Puzzle #5 · Standard · 5 params

ProRes · Bitrate 150M · 1080p · PCM · MOV

The scenario

Post-production dailies for a Netflix Original series. ProRes HQ (profile 3) at 150 Mbps for color grading in DaVinci Resolve, PCM audio to preserve full dynamic range, MOV container as the industry standard interchange format.

The answer

Video CodecProRes
Bitrate150M
Resolution1080p
AudioPCM
ContainerMOV

The command

ffmpeg -i input.mxf -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -b:v 150M -c:a pcm_s24le output.mov

Why

ProRes has no CRF mode — it uses fixed profiles (Proxy, LT, Standard, HQ, 4444, 4444 XQ). Profile 3 (HQ) targets ~220 Mbps for 1080p@24fps but allows bitrate override for specific delivery requirements.
