I think the software is great – I tried and sampled many others and none were both straight forward AND accurate – particularly with regard to synchronizing audio with the video.

From the user questions:

“I have 1920×1080 Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode .mov files exported out of Final Cut Pro that I would like convert those ProRes 422 to other formats for different usages such as for preparing for web upload(YouTube or Vimeo), playback on personal computers, playback on DVD players, etc. Is there a Mac application do to so? Any assistance with that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.”

Final Cut Pro enables videographers to export projects as Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422 (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) and Apple ProRes 4444 in different settings depending on their final use.

Sometimes video editors need a third party application to convert these Apple ProRes clips to other formats like MKV, MP4, AVI, MPG, H.264, FLV, WebM and more to fit other uses, that’s because Final Cut Pro itself doesn’t support rewrapping exported ProRes to these video formats and so is Apple Compressor.

You probably have been in the same situation as mentioned above. Apple ProRes is an intermediate codec that provides high-quality, frame-accurate editing. Apple describes ProRes as visually lossless. That means while data is being removed during compression, the resulting images do not suffer from image degradation. Unlike H.264, ProRes is not a distribution codec for finished work.
