Currently, there are no free apps that support ProRes recording on the iPad Pro. However, some apps like FiLMiC Pro and Blackmagic Camera offer ProRes recording capabilities, but they require a purchase or subscription to access all features.
1. Blackmagic Camera App: This app allows you to record ProRes video on your iPad Pro, including the 2020 model, but it does not explicitly offer a free version with ProRes support. The app is generally free to download, but it may require specific hardware or settings to enable ProRes recording[1].
2. FiLMiC Pro: This is a popular app for professional video recording on mobile devices. It supports ProRes capture, including various ProRes formats like Proxy, LT, 422, 422 HQ, and 4444. However, FiLMiC Pro is not free; it requires a purchase to access its full features, including ProRes recording[7].
For users looking to record ProRes on their iPad Pro, using a third-party app like FiLMiC Pro is necessary since Apple's native Camera app does not support ProRes recording[2][3]. The Final Cut Pro for iPad does support ProRes editing but does not offer a free app for recording ProRes videos directly[11].
If you are looking for free alternatives, you might consider using other video formats supported by free apps, but for ProRes specifically, a paid app is required.
