Either way, this is bad for ProRes’ future. Regardless of whether Apple is planning to release a new Mac Pro to market, the need for a cross-platform codec is growing. It will either be filled by a hacked version of ProRes, DNxHR, VC-5 or an official Apple ProRes encoder for Windows. Apple ProRes 422: A high-quality compressed codec offering nearly all the benefits of Apple ProRes 422 HQ, but at 66 percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance. The target data rate of Apple ProRes 422 is approximately 147 Mbps at 1920 x 1080 and 29.97 fps. This update adds the following video codecs for use by QuickTime-based applications: Apple Intermediate Codec Apple ProRes AVC-Intra DVCPRO HD HDV XDCAM HD / EX / HD422 MPEG IMX Uncompressed 4:2:2. Apple ProRes is a high quality, lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. For use in post-production that supports up to 8K. It is the successor of the Apple Intermediate Codec and was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2. The ProRes family of codecs use compression algorithms based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) technique, much like the H.26x and MPEG standards.

Re: Getting the ProRes Codec

I've just found a way to sort this problem out that gets around this install 'problem':
In order to get these to show and also to have access to all the other georgeous 422 codecs and other goodies, download the new QT codec pack: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396
Then use the little app UNPKG ( http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/ ) to unpack the contents by simply dragging the downloaded PKG codec pack onto the app window. This then unpacks on the desktop. Inside navigate the folders until you get to the QT .component files.
Next, drag these into your Library/Quicktime/ folder and then you'll have the LT codecs ( and many others) to use in FCP 6 and all other apps like Streamclip, QT Pro etc. (I would recommend renaming the existing ones in case of problems of course)
I've done a test with it and it works like a charm on my Mac Pro running 10.6.7 and FCP 6.0.6. I'm not able to create an LT sequence but if you create a new one and then drag the material on with the prompt enabled to match settings it will make an LT sequence. I was also able to render out a 422 LT clip from QT Pro and Streamclip to use in the project. All the correct 422 labels also show in the codec lists in all encoding apps.
If you try and install the QT pack on anything not FCP X it will give you an error but this manual installation gets around the Apple Police and their insistence you buy everything new the minute it comes out! You can keep FCP 7 and X, I'm quite happy with 6!

While reading this, you will also learn about one of the best alternatives to Adobe Premiere Pro that can export ProRes more easily and quickly.

Part 1. Does Adobe Premiere Pro Support ProRes

Apple Prores Codec For Mac Windows 7

A simple, quick, and straightforward answer to the question are, “Yes, it does.” Although ProRes is an Apple proprietary product that was first introduced in 2007 with the official release of Final Cut Studio 2, considering the advantages it offers, such as keeping the files smaller in size while still retaining higher picture quality, Adobe joined hands with Apple. The codec can now be used with the major post-production and encoding tools by the vendor, namely Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Media Encoder.

Quick Info

ProRes is an intermediate codec that contains visuals in uncompressed form. This makes it easy for the post-production applications to edit the footages without giving any overhead to the processor or GPU. Once the editing is done, the videos are exported to a distributable, more recognizable format like MP4, MOV, etc. for broadcasting.

Work Process (with Adobe Premiere Pro)

When it comes to exporting a video to ProRes with Adobe Premiere, a certain flow needs to be followed to get optimum results. This workflow, along with the reason for each phase, is briefly explained below:

Video footage is imported to Adobe Premiere Pro
Assuming that the video is not already recorded in ProRes, it is transcoded to ProRes 422 or ProRes 422 HQ if required (Some professionals even prefer creating proxies)
The ProRes 422 file is then edited as needed
Post-editing, the video is exported to a globally accepted format like MP4, MOV, etc. using better compression-oriented codecs such as H.264 or H.265.

Part 2. How to Export to ProRes from Adobe Premiere Pro

Considering the above process in mind, and assuming that you have already imported a video to Adobe Premiere Pro, the steps below explain how footage can be transcoded to ProRes for further editing:

Step 1: Click File and Open the Export Settings Box.

Click File from the menu bar at the top of the Adobe Premiere Pro window, go to Export from the drop-down menu, and click Media from the submenu that appears to open the Export Settings box.

Step 2: Select Quick as Format and a Preset.

Select QuickTime from the Format drop-down list. Notice that ProRes 422 HQ is selected by default in the Preset field. (in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019). You can either leave it selected or choose a different one as needed from the drop-down list (ProRes 422 for this example).

Step 3: Verify the Codec and Make Other Adjustments.

From under the Basic Video Settings sections, uncheck the common box for Width and Height (if already checked), and define a custom resolution (1920 x 1080 here) (or leave the box checked, and the figures intact if no changes are necessary). Along with this, also ensure that other options are configured according to the settings given below:

Frame Rate is set to 25 or 30 (as per your preference)
Field Order is set to P
