How to open HQ file?
The most common problem when using Apple ProRes 422 HQ Video Format is that a specific HQ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HQ file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Apple QuickTime

Step 2. Create association of Apple QuickTime with HQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HQ file to open in the Apple QuickTime application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple QuickTime application as the default for handling the HQ file.
Step 3. Update Apple QuickTime to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apple QuickTime program, it is possible that Apple ProRes 422 HQ Video Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HQ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HQ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HQ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HQ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HQ file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HQ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HQ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the HQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HQ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HQ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
