Is it common to use prores on the Sony Venice 2?

You know how reds have prores but nobody uses that? I wonder if it's the same for the Venice 2. I remember hearing about people using codecs other than raw on the original Venice though.

I suspect using ProRes on the camera depends on the production's workflow. Many TV dramas use ProRes, so that could be a factor in deciding which way to go.

I've used ProRes 4444 Log on every TV series I've ever shot on Alexas and the Alexa 35 now, except for the occasional raw recording for VFX or some other reason. But I just shot a small feature on the Alexa 35 and we recorded Arriraw.

I know alexas out of the big three brands are ones that people frequently shoot in prores on their higher end models. But I'm just not sure about the others

Bump. Arris, but I don't hear about using prores on reds or the Venice 2, unless someone wants to say to the contrary.

Soooo.... I guess not
