It might seem a minor thing, but for example if you want to distribute a film on iTunes for example, you need to be providing a ProRes master file, and they will often reject ProRes files created from none official sources/encoders.
This isn't just a non-official version of the codec, but bondefide genuine home grown ProRes, which has resulted from Adobe working alongside Apple, and it will mean that Windows users, those that use Premiere at least, will no longer have to jump so many hoops to export the codec for mastering. It was announced in a short blog post on the Adobe website and would appear quite low key, but the company has now enabled a feature within Premiere Pro CC and accompanying apps such as After Effects and Media Encoder, Apple ProRes export support. Working with ProRes is now not the obstacle it once was on Windows based machines.
Apple is a rather jealous kindergartener. I don't know of any other way to license ProRes on PC's. I checked the Telestream "Switch" product mentioned above, and after reading through a number of screens, found this comment about ProRes exporting: " ProRes export on Windows is ProRes HQ 4:2:2 for iTunes only." If you don't already have those, "Miraizon sales have ended" as it says on their site, and the ProRes licensed for new buyers is not available. From reading the material on their site, although the sales of this have ended, if you have the codecs installed (as that screen grab shows) then to use them you should only need to have the QuickTime basic package installed on your PC, and you can install that without installing the QuickTime Player, which should be avoided on PC's now for security issues. What I'm trying to figure out is if you have the Miraizon codecs on your computer. Is that a screen-grab of your current codec list, or of a previous one or "borrowed" someplace?
