(FCS2 or FCS3)</p> <p>To build more on what Coreece has said, yes, it is typically used for HD, but you can still use it for SD. The benefits of ProRes include: </p> <p>10-bit color space. So it holds up better for graphics, compositing, and color grading.</p> <p>full faster resolution when used for HD. Full raster means that it's actually 1920X1080 or 1280X720 instead of 1440X1080 or 960X720 and then stretched. </p> <p>Much lower bit-rates than Uncompressed 10-bit video, but equal image quality. Uncompressed 10-bit video requires the use of a RAID while ProRes only really needs FW800. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-is-prores#post-51849 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:07:29 +0000 Eventvideoguy 51849@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Is it available for Final Cut Studios 1.5?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-is-prores#post-51847 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:56:57 +0000 Coreece 51847@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>yes it's just another codec typically used for HD footage.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-is-prores#post-51846 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:06:44 +0000 Eventvideoguy 51846@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I've been hearing the words ProRes alot lately but I'm not quite sure what it is.</p> <p>I edit in 720X480 Standard Def (interlaced). Final Cut Studios 1.5 Would it be beneficial to me?</p> <p>Is is some sort of Apple Codec?</p> <p> </p> <p>thanks</p>
