QuickTime Player 7.6/7.7


To export to any format you need to have QuickTime Player Pro 7.6/7.7 from Apple

– HOWEVER – due to differences in

how QuickTime Gamma is handled with different QuickTime codecs it is recommend that you do NOT use QuickTime
Player Pro 7.6/7.7 for exporting using Calibrated AVC-Intra Create for OSX.



Other Mac OSX applications


When encoding AVC-Intra MOV files from other Mac OSX applications, please be aware of the following:

1. Even though Calibrated AVC-Intra Create supports encoding from 10-bit YUV422 and 16-bit RGB(A) 444(4)

colorspaces, it is up to the application using Calibrated AVC-Intra Create to send those colorspaces to the codec.
From our research, many applications only support 8-bit RGB(A) colorspaces when encoding to a MOV file. If you
get a ‘codec error’ or ‘encode failure’ message when trying to encode from an application – usually that means
that the application you are encoding from does not support the colorspace you are trying to encode to (i.e most
likely 10-bit YUV422 or 16-bit RGB colorspaces)

2. Various applications reading/writing from QuickTime can treat QuickTime Gamma differently (which can make

video seem brighter or darker).

3. Calibrated AVC-Intra Create does not convert frames from interlaced to progressive or vise-versa, please make

sure that you have selected the appropriate AVC-

Intra ‘Compression Type’ to match the type of video frames you

will be encoding from.

4. Calibrated AVC-Intra Create does not convert the frame rate of video, please make sure that you have selected

the appropriate AVC-

Intra ‘Compression Type’ to match the frame rate of the video you will be encoding from.

5. Always make sure that you have selected the appropriate AVC-

Intra ‘Compression Type’ to match the resolution

of the video you will be encoding from.
