A post house sent me a mac formatted drive with mac ProRes files notably missing the polite little post-it note 'Is mac format OK?" or similar. Mac droids, but anyway.
So I got win7 to read the darn drive, and then I'm looking at 'apch' encoded files. Did not play in VLC, which was bad news.
So, just to be sure before firing off a polite e-mail I dropped a clip on Vegas 10e.... and it loads on the timeline. 10e does ProRes. How did this happen? Has this always been there?

With 10e Boris BCC runs smoothly without any crashes and the whole 10e installation is stable - I'm really impressed with how SCS have fixed v10 through the revisions. Good job. And ProRes on top of that. Thank You.

Apple added the ability to read ProRes in QuickTime Player back around version 7.6.2
Vegas had some QuickTime issues but they were fixed in, as recall, one of the Pro 9 updates.
I'm working on a project that has a few ProRes files in it and I agree that it's a pleasure to just be able to drop them on the timeline and have them play :)
