You can check it even on Vegas explorer, by 'Right Click>Properties' on the ProRes files.

Scroll down, and you will notice this in VP13 (b453):

Plug-In
  Name: qt7plug.dll
  Folder: C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas Pro 13.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\qt7plug
  Format: QuickTime 7
  Version: Version 13.0 (Build 453)
  Company: Sony Creative Software Inc.

While in the latest VP14 b270:

Plug-In
  Name: mxhevcplug.dll
  Folder: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 14.0\FileIO Plug-Ins\mxhevcplug
  Format: MAGIX ProRes
  Version: Version 1.0 (Build 8532) 64-bit
  Company: MAGIX Computer Products Intl. Co.

Thanks for the replies. My first post here was if VP14 could work with .mov files to which I found out that QT is required to work with .mov files.

I don't have a ProRes 422 file to sample at the moment. I posted this question as part of my research on new cams whose's codecs can work with VP14 natively for next year's projects. I would prefer NOT to install QT. Otherwise, I prefer to go Mac for the 64bit QT and work with an editor that will natively work with ProRes.

So, MAGIX ProRes is 64-bit native?

If you're wanting the best implementation of ProRes support, for now you aren't going to get better than an apple app. Vegas' ProRes works, but there are still a few bugs being worked out here and there. The last update helped, though I'm still having trouble playing 4:4:4 ProResXQ files with audio without the audio dropping out. Rendering the audio to a new track fixed the issue, but none the less it shows that ProRes support is still early on in Vegas.

Vegas is 64 bit native, and if it is using its own decoder for ProRes I imagine that would be as well.

Many thanks for pointing the bugs out, fr0sty.

What new camera that you are possibly planning? Is it BMD Ursa Mini?

Are you a mind reader, set? Yes, you are correct. This is provided that my this year-end's project does well enough for me to justify one

😁

Well, from many choices of affordable ProRes-capable recording cameras / devices, BMD Ursa Mini is the only choice.

For other camcorders, you need an external device like Atomos...

I have been editing an Atomos Ninja 2 recording (usually live-switching multi camera), and VP14's performance along with many updates, has become better.
