What Happened To ProRes LT?Posted by marcus_sg
There are some features that is probably delayed due to the lack of time. Dropping some of the ProRes flavours is one of them, not that it isn't good. My guess is that ProRes LT does a bit of dithering to reduce compression artifacts, and that may take a while longer to port over to FCP X/AV Foundation.

ProRes LT isn't an option in the QT export dialog and I assumed it was just an oversight on Apple's part, not that they had removed the codec. I still have ProRes LT on my system and can use it with Compressor, but then again, I have Final Cut Studio installed. Can someone with only FCPX on their system (that has never installed Final Cut Studio) confirm that ProRes LT is an option in QuickTime Player 7 or Compressor?

Ah yes, you're right. Strange... I could swear there were fewer options before.

So many little things like that really makes me think this is a beta. I don't find that disheartening because I don't think these issues are by design. I think they're going to get fixed/improved. I think the fundamental design concepts are sound. They've got lots of fixes and there's lots of smaller "feature requests" that I think are easy to deliver.
Along these lines, is LT viable for input to FCP X?
I've been using it to convert iphone clips into FCP 7 and it offers quality comparable to the original and saves space, but any hitches in using ProRes LT if I some day move to actually using FCP X (is LT a usable EDIT format moving forward?) Bill Rogers
