I've always handled 5.1 and 7.1 ProRes files by making DCPs of them.

I don't know if Playback Pro will let you send 5.1 and 7.1 from a ProRes file out through the Mac's HDMI embedded audio - all the stuff I've played this way has been mono or L/R. I think somewhere on that Playback Pro website, it gives exact requirements.

Was some sort of QuickTime plug-in involved in the process. I wasn't using my computer for that show, but if I recall, we had a MacProĭesktop machine with a multi-channel analog audio output card, and there My experience is that most of the Pro-Res audio files have been LT-RT,īut I know I've worked on one or two shows that had 5.1 discrete tracks. My preferred hardware player for Pro Res is the AJA Ki-Pro, but converting them to DCP also works well.

Most of these are Lt/Rt mixes, but has anyone had a Pro Res file with a discrete 5.1 or 7.1 mix? Is there any way to play that properly, other than using something with an SDI output and then disembedding the sound from the SDI feed? The other issue with the file formats is sound formats. So, how does everyone determine if the files use the broadcast-legal (16-235) or full-range (0-255) luminance scale? How does one even ask a question like this of the person supplying the file? Many so-called "film"-makers don't even know their own movie's aspect ratio, much less answers to questions like this. However, whenever I receive these files for any other show, I will always DCP-ize them first unless there simply isn't time.įrom: Boston, MA.

We have one programming partner who insists on bringing his shows on a Mac laptop, and I have to admit that, despite my instinctive loathing for doing movie presentations this way, Playback Pro works well, in particular that it's almost bombproof as far as OSD and getting other unwanted crap on the screen is concerned. Running the show a lot easier, and "smoother" then trying to cue & switchīetween various clips on assorted disks and computer files.Īgreed with Jim that if you absolutely have to play these files straight to the screen, Playback Pro is an excellent solution.

Users guide recommends sticking with ProRes 422, and whenever I've worked ($400 & $600 respectively,īut worth every penny) OR a dedicated hardware player, the "PIX270i" from Videoĭevices (appx $6,000 - Great unit but overkill for some shows.)īoth of these systems will pretty much play back "anything", but PlaybackPro Labs "Playback Pro" or "Playback Pro +" from DT Labs.

What are the actual problems you encounter when playing back full length ProRes, and which player applications/appliances do you use?Īt most of the more professional festivals or corporate events I've worked at I tried to keep it as simple as possible. Getting a good quality file from submitters is a black art.įile submission guidelines This link is what I send to submitters to try to get a decent file. I usually just trans-code them to a high bit-rate H.264 for use in our festival.

Maybe they meant well handing over a high quality copy, but not necessarily knowing that it does not playback well. I imagine people try to submit the format, because that is what their editor gave them. even at moderate bit rates, it is very unpredictable. I have tried to run them for a film festival that I volunteer for.

Yes, It is a post production format intended to be a format for interchanging footage between editors. Thoughts? Anyone know of any good players for it? Everything I've read about it seems to say that's primarily used for post, and not intended for presentation. What are everyone's thoughts on ProRess 422 as a presentation format? I find it brutally unstable for anything feature length, yet I receive it constantly, despite specifically requesting that we don't receive material in this format.
