Something must have happened at Apple this year as a 'trigger' to allow companies access to the prores licensing, and it wasn't only for Autodesk. After years of Apple refusing to let companies have the license for prores creation on anything except OSX, some type of upper level policy change must have been made. I spoke with several transcoding application developers at NAB and they all were being allowed (as of next month or so) to finally, after years of trying, purchase licenses from apple allowing prores creation. Among these were Autodesk (Linux) and Quantel (on Windows), who has also been trying for years to obtain it.
We had given up on the hope of seeing this support so long ago that we spent a lot of time customizing ffmpeg to suit all our prores needs. It's worked very well for us. The irony is that, now that we've all but abandoned final cut and rarely are requested to create prores, Apple final gave in and allowed everyone to do so. sam marrocco | chief technical officer ringside.cutters.picnic.moonlink 248 548 2500 w 248 910 3344 c ringsidecreative.com <http://ringsidecreative.com/> _______________________________________________ Nuke-users mailing list [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
