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:
NOTE: Each camera offers different Apple ProRes codecs, and different frame rates for those codecs. For more
information, go to “Technical Specifications” on page 159.
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 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 115.
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) 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 76.
For more information about Apple ProRes, including the data rates for each codec, see the Apple Support
site at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202410.
