What is apple prores

About Apple ProRes

Apple ProRes codecs provide an unparalleled combination of multistream, real-time editing performance, impressive image quality, and reduced storage rates. Apple ProRes codecs take full advantage of multicore processing and feature fast, reduced-resolution decoding modes.

All Apple ProRes codecs support all frame sizes (including SD, HD, 2K, 4K, and 5K) at full resolution. The data rates vary based on codec type, image content, frame size, and frame rate. Apple ProRes includes the following formats.

To bring the same performance, quality, and ease of use introduced by Apple ProRes to raw media, use Apple ProRes RAW. Learn more about ProRes RAW.

Apple ProRes 4444 XQ*

Apple ProRes 4444 XQ is the highest-quality version of Apple ProRes for 4:4:4:4 image sources (including alpha channels). This format has a very high data rate to preserve the detail in high-dynamic-range imagery generated by today’s highest-quality digital image sensors. Apple ProRes 4444 XQ preserves dynamic ranges several times greater than the dynamic range of Rec. 709 imagery. This holds true even against the rigors of extreme visual effects processing in which tone-scale blacks or highlights are stretched significantly. Like standard Apple ProRes 4444, this codec supports up to 12 bits per image channel and up to 16 bits for the alpha channel. Apple ProRes 4444 XQ features a target data rate of approximately 500 Mbps for 4:4:4 sources at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps.

ProRes 4444 XQ is supported on OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or later.

Apple ProRes 4444*

Apple ProRes 4444 is an extremely high-quality version of Apple ProRes for 4:4:4:4 image sources (including alpha channels). This codec features full-resolution, mastering-quality 4:4:4:4 RGBA color, and visual fidelity that is perceptually indistinguishable from the original material. Apple ProRes 4444 is a high-quality solution for storing and exchanging motion graphics and composites, with excellent multigeneration performance and a mathematically lossless alpha channel of up to 16 bits. This codec features a remarkably low data rate compared to uncompressed 4:4:4 HD. It has a target data rate of approximately 330 Mbps for 4:4:4 sources at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps. It also offers direct encoding of and decoding to both RGB and Y’C_BC_R pixel formats.

Apple ProRes 422 HQ

Apple ProRes 422 HQ is a higher-data-rate version of Apple ProRes 422 that preserves visual quality at the same high level as Apple ProRes 4444 but for 4:2:2 image sources. With widespread adoption across the video post-production industry, Apple ProRes 422 HQ offers visually lossless preservation of the highest-quality professional HD video that a single-link HD-SDI signal can carry. This codec supports full-width, 4:2:2 video sources at 10-bit pixel depths, while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding. The target data rate is approximately 220 Mbps at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps.

Apple ProRes 422

Apple ProRes 422 is a high-quality compressed codec offering nearly all the benefits of Apple ProRes 422 HQ, but at 66 percent of the data rate for even better multistream, real-time editing performance. The target data rate is approximately 147 Mbps at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps.

Apple ProRes 422 LT

Apple ProRes 422 LT is a more highly compressed codec than Apple ProRes 422, with roughly 70 percent of the data rate and 30 percent smaller file sizes. This codec is perfect for environments where storage capacity and data rate are at a premium. The target data rate is approximately 102 Mbps at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps.

Apple ProRes 422 Proxy

Apple ProRes 422 Proxy is an even more highly compressed codec than Apple ProRes 422 LT, intended for use in offline workflows that require low data rates but full-resolution video. The target data rate is approximately 45 Mbps at 1920×1080 and 29.97 fps.

* Apple ProRes 4444 and Apple ProRes 4444 XQ are ideal for the exchange of motion graphics media because they are virtually lossless. They are also the only Apple ProRes codecs that support alpha channels.

About Apple ProRes on iPhone 13 Pro

On iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS 15.1 or later, you can use the Camera app to record videos in Apple ProRes.

Apple ProRes enables multistream, real-time editing performance while delivering professional image quality. With iOS 15.1 or later, your iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Max can record videos in the Apple ProRes format in the Camera app using any of its cameras in Video mode.* You can edit Apple ProRes in the Photos app or iMovie for iPhone, and in video editing apps for Mac, iPad, and iPhone that support ProRes.

* You can’t use ProRes with Cinematic mode, slo-mo, or time-lapse video.

Turn on ProRes

To enable your iPhone to record videos in ProRes, go to Settings > Camera > Formats, then turn on Apple ProRes under Video Capture. To record a ProRes video, tap ProRes in the Camera app, then record your video.

iPhone 13 Pro supports ProRes recording in HDR using the HLG format or in SDR, and supports these resolutions and frame rates:

• ProRes support for 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB storage capacity:
  • 4K at 30 frames per second (fps)
  • 4K at 25 fps
  • 4K at 24 fps
  • 1080p HD at 60 fps
  • 1080p HD at 30 fps
  • 1080p HD at 25 fps
• ProRes support for 128 GB storage capacity:
  • 1080p HD at 30 fps
  • 1080p HD at 25 fps

If you turn ProRes off in the Camera app, the format of the video defaults to the format you set under Camera Capture in Settings > Camera > Formats: either High Efficiency (HEVC) or Most Compatible (H.264).

Manage ProRes files

ProRes files are up to 30 times larger than HEVC files. If you store the files on your device, you might run out of space more quickly than you expect. And if you use iCloud Photos to store your photos, you might need to upgrade your iCloud storage plan to make more space available for these larger files. iCloud also has limits on file size.

iOS helps you optimize your storage when recording in ProRes. To extend ProRes recording time when data storage is low, you can free resources while using the Camera app. The Camera app will also free resources automatically when ProRes is enabled and less than five minutes of recording time is available.

Freeing resources will clear temporary system or app data that might be stored on your iPhone. It doesn’t permanently delete unrecoverable data, but might require some apps to refresh data when they’re used again. To record in ProRes, you need at least 10 percent of the storage in your iPhone to be free.

Use ProRes with Photos and other apps

Apple ProRes has widespread adoption across the video post-production industry, so you can open ProRes files with apps that are compatible with the format. Apps might transcode a ProRes video to a smaller H.264 format if ProRes isn’t supported.

Edit a ProRes file

You can edit Apple ProRes files in the Photos app or iMovie for iOS, in iMovie or Final Cut Pro for Mac, or in third-party editing apps that support ProRes.

These Apple devices can support ProRes playback and editing:

• Mac with Mac OS X 10.6 and later
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later
• iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later
• iPad mini (6th generation)
• iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max

Share ProRes videos

Here are the best ways to share your ProRes video:

• Use a Lightning Cable and Image Capture on Mac or a compatible application on a Windows PC to import the files.
• Use iCloud Photos to access the original ProRes video file in full resolution on all of your devices.
• To transfer the ProRes file from your iPhone to another iPhone, iPad, or your Mac, use AirDrop. AirDrop will transfer the original ProRes video to supported devices: iPhone 13 models, Mac with Mac OS X 10.6 and later, 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) and later, 11-inch iPad Pro (1st generation) and later, and iPad mini (6th generation). For all other devices, you’ll share an HEVC video if the devices supports it, or H.264 video if the device doesn’t.
