Doesn't it matter much to ordinary people?
The video format "Prores" (ProRes) compatible with iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.There are various standards for video formats, but this PRORES is a format mainly used in video professional sites.
Prores is often used among professionals when editing video.Because the compression rate is low, the file size is large instead of a lot of information in the file.However, the operation during the video editing is relatively light, and there is an advantage that editing can be performed by minimizing deterioration.
The PRORES can record iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.The iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini are not supported.
"Video is as high as possible!"
If you have a feeling, you would like to choose the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max that supports Prores, but do you actually need Prores?Who should choose iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max for Prores?
What is the difference between the image quality of HEVC and PRORES?I tried to compare it for the time being
For the time being, I took a video in the iPhone 13 Pro with Prores mode and standard mode (HEVC 10bit).
I shot it in a normal iPhone video (HEVC) and PRORES, transferred it to a personal computer, compared it as much as I touched the display on the display, but honestly I didn't understand the difference!The color and the resolution are almost the same.Is my eyes ponkotsu?Even the videos of the iPhone 13 Pro taken normally are too much ...
Prores, do you need it ...
Ask the video professional, "Tell me the good part of Prores"
Well, video amateurs like me did not understand the greatness of Prores.So I asked Kyle, a video team of the Giz Mode Editorial Department, about the benefits of Prores.
It is logical that the image quality improves because the compression rate is low.But I didn't feel much difference just by actually looking at it.That may be a great merit in editing.How is Kyle?
Does that mean you no longer need to use Prores on your iPhone?
I see.But why is Prores a large file size but light editing?This is easy to understand if you consider origami as an example.
Origami becomes smaller as folded many times.However, wrinkles increase and it takes time to spread.
If this is applied to the video editing, wrinkles are deteriorated, and the movement to spread is decoded.
Once the folds are not returned, the editing work is slow because the folded origami on the app is expanded each time it is edited.
On the other hand, Prores with a low compression rate has a small number of folds (less wrinkles = less deteriorated), and it is easy to spread (decoding in a short time), so the editing work is lighter.
There was a belief that editing was heavy because the file size was large, but as long as I heard about Kyle, I found that the higher the compression rate is more important than the size of the file size in editing work.。
You should not choose the iPhone depending on the presence or absence of Prores!
What is good for PRORES?After all, should I use iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max?In order to solve such a question, I tried to solve Prores, but the conclusion is that "ordinary people do not need to choose the iPhone due to the presence or absence of Prores."The point is that it can be adjusted to the professional production flow of the video with the iPhone.
If anything, the decisive factor for ordinary people to choose iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max may be a telephoto lens or a macro shooting function.If you want these, you may feel like Pro, if you don't need it, you can feel unbranded.
