APPLE PRORES INFORMATION
By default, the camera records all videos and stills in the REDCODE RAW file format. You also have the option to
record Apple ProRes files. This section provides general information about recording Apple ProRes files with the
camera:
The camera cannot record Apple ProRes when Pre-Record is enabled.
The camera can record Apple ProRes only when either of the following recording modes is enabled:
Continuous Record
Motion + Stills
Recording 4K Apple ProRes is only available:
When recording to QuickTime only
When recording to the following codecs:
Apple ProRes 422
Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Apple ProRes 422 LT
Recording to REDCODE RAW + QuickTime is not supported when the format is 4K FF.
If HDRX
®
is enabled, only the selected monitor track is recorded to the QuickTime files. For more information, go
to "HDRX Menu" on page145.
RED recommends performing a Secure Format before recording Apple ProRes. For more information, see the
DSMC Media Operation Guide, available at www.red.com/downloads.
QuickTime files have the same metadata that is in the REDCODE RAW files. The metadata is per clip, and not per
frame. At this time, there is no tool for extracting that metadata from the QuickTime files.
You can select any Resolution in the Format menu. When recording Apple ProRes, the camera scales that format to
the Resolution (2K or 4K) selected in the Codec menu. The field of view is maintained in the QuickTime file; the
image is not cropped. For more information on setting the Format, go to "Format" on page97.
If recording 4K Apple ProRes and the Resolution is less than 4K, the image is scaled to 2K.
For more information about Apple ProRes, including the data rates for each codec, see the Apple Support site at
