Encoding To ProRes
by Sam Caino on Dec 7, 2011 at 11:30:40 pm
Can anyone offer up the best solution for Encoding to HD ProRes HQ with a PC. I would be willing to explore both free and pay options. I have heard of FFmpeg and Clipster. I am wondering what the opinion is of these and others from you fellow Vegas users.
I realize there are comparable codecs (DNxHD). However, this is a non-negotiable client issue.

If you have clients that require ProRes they you need to invest in a Mac. If it's just one client, then find someone who will encode the file for you. Otherwise, you need acquire the tools that your client expects you to have. You can get a MacMini for $599 and just use it to encode ProRes files. It has a Core i5 Dual Core 2.3GHz and is actually a nice computer (I just bought one not too long ago).
