1. Re: Prores HQ 422 with AE CS4 on win7-64?
Todd_Kopriva Dec 14, 2009 12:30 PM (in response to FlashConfused)> 2. I'm guessing I'm out of luck writing to Prores on Win7-64. What is the highest resolution codec I can use that will also work on the Mac?
The use of the word 'resolution' here is a bit off. I assume that you are asking for a codec that can preserve quality. There are quite a few good interchange codecs that work in QuickTime containers. Animation and PNG (set to highest quality) are both lossless, and they're pretty nearly universal. Just don't use them as playback/final-distribution formats.
BTW, see this post about avoiding color problems with ProRes 422 media.

Mylenium Dec 14, 2009 11:26 PM (in response to FlashConfused)If you want something similar to ProRes, just download Avid's DNxHD Quicktime CoDec, which is available for Mac and PC and free. Other than that, PNG or Animation work well and of course you can always use image sequences. If going between different paltforms is a common requirement, you might consider investing in a commercial CoDec like Cineform or Sheer that considerably cut down on file sizes, support higehr bit-depths, different color spaces and color sampling and could also be used to natively capture items with in the first place.
