: Many professional cameras (ARRI, Blackmagic, RED) and even the iPhone 13 Pro (and later) allow you to record directly into ProRes. .prores video
: A "Light" version for projects with limited storage or lower-end hardware, while still being better for editing than H.264.
: ProRes files are massive. Do not use them as your final upload format for the web unless you have a very fast connection and the platform specifically requests it. Drop your workflow below
: If you shot on a highly compressed format like H.264, you can "transcode" (convert) those files to ProRes using tools like Adobe Media Encoder or Apple Compressor to make your editing smoother.
