The May, 2020, update to Adobe Media Encoder now includes twelve new ProRes compression presets for both Windows and Mac versions. Presets are located in the Broadcast category and include:
- Apple ProRes Proxy
- Apple ProRes LT
- Apple ProRes 422
- Apple ProRes 422 HQ
- Apple ProRes 4444 (with and without an alpha channel)
The only format missing is ProRes 4444 XQ, which is a high-end origination format, so it isn’t surprising that AME doesn’t include it.
NOTE: ProRes RAW can only be recorded by a camera, it isn’t a delivery format.
The settings support two wrapper formats:
- QuickTime
- MXF OP1a
By default, each setting matches the frame size and frame rate of the source media, though this can be modified when the preset is applied.
