All I see are outdated responses. I see a Humble Bundle deal on video SFX and they say:
"Use these effects in any software that supports ProRes files such as After Effects, Premiere, HitFilm, Vegas, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and more!"
Will iMovie (10.1.14) be able to use these ProRes files?
Thanks in advance

I looked for a pro res 4444 sample on the internet but no success. If you have a friend with Final Cut, he/she could export a sample pro res 4444 clip and send it to you.

I appreciate the response, and it does indeed seem like ProRes 422 format will work. Many of the files being offered in this bundle are ProRes 4444, so I’m not sure about those.
That's a good idea, maybe I can find a ProRes 4444 sample to test with.
Hi, Chris,
I am running iMovie 10.1.12, so an earlier iteration than the one you are asking about.
As a test, I exported a project using the Best (pro res) setting and got a pro res 422 movie on my desktop. I then imported that pro res 422 movie back into the iMovie projec and exported the project again, this time as an Mp4 file. The export was successful.
My conclusion is that since pro res 422 is supported in my earlier iMovie 10.1.12 it should work fine on your iMovie 10.1.14. You can do the same test that I did to confirm.

I'm not sure either. I believe that Final Cut Pro X supports pro res 444. If you can export a pro res 444 movie from Final Cut, or obtain a sample somewhere, you could test. The thing is, there is no pro res 444 export option in iMovie 10.1.12 -- only pro res 422. So you might be able to edit it but not export it in pro res 444 format.

Just wanted to edit a correction. I designated the pro res format as pro res 444. It should be pro res 4444 as you correctly designated it.

Does iMovie (10.1.14) support ProRes files?
