# 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.
***
#### **Copy, Paste, Reset Settings**
Right-click the **ProRes Properties** section header to:
* **Copy** the current settings
* **Paste** settings from a previously copied file
* **Reset** all properties to default values
> Actions apply to all selected **ProRes 4444 / 4444 XQ** files in the **File List Window**.
