metadata” checkbox.
6. In the Video inspector, click Choose in the “QuickTime settings” area, then choose
either Apple ProRes 4444 or Apple ProRes 4444 XQ from the pop-up menu.
HDR package submissions to the iTunes Store must use the Apple ProRes 4444

submission may fail.

closed captions, alternative audio tracks, and chapter markers; and then building
the package.
Important: Compressor can’t directly submit the package to the iTunes Store. See
About submitting to the iTunes Store in Compressor.
About submitting to the iTunes Store in Compressor
Compressor can’t directly submit a package to the iTunes Store. Most content creators
work with an Apple-approved delivery partner to submit their work to the iTunes Store.
For a list of approved delivery partners, see iTunes Store delivery partners.
Additionally, a complete iTunes Store package consists of both assets and metadata.
Compressor generates a package without some essential metadata such as the title,
synopsis, cast and crew lists, and so on. That data must be submitted via iTunes Connect
by an authorized user (usually the delivery partner).
For details about the submission process, see Create an iTunes Store Package with
Compressor: Quick Start Guide.
To learn more about how to apply for permission to submit directly to the iTunes Store
through iTunes Connect, see the iTunes Connect Movies website.
