APPLE PRORES INFORMATION
By default, the camera records all videos and stills in the REDCODE RAW file format (records R3D files). You also
have the option to record Apple ProRes files. This section provides general information about recording Apple ProRes
files with the camera:
NOTE: If Look Around is enabled, the Look Around area is recorded in the Apple ProRes file.
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 ProRes + R3D 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
Motion + Stills
Recording 4K Apple ProRes is only available:
When recording to Apple ProRes 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 136 .
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. When recording Apple ProRes, the camera scales that format to the Resolution (2K)
selected in the Codec menu. The field of view is maintained in the QuickTime file; the image is not cropped.
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.
To record Apple ProRes files, go to "Select Record File Format" on page 133 .
