- Added ProRes 4444 high-efficiency mode, the data rate is optimized to 50% of standard ProRes 4444 with marginal compromising on the quality of the image, it also supports ProRes 4444 editing and color grading system. this makes the new codec more efficient than prores 422 hq but with better image quality.

Prores 444 efficiency codec
One of the most striking features of this update is Prores 444 efficiency codec. Its a new sort of compression which reduces file size to about 50% compared to the original Prores 444 filesize, this is smaller than Prores 422HQ, and it will playback on any computer and nle.
As a comparison Prores 444 is 1.5 more data than 422hq. so now the new Prores 444 format is only 75% of prores 422HQ. And image degradation is kind of absent, we will run some deep test but it seems awesome!
