I think this actually could be possible.  If you ignore the two least 
significant bits, then the image would still look correct, just lacking 
precision.

Looking at the source code here, I see that PRORES_BITS_PER_SAMPLE is defined 
as 10.  So it sounds like ffmpeg simply decodes all ProRes as 10-bit.  I would 
like to request the option to decode ProRes with 12-bit precision, but 
unfortunately I do not have any programming knowledge to contribute.
