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?

Why not just leave the footage as MP4? There's no advantage to uploading Prores if you're just converting from MP4 to Prores. And your uploads are going to take longer since you'll have larger files.

if your original file is using a 10bits codec, then you can do your customers a favor by converting and uploading ProRes, since (unfortunately) it's the only universally accepted codec able to preserve 10bits (I use Adobe Encoder, which is part of the free package offered by AS).
If your original file is 8 bits, it doesn't matter.

But I don't think that the vast majority of buyers will care too much about the codec. They will look for the right content first.

Legal. Everything that is not prohibited is legal.
