I'm using a PC.  What I am trying to do is do my work, convert back to ProRes to send back to the editor guy who uses a Mac.  I received a ProRes 422(LT) file on a Mac Drive.  When I use that Cinec coder, it works but then I place it directly above my original on same editor timeline, adjust opacity and I see the subtle difference.  

I suppose he could kick it back down a shade but ideally, would like it right.  I know if I render out in avi, it is perfect.

Did you get the Mac version of the Pavtube HD video converter?

If so look under Settings in the Format and look forFinal Cut Pro in the left hand column. Select it and the ProRes options appear on the right.

You can also customize the output to the same directory or another directory.

I just downloaded it and appears it does not have the ProRes converter.  Guess I misread - thought that was they key feature! :)  The other one does work, I just notice a slightly brighter image when I place it on top of the original ProRes 422 (LT) file.

Darn.

I'm not sure about color or luminance shifts because without the converter I couldn't see the original in anything other than VLC and that didn't play in anywhere near real time.

What I like is that it converts from the AVI directly to ProRes. Most of the converters I tried would convert to h264,but not to ProRes.  I'm not sure if the windows version has the ProRes Codec since that doesn't seem to be readily available on Windows. I work a Mac so I have the Mac version.

They have a free trial version so you should try it and see if it works for you.

Hello - 

I've been trying the Cinec converter from the other gentleman and I notice the final product is a touch brighter.  Anyone else notice this?  How well does this Pavtube one work?  Is it a Windows to ProRes converter?  It says converter for Mac.  I really need precision on the coloring.

Thanks,
Eric

Along this line I have a client who has been bringing me AVI's from AECS6 that I need to work with on my Mac. It took me weeks to find a converter so I am sharing it.

Check out Pavtube HD Converter for Mac. $35 to convert directly to ProRes.

Thanks.
