Hello everyone! I'm trying to make a proxy with the 1280 x 720 Apple ProRes, but to my surprise, it is not available to me.

Good to note that I do not have Final Cut Pro installed and I don't have motion.

I recently fresh installed everything on my mac trying to get 2 partitions going for another operating system (Mavericks) for use with a legacy product from Serato that is not supported on anything above that OS. in the past I downloaded a trial version of Final Cut which I guess helped me (without knowing) to obtain the codecs. But since my fresh install, I've avoided installing FCPX.

Now that I've discovered that in order to get the codecs I need, this pro software needs to be installed. I searched for another alternative and found out you can download the pro video formats and unpack the PKG. But after unpacking and transferring the codecs nothing really changed. I downloaded the Pro Video Formats 2.0.4 (due to the fact that the newer ones require Metal... more on my mac in a minute...)

currently, I don't know what else to do and I'm thinking of just giving up and downloading the free trial of FCPX.

The reason I'm trying to get this method to work is because of this tutorial.

And these are the resources I was using to get the codecs to work without Final Cut Pro

INSTALL THE APPLE PRORES CODEC WITHOUT FINAL CUT OR PROAPPS

and here are my specs (please don't laugh)

Early 2011 13" Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
High Sierra 10.13.6
Adobe Premiere Pro 14.7.0 (build 23)

Ok, Just learned that the fine people at Adobe decided that it would be much cleaner if instead, they renamed the codecs to ProRes Low, ProRes Medium, and ProRes high
