We are doing an event for a client who is a MAC house. All the editors are FCP - and Adobe Premiere. I have done a bit of poking around, looking for a good way to transcode the VMixAvi into ProRes422 on the Mac. Not finding anything promising.
THanks anyone that might have a workable solution. I appreciate your time!
Thanks,
Have a great week.
Chris

Why not recording ProRes in the 1st place ?

I think ProRes recording takes more toll on the CPU. https://www.vmix.com/help23/vMixVideoCodec.htmlConverting vMix AVI files to ProRes MOV vMix includes a program called vMix Media Converter that can transcode multiple vMix AVI files to ProRes MOV files. This program can be located in the Windows Start Menu.

Quote:I think ProRes recording takes more toll on the CPU It does for sure but if the computer can do it, there's not need for post transcoding

YES, we have really performant machines. PRORES is deffinately not a good solution. Even with our machines, you get a CPU spike when recording ProRez. IF you tax your processor to much, the records will suffer. Not a good thing when a client is expecting something usable. we are running the show at 1080p @59.94hz.
OUR studio Machine is.
AMD EPIC 7502p External cooling
128GB DDR4 3200MHZ
Nvidia RTX Titan - 24GB Memory
and a bunch of other stuff.

Drat, I came here with pretty much the same situation, was hoping to find an answer. Dropping a comment to follow along and see if anyone has a solution.

PRORES is definately not a good solution. Even with our machines, you get a CPU spike when recording ProRez. I have done ProRes recording multiple times... on a pretty old i7 computer. Never had an issue... Usually on my system ProRes needs 15 to 25% CPU, on your beast it should be much less with your 32 cores (I have 8)... On my system, it runs fine for hours, even with a 50 inputs project (well designed and optimized, I'm not crazy) while streaming on GPU of course... I don't think the total load load exceeds 55/60% CPU which is still pretty safe. Not a big deal... Did you just try ? Unless your project is huge or you need multirecording, I guess your machine can natively record ProRes without a glitch. Testing is the answer... and the only way to go for you to know...
