Can’t find ProRes export option in Premiere Pro CC 2017 Windows version
“Hello all, I have a bit of an urgent issue. I need to export a project specifically as ProRes 422 in order to meet a clients requirements. I thought that I saw ProRes as an export option in Premiere a few months back, but I can’t see any option now. I’ve scoured the internet for a solution and followed all of the advice given, but nothing has solved the issue. Could anyone help?”
Actually, the Windows version of Premiere Pro doesn’t include ProRes export option. To do this, you need to output your project first, and then use a third party converter app to transcode your Premiere project to ProRes. The following guide walks you through how to do this in an easy way.
First of all, output your Premiere project as H.264. Then follow these steps to convert your Premiere output to ProRes codec.
