ProRes master
Export a high-quality ProRes 422 HQ file to keep or to edit elsewhere.
A master is a high-quality copy of your finished video. Keep it, and you can make smaller versions from it later.
Export one
Press CmdCtrl+E and choose Master (ProRes 422 HQ). It saves a .mov file at your project's size and frame rate.
File size
ProRes files are large. A few minutes of video can take several gigabytes. Make sure you have the space before you start.
When to use it
- To archive a project in high quality.
- To hand footage to someone else to continue editing.
- To make several smaller versions from one master.
Playing it
Most video editors play ProRes. Many everyday players on Windows and Linux do not, so make an H.264 export for sharing.
