# Pro Media Support

> ProRes, DNxHD/DNxHR, Blackmagic RAW, and MXF, played directly in the browser

Kino plays professional camera and post-production formats directly in the browser, on decoders we built ourselves. The files your camera or Avid workflow produces play as-is. There is no transcode step before you can work.

## Codecs

| Codec                  | Support                                                                                              |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Apple ProRes**       | Every variant: 422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422, 422 HQ, 4444, and 4444 XQ, including alpha in the 4444 family |
| **Avid DNxHD / DNxHR** | All common profiles, including Avid's private-label variants                                         |
| **Blackmagic RAW**     | All compression settings, constant bitrate and constant quality                                      |
| **REDCODE RAW**        | Modern RED cameras: V-RAPTOR, KOMODO, and the RED2 generation. Older RED sensors are not supported   |
| **H.264 / HEVC**       | Through the browser's built-in decoders, including when wrapped in MXF                               |
| **Motion JPEG**        | Legacy camera and archive footage                                                                    |

Scrubbing stays fast even on 6K RAW, all in the browser.

## Containers

A container is not a codec: MXF is a wrapper, and DNxHD is one of the things you find inside it. Kino handles both layers.

| Container                  | Support                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **MXF**                    | OP1a and OP-Atom — the per-track flavor Avid Media Composer writes and almost nothing else reads — with frame- and clip-wrapped essence and Avid's private essence keys. Carries DNxHD/DNxHR, ProRes, H.264, and HEVC video with PCM (AES3/Wave) audio |
| **QuickTime (.mov)**       | ProRes, DNx, Motion JPEG, H.264, HEVC                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Blackmagic RAW (.braw)** | BRAW clips exactly as the camera writes them                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| **REDCODE RAW (.r3d)**     | R3D clips from supported RED cameras, straight off the card                                                                                                                                                                                            |

These formats play natively. Exports render to delivery formats (H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1, and ProRes) — Kino reads BRAW and R3D, it does not write them.

Consumer containers (MP4, MKV, WebM, MPEG-TS, the MPEG program stream family) plus all audio and image formats are listed in [What formats does Kino support?](/docs/faq/faq-what-formats)
