ProRes Properties

The ProRes Properties panel provides control over how ProRes 4444 and ProRes 4444 XQ files are interpreted and decoded in Tin Man.

RGB vs. YUV Decoding

• ProRes 4444 and ProRes 4444 XQ can be encoded in either RGB or YUV color formats.

• Tin Man will automatically decode the file according to its encoding:

  • Encoded as RGB → Decoded as RGB

  • Encoded as YUV → Decoded as YUV

Color Level Guidelines

• According to Apple’s ProRes specification:

  • RGB should be treated as Full Range

  • YUV should be treated as Video Range

⚠️ Important Exception: Certain formats, such as Sony S-Log3 ProRes, may use YUV encoding with Full Range levels. This falls outside the typical spec but is valid in practice.

Manual Override

If Tin Man has incorrectly detected the decode type (RGB or YUV) or color level (Full or Video Range), you can manually override these settings in this panel to ensure correct decoding.
