Adobe Creative Cloud and Apple QuickTime on Windows

Recent security issues related to Apple’s QuickTime 7 on Windows have been of concern to users of Adobe's products on that platform. Adobe announced it has been able to accelerate work that was already in progress to support native reading of ProRes. This new capability is fully licensed and certified by Apple, and barring any unforeseen issues during pre-release, these fixes will be included into an update to the relevant products in Creative Cloud shortly.

Additionally, Adobe is planning on adding native export support to .mov wrapped files of DNxHD and DNxHR. This support will augment the currently supported import of DNxHD and DNxHR in .mov and .mxf and native export in .mxf. Similarly, in an effort to allow as many legacy files to be supported as possible Adobe Creative Cloud applications will also be supporting the reading of AAC Audio and PNG Compressed frames and the reading/writing of Animation frames. When these fixes are released most Windows users will have a seamless workflow for virtually all popular codecs even with QuickTime removed from the computer; however, Adobe anticipates that some older, less used legacy formats may not be directly supported and therefore no longer be accessible. Users may need to find a method of transcoding their legacy media.
