Larry Jordan – LarryJordan.com

Compressor supports ProRes RAW making it useful on set creating proxy files.

In a recent update, Apple added support for ProRes RAW in Compressor. Apple ProRes RAW and Apple ProRes RAW HQ bring the same performance, quality, and ease of use introduced by Apple ProRes to raw media.

When you add a ProRes RAW clip to a Compressor Batch, new options appear in the Video Inspector (see screen shot).

You can use Compressor to:

• Convert between color spaces
• Convert RAW to a log file
• Apply a camera LUT
