Encode XAVC/XAVC-S/XAVC-L to Apple ProRes

Summary: XAVC/XAVC-S/XAVC-L to Apple ProRes: this tutorial is all about how to encode XAVC/XAVC-S/XAVC-L to Apple ProRes on Windows 10/8.1/8/7. Just have a try. 

 

XAVC has been developed as an open format, which means that manufacturers other than Sony can develop their own products based on the technology. Sony then developed another version of XAVC—XAVC S—to put 4K workflows in reach of more and more users in the consumer market as well. XAVC S supports 4K, HD, and proxy workflows, and also utilizes the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec. 

ProRes is the lossy video compression format developed by Apple Incorporation for use in post production. It can provide an unparalleled combination of multistream, real-time editing performance, impressive image quality and reduced storage rates. It supports any frame size including SD, HD, 2K, 4K and 5K at full resolution. 

On Mac, Apple ProRes codec can be produced with Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X. However, we can not use Apple ProRes codec on Windows since none of the NLE program such as Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, etc has the capability to produce this special editing codec. 

“I have Avid Media Composer 6.0.3.2 and I want to export with Apple ProRes 422 settings, but there aren’t any Apple ProRes options under the export settings. Why? And is there any way to get around this? I need the ProRes codec file for a certain project.” 

Here you can depend on the latest Pavtube Video Converter to achieve your goal. Besides converter, it’s also an editor and player. Just free download it and have a try.
