Full Support for ProRes Video Capture<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Now you can record brilliant Apple ProRes videos with your iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. In fact, we added four different ProRes formats to ProCamera so there is the right option for every use case.<\/h2>\n

What is ProRes?<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The choice of many professionals: ProRes is a high quality, lossy video compression format developed by Apple with excellent properties for post-production. All ProRes 422 variants use chroma subsampling of 4:2:2 at 10 bit color depth.[\/vc_column_text]

How to use it in ProCamera?<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our update v15.1 brings ProRes support to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. To activate ProRes video capture, go to Settings > Video Quality > Video Codec: ProRes 422<\/strong>.\u00a0Here, you will see ProRes as a third option next to the H.264 and the H.265 (HEVC) codecs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tap “Advanced Settings<\/strong>” on this page to specify your preferred ProRes format. Four ProRes formats are available<\/strong>\u00a0(ProRes HQ, ProRes, ProRes LT, ProRes Proxy) and they vary in data rate \u2013 with Proxy being the most compressed and\u00a0HQ being the least compressed variant.[\/vc_column_text]

Where can I check if ProRes is active?<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]As stated before, the primary place to activate ProRes is via Settings > Video Quality. Since ProRes is currently not available for very high frame rates, we also added a dedicated Codec field to our info panel in Video mode<\/strong>. Right next to resolution and frame rate, the panel will tell you which general Codec and even which of the four ProRes formats (e.g. ProRes HQ) is currently active. Once you dial in a camera configuration that isn’t compatible with ProRes (e.g. 240fps) the codec will automatically switch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”59406″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Which bit rates can I expect?<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is a list of average bit rates<\/strong> we metered when filming ProRes clips. Please bear in mind that high bit rate recordings result in very large files. ProRes recordings can in fact be 30 times larger than HEVC files. So make sure that enough space is available on your device or switch to one of the more compressed formats for smaller video files. In ProCamera you have all the options available.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
