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 183 .
Selecting a Recording Frame Rate that is not supported by Apple ProRes has the following effects:
‒ 2K Apple ProRes over 120 FPS : The QuickTime file will be sub-sampled.
‒ 4K Apple ProRes over 60 FPS : Apple ProRes is disabled.
‒ 4K Apple REDCODE RAW over 29.97 FPS : Apple ProRes is disabled.
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
‒ Stills
Recording 4K Apple ProRes is only available:
‒ On WEAPON 6K (Carbon Fiber)
‒ When recording to QuickTime only
‒ When recording to the following codecs
‒ Apple ProRes 422
‒ Apple ProRes 422 HQ
‒ Apple ProRes 422 LT
If HDRx
®
is enabled, only the selected monitor track is recorded to the QuickTime files. For more information,
go to “HDRX Menu” on page 123 .
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 83 .
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 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202410 .
