Announcement: Adobe has brought (officially licensed) ProRes encoding to Windows versions of their video apps. This is not a drill.

Adobe just announced that officially licensed ProRes encoding is now available for Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc. on Windows. I just downloaded the update.

It works.

Finally.

Remember, if you can't afford the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription, you can still export (not officially licensed) ProRes files using FFMPEG or one of the many programs that uses FFMPEG for export. Just realize that some TV channels will not accept non-official ProRes files, so don't use FFMPEG as your final export if you're submitting to a major TV channel.

Anyways, my next tutorial was going to be about DNxHD/DNxHR encoding in FFMPEG for this very reason. I will now be looking for another topic.

Hi Andrew, Love your tutorials. Been following requests for ProRes on Adobe site and just received the official announcement via email from engineering team. It's here as you stated. Very exciting and it should work well with workflow and processes you have described in tutorials. Thanks again😵 🤓RDN
