And judging by the waiting time for processing order the first day this product was announced, I might be off on the lower end. When I first saw it, I thought: wow, somebody has just made himself a million bucks. Like Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Media Encoder. And let’s be honest – between Adobe Media Encoder, MPEG Streamclip, and Handbrake, do you need another encoder? Most likely you don’t.Įnter Miraizon with their DNxHD and ProRes Codec Components which promise the ability to encode ProRes files via standard QuickTime encoder, meaning that you are able to select ProRes as the output codec from any application that encodes QuickTime. True, much more user friendly and less prone to user error, but still not there. There were some people swearing for the Cinemartin’s Cinec but it also had the same drawbacks of encoding finished files only, while at the same time being a bit pricey.
And you could only do this for the finished file or attempt to use a hack that served frames to the encoder.
But it was hardly a “plug and play” solution, and you really had to nail the settings right not to get burned about missing timecode, gamma shift, and other problems.
True, there were makeshift solutions based on ffmpeg encoder that required either a knowledge of command line scripting or the use of other open source applications like AnotherGUI. For quite some time one of the holy grails of multi-platform support has been the ability of encoding ProRes codecs on Windows.
