Pro-Res comes to pc’s!

Premiere Pro on Windows can now export to ProRes directly!

I know I’m using a lot of exclamation points there, but this is HUGE!

Adobe and Apple have finally reached agreement on bringing native encoding/exporting of the Apple ProRes codec to all users of Premiere Pro CC 2019 version as of this latest update of Premiere Pro.

As shown in the pic above, in the Export dialog, select the QuickTime format, then in the Preset line, select the version of ProRes for your needs. Simple and spiffy!

You can of course also create proxy and other presets in Adobe Media Encoder to use within Premiere Pro also that use the various flavors of ProRes.

Apple has always been unwilling to share their in-house ProRes codec on the Windows OS without purchase of a rather spendy license, which has also often not even been available. This agreement is going to be such a huge benefit to the entire video post-processing world. Standardization of formats and codecs is such a huge boost!

Thank you, Apple and Adobe!
