Apple avc-intra codec?

Hey there, I just got some quicktime .movs that will not open on my mac. The codec is Apple AVC-Intra. Final Cut wont recognize it, nor does quicktime. I'm running FCP 6.06 and Quicktime 10 on Snow Leopard. I've found a codec but only for older versions of FCP. I believe the footage was shot on an HVX300.
Usually when I get this codec, i think its from P2 cards, which log n transfer works with. But these are in quicktime movie form, like they have been transcoded already.

Sorry, that codec is only available with FCP 7. You will have to get the client to injest the footage as ProRes, or get the originals to you so that you can do the same.
I find it odd for people to choose that codec anyway, as FCP doesn't have sequence settings for that one...not even in FCP 7.

AVC INTRA CODEC is not working

Im using a dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5 8GB ram OSX 10.4.11 and FCP studio 2 w/all the latest
updates.
I get a WARNING " AVC-intra codec is unsuported on PPC" when I try to log and transfer
a avc 100 file from my 32GB P2 card .
I downloaded the codec from panasonic but its not working.
I read that it need to have an intel based mac, is this true?

*I read that it need to have an intel based mac, is this true?*
Application-Specific Requirements
Final Cut Pro
Capturing HD resolution video using the ProRes 422 format requires a Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon processor or a G5 Quad computer and a qualified third-party capture card.
*AVCHD support is only available on Intel based Macs.*

Unable to install AVC-Intra codec

I'm trying to play a file created on a Panasonic P2 camera using the new AVC-Intra codec. I downloaded Pro Apps Quicktime Codec from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396. Specs say it requires OS X 10.5.6 or later and QT 7.6 or later.
I have a Mac running OSX 10.5.8 and QT 7.7 (1680.25). It is an old PowerPC G5, but everything about the system meets the published specs I've seen for running this codec. I haven't seen anywhere that an Intel Mac is required, which is the only "gotcha" I am able to imagine at this point.
ProAppsQTCodec will not install by clicking on the .pkg file, but in researching on the net, I saw that this was a common complaint and that using the program "Pacifist" to install was recommended. Installing the codecs via Pacifist did work, but the AVC-Intra .mov files in Quicktime Player play only audio with a black screen.
I went to the Genius Bar yesterday and the Tech tried several (to me) exotic methods of dealing with the problem, including a Network boot and manually re-installing the codecs. The result was the same, audio-only playback.
The files are good; they play back correctly on a more current Intel Mac system in both Final Cut Pro 7 and in Quicktime.
For what it's worth, I had originally intended to use these files on my 4-year old Intel Mac, but neither Final Cut Pro (version 6.0.6), the operating system (OSX 10.4.11) or Quicktime (7.6.4) which have served me well in every situation other than dealing with these P2 files, seem to be upgradeable at this point. :-(
I'm at a loss how to proceed on this and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
--Dave

The calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode allowed me to view the files in Quicktime, but as far as I was able to determine, not to use them in Final Cut Pro 6. We spent a morning at the 'Genius Bar' puzzling through things, but although the machine, the OS and the QT version all met the published spec for this software, and it looks like it *might* have worked, it would have involved some work-arounds. I finally decided to try to update the Intel machine instead.I was not able to do it on my own, but they were able to beat it into submission at the bar. After several hours on each of two additional days at the Apple Store, they were able to update the OS on my Intel Mac enough to allow me to install Panasonic's AVC-Intra codec. Apple's own ProAppsQTCodecs is supposed to allow these P2 files to play on this machine, but it didn't. I'm currently in the process of re-Log&Transfer-ing everything into FCP6 successfully.

AVC Intra Codec QT not playing

Hi, I just received footage in QT from a third party that I can't seem to play, neither on FCP or QT. The footage is in AVC Intra 100M Codec, I've downloaded the Panasonic P2 AVC Intra Codec, but still....no luck. Any ideas? Should I use compressor? I'm running FCP 6....
Thanks.

You need at least FCP 7 to see the AVCIntra QT codec. Otherwise, you need the people to convert it to ProRes.

Panasonic AVC Intra codec and FCP 2

Does anyone know if the latest version of FCP supports the new AVC Intra codec found on the higher-end Panasonic P2 HD cameras? We're a production house, and are considering investing in the Panasonic AJ-HPX3000 P2 HD camera, which is starting to ship this month. I know FCP Studio 2 supports the ProRes 422 codec; I'm wondering if we would have to convert the footage from the HPX3000 to ProRes 422 so it could be edited in FCP, and how long that process would take. Thanks!

If the camera does component or sdi out, you can use a Kona3 or io hd to convert to ProRes422 during real time playback.

Does FCP support the new Panasonic AVC Intra codec?

Does FCP support the new Panasonic AVC Intra codec?
NOT AVCHD but AVC Intra?
Will it require more rendering or converting before I can use it?
I am looking at buying the HPX-2000 with the new AVC Intra board, recording to P2. AVC Intra is H.264 codec.

I don't think this is supported yet.. but the camera's ability to shoot DVCPROHD certainly is.

Premier 4.1 Update and AVC-Intra codec

I am very interested in when Adobe is going to release support for Panasonic's professional codec, AVC-Intra 100. We love Premier but use the AVC-Intra codec now almost exclusively (along with RED). We understood from NAB that Premier was working natively with AVC-Intra codec and that it was likely going to be included in the big 4.1 update.
Any news Adobe gurus? This would be a huge help to many studios.
Cheers.

Let me start by saying that I don't have any more info then most on this site, but I disagree with you, Eddie.
If I had to bet, I'd say we see AVC-Intra in another update before the years out. I think we're a long way from CS5 (maybe NAB 2010 timeframe?), and for the presets to be there now tells me that they are working on it...they were showing it at NAB so they can't be that far off.
CS3 had quite a few updates, and CS4 has only had 2 so far. I think it's within the realm of possibility that we could see another update or two...hopefully one that fixes the program monitor freeze issue.
And as for Adobe announcing patches, they very rarely seem to do that - it seems like we hear about them no to long before they come out.
Again, you could be completely right. Who knows. But I tend to think it'll be soon...but not soon enough for many of us waiting for it.

Avid Supports Panasonic AVC-Intra Codec

New editing solutions from Avid offer import and native editing support for Panasonic's AVC-Intra codec.
C'mooooooon Adobe CS4! Daddy needs a new camera...

AVC Intra Codec Problem

Has anyone found an link to download AVC Intra from Panasonic. Apple says update supports it but need to obtain codec from Panasonic and I can't find it anywhere. Any help pointing me to the correct download site would be very much apreciated.

Audio-Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 by using long Clips in AVC-Intra Codec (4Gb Border)

Hello
We own a Panasonic camera (AJ-PX5000G) and we film in 1080p50 with the AVC-Intra100 Codec. When importing longer clips in Premiere Pro, the video is fully loaded, but the waveform of the sound ends at the Time Code 00:02:28:35.
Sometimes the sound could be played after this Timecode but otherwise there is no audio. Even if we use the same clip several times we see that it works sometimes and sometimes not. It looks random.
We also tried to import the Clips with Adobe Prelude directly from the P2-Card but there are the same problems.
The Clips in 1080p50 AVC-Intra100 have a bitrate of 227Mbps. After 2 Minutes and 28 Seconds 4Gb are written on the P2-Card and the Camera starts a new picture file and 4 sound files..
It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro has problems with the correct relation of the files that all get together to one clip.
Is there anybody who can confirm this problem? Can anybody help me with this Premiere Problem?

Can anybody help?

Does Premiere suport the Panasonic AVC-Intra codec?

I'm thinking about renting a HPX-2000 or the new Varicam 2700 because I want to play with 10bit 4:2:2 native files for an upcoming music video with lots of greenscreen and color correction.
Anyone have any experience with it? We're talking about going RED for it but I need other options for the bid.

Doesn't appear to right now. That was one of the bullet points in the literature pre-release, but it looks like it was canned for the time being. I would imagine we'll see it at some point in CS4--maybe the next point update?--but I wouldn't bet on that horse.
Panasonic does have a transcode module for FCP, that'll turn AVC-I into ProRes422. You could then install the ProRes422 decoder for Windows (I guess I'm assuming you're on Windows) and edit those in PPro--the decoder actually works pretty well, in my limited testing. Granted, it's not a native solution, but a solution, nonetheless. RED and the beta importer might be the better option.
EDIT: Another option would be to download and install the demo of Grass Valley Edius, which natively supports AVC-Intra. You could transcode to whatever you wanted, then--like Avid DNxHD, for example. Again, not native--but what can you do? :)

FinalCut Pro and AVC-Intra

When is Apple going to release the AVC-Intra codec for FinalCutPro
NAB 2007
Panasonic AVC-Intra
AVC comes from MPEG-4 Part 10 H.264, now often referred to as just
AVC (Advanced Video Coding). AVC is about twice as efficient as MPEG-2, meaning that comparable HD video quality can be achieved at half the bitrate (AVC-Intra at 50Mbps = MPEG-2 Intra at 100Mbps). Panasonic states that AVC-Intra-50 achieves approx. the same compressed HD quality as their DVCPRO-HD (100Mbps). Their AVC-Intra-100 (100Mbps) achieves approx. the same compressed HD quality as Panasonic's famous master quality D5HD video tape recorder format. Thus, Panasonic in 2007 will offer two (2) truly professional intra-frame HD compression modes in their new HD camcorders: High quality ENG and broad market EFP with AVC-Intra-50 and network origination quality EFP with AVC-Intra-100.

Its against the forum's terms of use to speculate about future Apple developments. If anyone knew, they couldn't say. But don't worry ... you can always find out as soon as it's released or included in an update by checking here often (especially around NAB time).

AVC-Intra help, please:-)

Please Help me.
I have big problems with AVC-Intra 100, when I select sequence AVC-Intra 720p 25p inside CS4 Premiere 4.2.1 and drag some clip onto the timeline it becomes red and all 4 sound tracks are completely empty of sound without any peak drew up. Then out of nowhere without any reason, some of it appears, some of the sound and then completely disappear again (randomly).
The video is also not playing without stuttering and without all frames intact (25frames/sec) more like 12frames/sec???
All this is the same when I try to render out a master, stuttering video and no sound.
When I look at the same files inside my HPX301 the files are playing just fine with perfect sound so it’s not the recorded files that are wrong.
System mode: 720-50p.
Rec Format: AVC-I 100 /25pn.
This computer is flying with big, big complex projects of 10 bits Cineform files so it’s not the computer that can’t handle it (this is with CS3 Premiere 3.2 on another disk thougt).
Now is CS5 better to handle the AVC-Intra codec then CS4?
My computer setup:
Processor: Intel i7920.
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2.
Ram: Corsair 12GB 1600MHz.
C drive: Intel SSD G2 80GB with Windows Vista64 Ultimate.
Raid Card: Adaptec 3085.
Raid Disk: 4 x 1000GB in a raid 5 for video with Adaptec.
Graphic card: ATI/AMD 5870
Best Regards

I use "CS4 Premiere 4.2.1", so is there any solution on this in CS4 or is CS5 better to handle AVC-Intra????

AVC Intra support and suggestions

We are in the market for a new camera, and we want to stay panasonic to match our existing library, mostly footage shot on an HDX900. We are debating on the HPX2000 or another HDX900. We understand they are very comparable in quality with an slight(?) edge going to 2000 with the AVC Intra codec.
The question comes down to FCP. I know it supports AVC-I to an extent in that must be transcoded to ProRes. I read that the transcode takes about 2 x realtime. We have a Mac Pro 2.66 dual core with 6 GB Ram writing out to a SATA RAID tower, does that still seem accurate?
I don't know if FCP has any plans to run AVC-I natively anytime soon. So would anyone with any AVC-I experience please let me know if it the transcode is worth my time?
Thanks.

So would anyone with any AVC-I experience please let me know if it the transcode is worth my time?
Yeah...definately worth your time. The 2000 and AVCintra...vs the 2000 and DVCPRO HD is night and day. 10 bit codec vs 8-bit DVCPRO HD...your colorist will LOVE you. And you will see the difference.
And this is what assistants are for...paid less to do all of the grunt work.

Motion Renders GREEN! 1080p 24p AVC Intra Blues??

I shot a commercial using a Panasonic HPX 3000 with the AVC INTRA codec at 1080p 24p. I sent it from FCP to Motion, tweaked it, then round tripped back to FCP, rendered and the entire image is GREEN. Please help. Deadline looming.

hi,
welcome to the posts.
Have you tried exporting out of motion, either through compressor or as a direct export and importing that clip into fcp. If you have a deadline then this might help you meet it. I had a motion project yesterday that fcp could not render without crashing. Dont think compressor liked it either, had to export from motion as an uncompressed 10 bit and fcp was happy. Think it had something to do with the four emitters I had running, shouldnt be a problem really though.
