I have a question. Do film agencies or clients check licenses for Prores codecs?
I have some videos in AVC/MP4 format, if I convert the videos to ProRes codecs through non-certified programs like Shutter Encoder or other programs that use the ffmpeg library, is it legal?
Who is responsible for selling movies in ProRes codecs. Film agencies, author or client?
I also have Vegas Pro with certified ProRes codecs but AVC/MP4 movies exported to ProRes are not of good quality with artifacts and not acceptable.
Better image quality is in free or paid converters that do not have a license for ProRes codecs, but what about the license, as Apple writes on its website?
