QuickTime Plug-Ins extend format support in Mac OS X. Please select the required QuickTime component from the menu below.

AVC-Intra QT is the first AVC-Intra codec for QuickTime and Mac OS X with export and encoding capabilities. The QuickTime export component makes AVC-Intra encoding available in Mac OS X's QuickTime architecture and accessible by every Mac OS X application. The exporter has been optimized to smoothly interface with the new Apple AVC-Intra decoder that is part of Final Cut Studio 3.

Export

AVC-Intra encoding is available in every QuickTime application that provides standard QuickTime export operations. For example AVC-Intra rendering gets enabled in applications such as Adobe After Effects and AVC-Intra encoding is available in Apple Compressor. In addition AVC-Intra QT can be used with our MXF exporters to wrap AVC-Intra directly to standard MXF.

Long-GOP to I-Frame

Every frame counts. Transform your high compressed Long-GOP sources such as HDV, AVCHD or H.264 to the best I-Frame Only full constant bit rate compression available. AVC-Intra is suitable for pristine editing and archiving at up to 100 Mbps.

Final Cut Pro Support

AVC-Intra QT enables Final Cut Pro to set up native AVC-Intra timelines. Intermediate transcoding to Apple's ProRes codec will be avoided and true 10-bit video playout with realtime effects as well as video file export is available. Source media can be both native MXF through our MXF Import QT solution and QuickTime MOV based files from Final Cut Pro's Log and Transfer. Full MXF to MXF round tripping is enabled in combination with MXF Import QT and our export solutions. Also Color 1.5 or later will get enabled to import native AVC-Intra based MXF media files.

Future Proof I-Frame Only CBR

AVC-Intra is a high efficient compression technology that is fully optimized for professional post production workflows and it also works brilliant for MXF streaming operations. The I-Frame only compression uses true constant bit rates resulting in a byte accurate data size for each frame. This enables smart indexing for fast streaming operations with growing files. GC Export FCP creates such fast streaming enabled MXF OP1a files which can be accessed directly while the export process is still ongoing. Like this AVC-Intra covers a broad range of workflows from high quality post production to high efficient broadcast.
