Getting Started
Overview
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create is a QuickTime Codec(Encode Only) that enables you to encode QuickTime AVC-Intra MOV
files** from 3rd party applications that support QuickTime.
IMPORTANT: This version of software (v2.0 or greater) will require a new Software License and an upgrade fee if
you had purchased a Software License for a previous version.
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create supports encoding to the following QuickTime AVC-Intra Compression Types**:
The stand-alone Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Options application is only used to license the software or embed metadata
into the MOV file after encoding – all of the options for Calibrated AVC-Intra Create codec can only be set within the
application using Calibrated AVC-Intra Create (see Chapter 2: Encode Options).
**Encoding Sony XAVC video is not supported by Calibrated AVC-Intra Create – only Panasonic P2 AVC-Intra
.MOV files will be encoded by Calibrated AVC-Intra Create.
DEMO MODE Limitation
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create will have watermarks of the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Logo burned into any encoded
video when running in DEMO MODE. This is the only DEMO MODE limitation – everything else is fully functional. The
burned in DEMO MODE watermarks cannot be removed from the encoded video. After ordering and licensing
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create you will have to re-encode any files that you had created while running the software
in DEMO MODE. Using the software in DEMO MODE is for testing only and should not be used for commercial purposes.
DEMO MODE Limitation of the post-encode feature: You can only add MetaData to AVC-Intra MOV files created by
the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create codec. In LICENSED MODE you can add MetaData to any Apple generated AVC-Intra
MOV file.
Please note that if you are rendering using multiple render nodes (i.e. different computers) then each computer would
need it’s own separate license.

Known Issues and Limitations
The following known issues and limitations are associated with Calibrated AVC-Intra Create codec:
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create for Windows will crash if run on a computer system that does not support SSE3
instructions which were introduced in Pentium 4 processors circa 2004 (see the Windows Requirements section).
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create supports encoding from 10-bit YUV422 and 16-bit RGB(A) 444(4)
colorspaces, thus preserving the full bit depth of AVC-Intra, HOWEVER it is up to the application using
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create to send those colorspaces to the codec. Please see the “Enable Colorspace
Watermark” in the Options Chapter to learn how to see what colorspace an application is sending to Calibrated
AVC-Intra Create, and also see the Windows Applications Chapter or Mac OSX Applications Chapter to learn
more about how to configure Calibrated AVC-Intra Create for popular applications.
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.
Encoding Sony XAVC video is not supported by Calibrated AVC-Intra Create – only Panasonic P2 AVC-
Intra .MOV files will be encoded by Calibrated AVC-Intra Create.
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.
Please make sure that you have selected the appropriate AVC-Intra ‘Compression Type’ to match the resolution
of the video you will be encoding from.
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), please see the Windows Application Chapter or the Mac
OSX Application chapter to see how to properly setup the Encode Options for different applications.
Various applications reading/writing from QuickTime can treat QuickTime Gamma differently (which can make
video seem brighter or darker) – please see the Windows Applications Chapter or Mac OSX Applications Chapter
to learn more about how to configure Calibrated AVC-Intra Create for popular applications.
Quicktime Framework cannot write files over 2GB to network volumes (AFP, SMB). Returns -1309
(fileBoundsErr).
AVC-Intra 50 and Adobe products: In Adobe After Effects 10.0/10.5, Premiere Pro CS5.0/5.5, Adobe Media
Encoder CS5.0/CS5.5 when encoding to AVC-Intra 50 compression types, you should set the resolution and PAR
to match that of the AVC-Intra 50 format you are encoding to. This is because the Adobe software embeds a
proprietary metadata tag in the MOV file. If you attempt to encode a AVC-Intra 50 MOV file using 1920x1080 or
1280x720 Square Pixels – the file would be encoded correctly and other non-Adobe software should import them
correctly; however the Adobe software products ‘see’ the AVC-Intra 50 MOV file as 1440x1080 or 960x720 with a
PAR of 1.00; instead of having a PAR of 1.333. This is because Adobe products would get the PAR information
from their proprietary metadata tag in the MOV file and not from the MOV file wrapper itself. It is unknown but
assumed that this would be present in other Adobe versions or Adobe products.
Calibrated AVC-Intra Create is for encoding AVC-Intra MOV files only. To view or playback AVC-Intra .MOV files
in applications that support QuickTime, on Windows Computers you need to have Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra
Decode installed on your computer and properly licensed and on Mac OSX Computers you need to have either
FCP7, FCP X, or Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode installed on your computer and properly licensed. Avid Media
Composer 5.5.1 or greater can import AVC-Intra .MOV files natively using AMA Linking. (earlier versions of Avid
MC have not been tested)
There appears to be a very very minor issue when directly exporting from Compressor (i.e. not exporting from a
‘Send to Compressor’ by FCP) when using a 1920x1080 interlaced source file and exporting to a 1440x1080
interlaced PAR 1.33 MOV file and then using the exported file in Adobe software. The exported 1440x1080
interlaced PAR1.33 MOV file will open in Adobe software with a PAR of 1.00 (not PAR 1.33). The issue can be
Page | 8
easily addressed by right-clicking on the MOV file in the Adobe bin and adjusting the properties of the PAR of the
file to 1.33.The exported 1440x1080 interlaced PAR1.33 MOV file opens with the correct PAR1.33 in all other
Apple applications we tested. Also this problem does not appear dependent upon the type of video as we tested
AVC-Intra and ProRes exporting and the issue was present in both. Also the issue is NOT present when exporting
to a 1440x1080 progressive PAR 1.33 file.

Encode Options
Overview
This chapter describes the settings available in the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Options interface.
Important Note: The stand-alone Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Info application is used to let you know whether the
software is running in DEMO MODE or LICENSED and where to download the latest version – all of the encoding options
for Calibrated AVC-Intra Create codec can only be set within the application using Calibrated AVC-Intra Create codec –
look for a ‘settings’ or ‘options’ button in the application using the codec. Please see the ‘Windows Applications’ or ‘Mac
OSX Applications’ chapter for more details.
Options Interface
The Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Options interface contains the version number of the currently installed Calibrated AVCIntra Create and indicates whether the codec is running in DEMO MODE or LICENSED MODE, and where to download
the latest version.
Please note that the encode options are not global but local to the specific application and instance of when you are using
the codec. Important Note: The options can only be set from within the application that is using Calibrated AVC-Intra
Create – look for a ‘settings’ or ‘options’ button in the application. You should always set the options of Calibrated
AVC-Intra Create in the application BEFORE every encode, please see the ‘Windows Applications’ or ‘Mac OSX
Applications’ chapter for more details.
**DEMO MODE Limitation - Calibrated AVC-Intra Create will have watermarks of the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Logo burned into any encoded video
when running in DEMO MODE. This is the only DEMO MODE limitation – everything else is fully functional. The burned in DEMO MODE watermarks
cannot be removed from the encoded video. After ordering and licensing Calibrated AVC-Intra Create you will have to re-encode any files that
you had created while running the software in DEMO MODE. Using the software in DEMO MODE is for testing only and should not be used for
commercial purposes.
