Yeah I've been using it for a long while now and not had a single one of my client's complain about my delivered files. Most of them think I'm on a Mac because I provide ProRes files to them. 

ProRes (422, 4444, Alpha Channels, etc) , HAP(with and without alpha channel) , and especially use it most often for H.264 / mp4 delivery. I hate using the AME workflow as an export option, personally. You get no record of render data within the ae project and it feels like it takes a good amount of time longer to use AME for exports.

I understand the price issue. I was there as well. Especially if you're only gonna use it once. But I realized that I would be using it a lot for the mp4 h.264 outputs so it made sense to give it a try.

Hi,


And how do I know they will be able to read the ProRes 4444 files created by AfterCodecs?


I mean this is one small project from a single client, so $88 for a single delivery is a bit harsh, as I don't expect any more uses for it.


(I don't usually do work that is for a delivery format as I tend to complete all projects myself)


Basically it's because it's not for animation is for film for once.


If I knew for sure there would be no issues with the AfterCodecs on their side on delivery back, I would be tempted for sure to still buy it.


Thanks,


Anders

Just give them ProRes 4444 back, with AfterCodecs. 

I've been a huge fan of it and use it daily. Probably the most value I've ever gotten out of a 3rd party purchase.

Hi,


I work entirely on PC.


If I received QuickTime ProRes 4444 mov files, since Adobe Media Encoder does not export to ProRes 4444 at least not in Windows/PC, what is a format of equal quality and smaller that uncompressed, that (any) Mac person/editor would be able to accept as a delivery format?


I tried for example GoPro CineForm but doesn't open in QuickTime on their Mac.


I asked them what they can accept but in the meantime, if you are a Mac editor what would be acceptable?


(uncompressed MOV QuickTime are huge so not good)


Cheers


Anders
