ProRes RAW for Windows 1.3 is a lightweight codec package published by Apple that extends the native video pipeline on Microsoft-operated workstations, allowing editors, colorists, and VFX artists to open, decode, and scrub ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ footage directly inside compatible Adobe Creative Cloud tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder without prior transcoding. By installing the 1.3 release, the operating system receives a certified decoder that preserves the 12-bit, high-dynamic-range sensor data captured by ARRI, Atomos, Blackmagic, DJI, and other cameras that record to Apple’s broadcast-quality raw format, thereby safeguarding highlight recovery, white-balance latitude, and ISO adjustments throughout post-production. Typical use cases include offline editorial on location, proxy generation for remote collaboration, HDR finishing in Rec. 2020 color space, and round-trip workflows that hand footage to DaVinci Resolve or Baselight while maintaining consistent image fidelity. Because the component operates as a background codec rather than a stand-alone application, it integrates transparently with existing media browsers, project panels, and export queues, eliminating the need for additional plugins or metadata management. The single-version installer supports Windows 10 version 1903 or later on 64-bit Intel and AMD systems, requires no user interface configuration, and receives silent updates through Apple Software Update when newer codecs are released. Video professionals categorize the utility as an essential Video Plugin / Codec driver for Windows-centric facilities that exchange files with macOS or iOS teams. ProRes RAW for Windows is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
