# Export Video Codecs

#### **Export Video Codec Notes**

* **DNxHD / DNxHR encoding** requires a **Tin Man Pro License**.
* **H.264 / H.265 encoding on Windows** relies on **GPU hardware acceleration** and may vary by system.
* **Panasonic AVC-Intra / AVC-LongG** and **Sony XAVC Intra / XAVC Long GOP** encoding require an **Intel CPU**.
* **ProRes CBR (Constant Bitrate)** export is supported for both **MOV** and **MXF OP1a** containers.
* **H.265 10-bit and 8-bit YUV 4:2:2** encoding is **GPU-only** and requires **macOS 12.3+** with **Apple Silicon**.
* **macOS GPU decoding/encoding of ProRes** and **decoding of ProRes RAW** requires **Apple Silicon** with a **ProRes hardware engine** and **macOS 12.3 or later**.
