Exporting Pro Res 422 HQ

I have a customer that wants his output files to be delivered as a Pro Res 422 HQ .MOV file.
I have given him every possible output for Quicktime that is available in the Media Encoder for PPro5 and he has rejected every one
He refuses to even look at any file that is NOT in a .MOV container.
Does CS6 include Pro Rez outputs?  Is there an aftermarket transcoder or plug-in that can do the job?  Any help?

Hi Dave,
but the "hardware recorder" have a valid licence - for sure they don't use the Apple SDK because there is no MAC OS to run it on ;-)
"The group behind FFMBC have reverse-engineered the codec themselves, which places them at risk of legal action (particularly in the USA where software patents apply)."
If you plan to incorporate this into 2000 NLE's or plan to sell software with Prores support you better get a licence.
If you are a individual or small company using ffmpeg to render some Prores files...
If you just live you are placed at risk of legal action esp. if software patents apply.
"Adobe certainly isn't about to engage in that type of thing."
How does this help? What is adobe about to engage? Are they offering a solution to the problem or do they only don't suggest the passengers of the Titanic to take a liveboat because there isn't a captain on board to ensure secure operation?
Lot's of questions and still not a good answer for Premiere on Windows users to export Prores...

  • No option for export pro res 422 from after effects cs6

    There is no option for export prores 422 from after effects cs6 on new mac os 10.8.2 shows up and works on older mac 10.6.8
    How can I get this option back?

    I will guess that you used to have Final Cut Pro, but you no longer have it.  Generally, only machines with Final Cut Pro installed are able to write to ProRes 422. 
    There are third-party codec packages that do write to the ProRes family of codecs.  They have been discussed in this forum, and you could search for their names.  I'm sorry to say that I don't remember them.

  • Exporting a DV PAL Timeline as Apple Pro Res 422.......Any Advantages????

    Hello
    Apart from the file space you save are there any quality advantages in exporting a DV PAL sequence to Pro Res 422? Some of my students are convinced that it looks better and plays better on their monitors.
    I'm thinking that their final output will be DVD so will DVD Studio Pro allow you to import Pro Res 422? Is there any point being that the final sequence is going to be re-encoded to MPEG?
    I'm yet to test things myself so any pointer would be great.
    One particular student says that their QT sequence looks grainy in QT player where as Pro Res looks GREAT!!!
    Thanks

    QT plays DV files at low quality by default. You can change it to high quality playback in movie properties: Apple + J.
    You will not *add quality* transcoding the movie from one format to another. For DVD use you'll get the most of the quality exporting to MPEG2 using Compressor directly from your timeline with any extra transcoding in the middle.
    Hope that helps !

  • Export to quicktime audio out of sync Apple Pro Res 422

    hello forum!
    In a tizz as have an film due tomorrow but when I export to quicktime from final cut 7, the audio is out of sync...
    I've scoured the forums and lots of other people seem to have this problem when using H264, however I converted to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT) before pulling files into final cut, plus all of the sequence and final cut settings (as far as I can tell) are already set to Apple Pro Res 422 (LT). I don't understand what I am doing wrong!
    nb. the files seem to play okay in VLC

    Thanks for your reply David! Indeed my audio is 16 bit 48 kHz and there is no MP3 audio (have a wav music file included).
    I just spoke to a techy  friend who said the fact it is playing smoothly in VLC indicates the problem is with quicktime and not with the film itself, so I am currently compressing to something smaller and will see how I fare from there!

  • When sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108

    when sharing through the export media option as pro res 422 i get error code 108 and message saying could not complete because an error occurred when encoding frame 3297 - error 108!!!
    what is this frame...is it a jpeg file i have imported...how do i locate it... its a 40 minute movie and it will share to dvd just wont let me create a quicktime .mov file... any suggestions.

    What frame rate is the project? Divide the 3297 by the frame rate to get an approximate location? What are the specs of the media at that location, video and audio?

  • Hi there. I shot with a nikon d7000. The clips look great on the viewer but quite bad on canvas (also after its been exported) I converted my clips to apple pro res 422 using mpeg streamclip. The size I used was 1920 x 1080. How can I fix these?

    This is the clip:
    This is the sequence:
    I know they both should match. Question is, should I re convert the clips in mpeg using different size settings? Or should I change the sequence settings? how?
    Thanks A LOT.

  • If I imported proxy media to edit in fcpx, can I export a hight resolution (apple pro res 422 (hq)) version of the project ?

    If I imported proxy media to edit in fcpx, can I export a hight resolution (apple pro res 422 (hq)) version of the project ?

    OK, let me re-answer here.  You HAVE to have either original or optimized media, you can not have Proxy only media, when using FCPX's inport options.  You will switch between which FCPX is using; in 10.1 via the Canvas menu option called "Media", or in 10.0.9 and earily via the Preference's "Playback" settings.
    When set to Proxy, FCPX only references that medai, which is 1/4 resolution, and not full quality.  When set to Original Or Optimized, you'll get full resolution output, as FCPX is not referencing those files.
    The only way to have Proxy only media is to convert it in Compressor and then import that.  And that would just be a huge mistake.

  • CS6 Export Settings for Apple Pro Res 422 HQ

    My project is 1920 x 1080 (1.0) 23.976 fps, progressive and my special effects guy is asking for the project to be rendered out to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ. I can not find an export setting that offers 23.976 fps and is progressive. I have offered to give him an "XML" file but he is insistant. What can I do?

    I believe you will only find this option on a Mac that has ProRes installed from some other application, like QuickTime Pro or Final Cut.

  • Exporting FCE project to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ Quicktime conversion file

    Hi Folks,
    I have recently tried exporting an FCE project (HD 1080 16:9) as:
    1. Quicktime file
    2. Quicktime conversion using Apple Pro Res 422 HQ
    and noticed that the Pro Res file is 2Gb. larger than the standard Quicktime file.
    Does this mean the quality is 2Gb better? (it certainly looks crisp and clear)
    Should I be doing this everytime I export from now on?
    Any information much appreciated.  Regards.

    Transcoding your material from one codec to a higher quality codec will not improve the quality of your source material. You are always limited by the quality of the image prior to the transcode.
    If you have a pair of shoes you want to store, you can put them is a shoe box, or you can put them in a shipping crate - but neither method will improve the shoes.
    The shipping crate will just take up more space.
    The only possible advantage of transcoding your AIC sequence from FCE to ProRes would be:
    1) you force the need to repeatedly decompress and recompress the file  - ProRes will bear this better than AIC
    or
    2) you plan to use the file in an edit system that supports working directly in Pro Res.

  • Exporting AVI to Apple Pro Res 422

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 and I would like to export my source file (AVI) to Apple Pro Res 422. Is that possible?
    If not, which format do I export my video to be used on a Mac running Final Cut Pro. I realize I can export using Quicktime, but then Final Cut Pro would have to render the video. I am hoping to avoid the additional rendering step.

    Open the AVI file in MPEG Streamclip, and choose prores 422 as the export option, and see if that works.

  • Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export... no movie at the end of it

    I just let an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) export go for four hours.  At the end, there was no error message.  There was also no movie.  My sequence settings are for Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) as well.  What happened?

    were you doing a file:  export:  quicktime movie (NOT quicktime conversion) with current settings? 
    Have you done a search on your hard drives for the file name? 
    Was your target drive formatted macosextended?  Some pc drive formats have a file size limit which might have caused a problem.
    You might try doing a short export by marking an in and out in the timeline and see if that works.

  • Apple Pro Res 422 HQ export - "render at max depth" and "24 bit or 48 bit depth"?

    I'm exporting my 90 minute feature for DCP using the Apple Pro Res 422 HQ codec. The film is 1920x1080 and that is what the export will be. We used a variety of cameras (Canon 7D, Sony XR160, GoPro, Blackmagic in HD) for the film.
    For the export options:
    Do I check "Render at Maximum Depth"?
    Which do I choose - 24 bit or 48 bit depth? - one has to be chosen even when "Render at Maximum Depth" is unchecked
    When I asked the DCP house, they said that "Render at Maximum Depth doesn't actually do anything when using this codec" and haven't answered the 24 vs. 48 bit question.
    This discussion:
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/4529886#4529886
    says that you "never need to enable the Max Render Quality (MRQ) unless you are exporting in a format/pixel ratio different from your original video."

    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 422 file consuming more space than usual

    hi everyone!
    I've been  working with FCP 7 since 2008 and at the same time I started working with Canon T2 from 2 years ago and I haven't had any problems with my FCP workflow files, editing and output used to be H. 264 based files until I started to  have problems with my hd DSRL projects. Recently when editing the audio went out of sync and  I was suggested to change the Quicktime video settings from FCP 7 to imovie (which is th application I commonly use to create chapters and share to iDVD) this worked perfectly. It was the  first time I which I had  to  change the Quictime Settings to Apple Pro Res 422 The Out of sync problem was resolved but the space consumed by the file was enourmosly ncreased instead. ie. A 5 min project usually would take like a 500 mbs quicktime  file  and now using the Apple Pro Res 422 this 5 min project went up to 5.3 Ggs!! And also the exporting process is taking forever!! For instance I'm working  with a 30 min project and the Quicktime conversion never ends. It's taking about 12 hrs and is not taking  more than the 20% of the process. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I need help in a extremely urgent way!  Thank you all guys! And best regards from Mexico!!

    >using the Apple Pro Res 422 this 5 min project went up to 5.3 Ggs
    That's about right for a ProRes 422 file. High quality video takes a lot of space. It's sufficient to use the lighter ProRes LT for the footage from your T2 by the way. Your MacPro can also have up to 4 hard drives for plenty of storage.
    Why are you using QuickTime Conversion?
    Exporting to QuickTime with current settings and self contained is the better way. Then you use Compressor to make your delivery format from that master. Compressor is faster because it can take advantage of multiple cores - FCP doesn't. It will also give you far more control and choice over the encoding.

  • 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.
