You may have heard of Prores but unless you’re running Final Cut Studio 2 you haven’t had the chance to work with the this codec.  Well now, Apple has kindly made it available to everyone.  

“Apple ProRes is a visually lossless format that provides uncompressed HD quality at SD data rates. 

It is an excellent choice for mastering and can easily be transcoded to distribution formats like H.264. With new support for playback on both Mac and Windows computers, Apple ProRes can also be used for review and approval of Final Cut Studio sequences.”
