As one of the most popular codecs in professional post-production, there are 6 types of Apple ProRes formats in Apple ProRes family, and they are Apple ProRes 4444 XQ, Apple ProRes 4444, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 LT, and Apple ProRes 422 Proxy.

Apple ProRes 4444 XQ is the highest-quality version of Apple ProRes, and it can preserve the detail in high dynamic imagery.

Apple ProRes 4444 is an extremely high-quality version of Apple ProRes and features full resolution, and it is used for storing and exchanging motion graphics.

Apple ProRes 422 HQ is a higher version than Apple ProRes 422, and Apple ProRes 422 LT is a more highly compressed codex than Apple ProRes 422 and it is perfect for conditions where storing capacity and data rate are quite needy.

As a more highly compressed codex than Apple PRores 422 LT, Apple ProRes 422 Proxy is used for offline workflows that ask for low data rates but full resolution is still required.

Here Apple ProRes 422 is just fine and it is enough to produce better multi-stream and real-time editing performance. Click the format bar to follow “Final Cut Pro” and “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov).”
