Prores enconding

Just wondering, are you able to render QT's using Prores Codec (windows)?

last time i checked, You have to pay to get ability to encode ProRes... AFAIK there is no free solution.. not from quicktime..
but that was a some time ago

You can use Blackmagic resolve lite (free) for Mac or Linux can do the encoding for you.

Not the ideal solution for Fusion workflow right now, but it is there and it is free if you need to write the format.

ffmpeg?

Doesn't apple require a fee of some sort to encode the format?

some branches of FFMpeg seem to support it, I've been using this front end for converting files for broadcast over the last year and it works sweet:

Choosing ProRes 75Mbit outputs ProRes LT, 36Mbit outputs ProRes 422 & 185Mbit does 444

ffmpeg?

Nope, from scratch, he didnt think ffmpeg did a good enough job

If you reverse engineer it and you are open source, there is not much they can do once it hits the wild, and i doubt the terrible windows commercial encoders you can buy have ever paid any fees lol
But no, i don't think they have a fee based system, a lot of lower end Mac software encodes to ProRes, i just think they went out of their way to be unhelpful to Windows developers haha

Hope he contributes this to ffmpeg. He'd benefit from all kinds of image input formats, filters and audio muxing.
Opensource and ffmpeg in particular is already so fragmented.

just buy the miraizon codec. works great.
