Do it in Eddie
The Eddie desktop app can render ProRes 4444.
A desktop ProRes 4444 render costs 300 credits; a desktop MP4 costs 10. For a Premiere finish, export the timeline to Premiere instead and master from there.
Back to Premiere
Open the edit, click Export and choose Premiere. You get a Premiere project (.prproj) or the older Premiere XML. In the desktop app, Send to Premiere Pro builds the edit inside Premiere through Eddie's panel, which the app installs for you.
If you imported the footage through the desktop app, the timeline points at your original camera files, so Premiere relinks to them. If you uploaded on the web or pulled from cloud storage, it points at Eddie's proxy media; relink to those, not to the camera originals.
