How to play a ProRes file online

Open the player above and choose a ProRes MOV file from your drive. You can also drag the file straight onto the player window.

Playback starts automatically once the file is loaded. The seek bar jumps to any frame and the controls behave like a normal video player. No account is needed and nothing is installed.

Which ProRes formats are supported

The following profiles are tested and decode correctly:

  • ProRes 422 Proxy
  • ProRes 422 LT
  • ProRes 422
  • ProRes 422 HQ
  • ProRes 4444
  • ProRes 4444 XQ

Files usually arrive in MOV containers from cameras and editing software such as Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. MKV files with ProRes tracks also read correctly. ProRes RAW is not supported.

Why ProRes usually does not play in browsers

Browsers do not come with a ProRes decoder, which is why ProRes files usually show as unplayable.

This page loads its own decoder, so the file plays right in your browser and never leaves your device.

Does my video get uploaded

No. The file is read locally and decoded on your device. Nothing is uploaded and no server processes the footage. If you want to verify this, load a file and then disconnect from the network. Playback keeps working.

ProRes 422 and ProRes 4444 support

All four ProRes 422 profiles play correctly: Proxy, LT, 422 and 422 HQ. ProRes 4444 plays as well, including transparency where the file has it.

This is a preview tool, not a color critical reference monitor. For color decisions use a calibrated display with grading software that supports proper monitoring.
