involved in that format.
    May I make a suggestion? I would be to convert your h.264 material to Pro Res 422. Even ProRes HQ is beyond what you need to handle your material correctly.
    When you convert your files to ProRes 422, and allow FCP to set the sequence to the same settings, you will find that you will be able to edit without rendering. And don't worry - the quality of your image is set by the h.264 compression, the conversion to Pro Res 422 will not degrade it.
    A frequent example given on these boards: if you take a can of beer, and pour it in a keg, you still have just a can of beer, but it is harder to carry around - and the keg certainly takes up more space.
    There is a very useful White Paper written by Apple that describes the various flavors of ProRes and their correct application at:

  • Apple A/V adapter does't work with SONY TV

    I connected my iPad 2 to a newer SONY TV using Apple's A/V 30 pin connector via HDMI and the TV does not see a signal.

    Did it work before?  Does it work with a different TV/projector?  Did it work with ios 7.x?
    Anyway,  with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables.  You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware.  There is a little chip in the a/v cable. 
    go to the apple store.  Buy a new cable.  Verify the cable works in the store.

    If that doesn't free Share up I'd drag app to trash, reinstall it and run repair permissions again.

  • Sonnet pro express card does not work with lion 7.3.4 warning

    After upgrading to Lion 7.3.4 my volumes attached via a Sonnet Express Pro 34 card via SATA no longer mount.
    I have the current driver from Sonnet 2.2.8
    The volumes appear in Disk Utility, AND pass both the disk verify and repair
    However, attempts to mount the volumes result in a message from Disk Utility to attempt repairing the disk

    Tried deinstalling and reinstalling the Sonnet driver. Doesn't help.
    Really odd that the drives will readly pass Disk Utility's first aid checks and repairs, spin up and down under Disk Utility, but simply won't mount.
    Revereted back to 10.7.3 and now back on line.
    Hopefully Sonnet will create a fix, but wow, could be Lion 10.7.4's fault given that the underlying drive structure looks sound to Disk Utility (even under 10.7.4).  Lion 10.7.4 dislikes something about the Sonnet Tempo Pro Expresscard/34 sata connected drives.

  • Apple Pro Res "Render at Maximum Depth"

    From my understanding, Apple Pro Res maxes out at 12 bit with DSLR cameras in movie mode not even reaching that. Yet, the setting for "Render at Maximum Depth" offers 24 to 64 bit. Anyone know what the story is with this setting?
    And does anyone know the settings for Apple Pro Res 4444 at its highest quality when coming from H.264?
    Thanks.

    A question for you - what is your workflow where you think you might need this? Keep in mind that the majority of cameras only record 8-bit color, and also in a very highly compressed format, so you won't necessarily gain anything by going to 4444, as the source video is of limited quality already.
    Basically, if you don't have any high-bit-depth sources in your timeline to preserve the quality of, there may be little or no benefit to enabling "Max Depth".

  • Apple Pro Res 64-bit Encoding

    I've looked everywhere and tried everything...
    https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new-7-1.html
    At the bottom, under "support for new camera formats", there is a section regarding support for  "Apple ProRes 64-bit" as a new camera codec. I looked everywhere in Media Encoder and the only thing with a "64" in the Apple Pro Res Codecs is under Apple Pro Res 4444 in the "Maximum Bit Depth". However, this option was already available so that 's not what Adobe could be reffering to... I understand that there is support to utilze the 64 bit capabilities to quicken the transcoding process but does anybody know anything about a new Pro Res Codec at 64-bit? Where it is? What it entails?
    Anything at all would be awesome. Thanks.
    -Dimitri

    Hi Dimitri,
    It's 64 bit as in it uses a 64 bit process on a Mac. It does not refer to 64 bit depth. The only and main difference is that encoding ProRes is going to be faster now.

  • Pro Res 4444 to Pro Res 422

    I have Pro Res 4444 footage that I want to edit in FCS for the web.  My understanding is that it would be better to work in Pro Res 422 (easier to work with etc).  Would it make sense to import the Pro Res 4444 in FC and used compressor to export it to a Pro Res 422 format?  Or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Take the footage directly into Compressor and convert to 422.  No reason to go to FCP first.  OR...better yet. With the footage in FCP, use the media Manager to RECOMPRESS to PR422.

  • Will FCE 3.5 work with Apple pro-res source Quicktimes?

    A buddy is supplying some footage he shot. He's importing into FCPro and outputting Apple pro-res quicktimes which he's then dumping to a drive for me. I'm curious if I'll be able to work with them in FCE3.5.

    No, you won't. The ProRes component only comes with Final Cut Studio and Logic. Have the friend import using an Apple Intermediate Codec setting instead of ProRes, because FCE will work with that.

  • Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

  • APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

    APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
    I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

    It started working.....!!!!!  (It seems someone back there is listening)
    I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
    I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
    TIPS:
    I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
    I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
    My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
    good luck!!
