Do you have the feeling it helped your color grading, I replaced the footage of a chroma key comp in After Effects. The Original footage was Prores HQ 4:2:2, when I replaced it I had the feeling it expanded the color space, but didn't help me to get thinner hair details in the key. I'm probably expecting too much from it. Keying out white transparent hair of an old lady is not easy. I've got a usable key though.

I don't know if 4:4:4 worth the go, it took my computer 29mins to process for a 7mins 4k clip. Where as HQ 4:2:2 takes my computer 11 mins. I'll probably use it for a bit, especially when I have dolly moves .

​For white/blonde hair a blue screen can be easier to key.

To speed up ProRes 444 with Photon, try setting the Options/ProRes QScale to 6 (to start) and compare time/quality/size while adjusting QScale up/down.

Thanks jcs, I've converted with Qscale set to 2, it took my laptop 9 hours for 6 hours of footage, it seems that it's much quicker when you set max jobs to 4. Final data rate is 162Mbps 

Cheers!
