Page | 29
Final Cut Pro 7
Getting Started
1. Please make sure you have FCP7.0.3 installed (earlier versions of FCP have not been tested)
2. Please make sure that the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create FCP7 presets are installed in the folder
/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Custom Settings
(Please note that is the Library folder from your Main HardDrive NOT the Library folder in your User directory)
If the presets are NOT in the above folder, please copy the folder
‘Calibrated AVC-I Presets’ from the below
directory
/Applications/Calibrated/Presets/AVC-I Create/FCP7
into the above Custom Settings folder.
Please restart FCP7 if you had to manually install the presets.
3. To preserve the maximum bit depth, please make sur e you have the ‘Render 10-bit material in high-precision
YUV’ selected OR ‘Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV selected in your FCP ‘Sequence Settings’.
4. You can then choose to either manually configure the export setting in FCP7, you can use one of our pre-built
preset t o configure the export settings in FCP7, or you can ‘Send to Compressor’ from FCP7. If you choose to
‘Send to Compressor’ please go to the section ‘Using a Preset Setting for exporting in Compressor ‘ in the
‘Compressor 3.5/4.0’ chapter in this User Guide after sending the job to Compressor on how to best setup the
export.
5. IMPORTANT: FCP7 will automatically use Apple ProRes 422(HQ) as the Compressor when creating a FCP7
Sequence for editing AVC-Intra files. While you can use our AVC-Intra FCP7 Presets as the Compressor in a
FCP7 Sequence when you are editing AVC-Intra files, we do NOT recommend that you do that. The reasons that
we do not recommend that workflow are (a) we have not thoroughly tested our AVC-Intra Create codec when
used as a FCP7 Sequence Compressor, and (b) the Apple ProRes 422(HQ) codec is heavily optimized by Apple
for realtime effects within FCP7.
Using a Preset Setting for exporting in FCP7
1. Calibrated AVC-Intra Create ships with pre-configured Final Cut Pro Presets that can be used in Final Cut Pro
7.0.3 . If you’d like to manually configure the export in FCP7, please go to the next section Manually configuring for
exporting in FCP7
2. If you’ve already installed our AVC-Intra Create FCP7 Presets skip to step 3. If you haven’t installed the presets,
please go to
the above section ‘Getting Started’ to learn how to install our Calibrated AVC-Intra Create FCP7
presets.
3. In the ‘File->Export’ menu options, please choose ‘QuickTime Movie…’

Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra 100 or Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra 50 preset that best matches your sequence resolution,
frame rate, and field type.
