ProRes
workflow

Deliver a single flattened master file in LOG. Streamlined for projects where rushes aren't available or practical.

Late deliveries may result in session postponement or reduced grading time. If anything in this guide is unclear, reach out BEFORE exporting — not after.

Delivery method

  • Physical drive:

    ExFAT formatted, USB-C / USB 3.0 / Thunderbolt.

    Label clearly: DATE – CLIENT – PROJECT – TITLE

  • Digital upload:

    Create a ZIP of the project folder and upload via Google Drive.

  • Large volumes (150 GB+):

    Please GET IN TOUCH to arrange alternative transfer methods.

Timeline preparation

*Everything should be removed and flattened.

  1. Duplicate your timeline — rename to "For Color"

  2. Collapse to 1 video track

  3. De-nest all compound or multicam clips

  4. Flatten grouped clips

  5. Remove all empty audio and video tracks

  6. Remove all graphics, subtitles, supers, transitions, and external effects

  7. Replace proxies with original source media (RAW, ProRes, DNxHR)

  8. Ensure picture is in LOG — remove all LUTs, Lumetri, or colour effects

  9. Maintain final sizing and speed changes
