Hi guys,
I’m quite desperate to find a solution to encode my videos to apple pro res. Some of you already have done this before, so you can guide me. It’s my first time when my client asked me to provide Apple ProRes video format, so…I have to do it.
Which is the cheapest solution available in this case?
Can I get a MAC and convert the videos on it?
Or, should I buy a software?
This is the codec I need: Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Thank you!
Use After Effects or Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder, or any number of other video encoding, editing or production tools.
You can’t export ProRes with Adobe Media Encoder on Windows.
You need to have the ProRes codecs installed. They come with Quicktime, if I remember it right.
I am almost 100% sure that the only way to have a video with the apple prores codec is to create it on a mac.
I’ve found some articles online listings some steps to get this on windows but there were quite abstract and frankly I said, who cares about this codec.
sorry, didn’t saved the link and I’ve not actually tried, I’m not sure it works 
Try with
FFMPEG and
Another GUI.
Looks easy…
Thank you guys for your time. so far, this is the best solution found on Windows. http://www.cinemartin.com
It’s a codec that is very popular these days, used by televisions. I’m gonna use a MAC anyway, after 5 hours of research.
Oh sorry - I wasn’t aware the encoder’s not installed with the Windows version of QT.
Shame - it’s a really excellent codec.

No I did it in the past for a client. But I think there were problems with the audio so I did it on a mac in the end. But it shall be possible.
Hi, you should check a software called “Episode” by Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/episode/features.htm
To me, its the best choice.

Telestream is quite expensive.
Best solution is:
Using a MAC, after you have installed Apple ProRes codecs. This tutorial helped me a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSFIQSXJ4RE
Cheers to everyone.
I mean “best solution” if you don’t want to buy a Mac

Video encoding is the task in which if you are using an unsuitable video encoding software then it can affect your entire video file. So it is necessary to apply perfect video encoding software for windows for encoding your videos.

Yeah, we kind of already know what video encoding is. Most of us do it every day. I removed your link tapydisuza, 'cos it looks more like random marketing of a piece of video software than answering the pertinent question in this thread.
If you address the OP’s question of whether the software in question can encode to Apple’s ProRes 422 codec, then you may re-post the link.
The best solution is Miraizon DNxHD and ProRes Codec Components - its native to Adobe:

Yap, I found this a few weeks ago. I didn’t try it yet, but it seems to do a great job. If someone does, I would like to know more details.

Looks like a waste of money to me. All it does is it opens up a ffmpeg window that performs a reencode. It does not allow you to render to prores, it only allows you to convert it to prores after the render.
I would say it saves you no time at all, as setting up that plugin takes as long as starting up ffmpeg (maybe with a GUI like AnotherGUI) and convert it on your own.
If you really need to have it inside AE, there is this free script that does pretty much the same:

But aempeg is imo not worth 40 bucks.
