Mac OSX Requirements and Installation
Ensure your Mac meets the following requirements prior to installing Calibrated{Q} MXF Import:
Mac Intel with OSX 10.6.8(Snow Leopard) or 10.7.5(Lion) or 10.8.5(Mountain Lion) or 10.9.4 (Mavericks)
BETA Support ONLY for OS X 10.10 ( Yosemite )
10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite) - Finder Preview (i.e. QuickLooks), QT Player X does not fully work with our
software.
IMPORTANT for Mountain Lion (10.8) and Mavericks (10.9): QuickTime Player X is not supported. You can
download QuickTime Player 7 from Apple here
and it will install into
the /Applications/Utilities folder and can co-exist fine with QT Player X on the same computer.
QuickLook (Finder Preview)
(1) Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) and Lion 10.7.5: Calibrated MXF QuickLook plugin does not function
properly in OSX 10.8 or 10.7.5; however it appears to not be needed in OSX 10.8 or 10.7.5 as
those versions of OSX will call the Calibrated{Q} MXF Import component to ‘preview’ MXF
files in Finder. So starting with v2.3.0 the QuickLook plugin is not installed by the installer, if
you had installed a previous version of Calibrated{Q} MXF Import in OSX 10.8 or 10.7.5, it is
recommended to manually uninstall the Calibrated MXF QuickLook plugin by going to the
/Library/QuickLook folder and deleting the CalibratedMXFQL.qlgenerator plugin and then
restarting your computer.
(2) Mavericks (OSX 10.9) and Yosemite (10.10): QuickLook (Finder Preview) does not work
properly with MXF files. If the Calibrated MXF QuickLook component is NOT installed, then
there will be no thumbnail or video preview of a MXF file in Finder. If the Calibrated MXF
QuickLook component IS INSTALLED then you will only get a thumbnail of a MXF file but you
will not get a video preview. This has been reported to Apple.
QuickTime 7.6.6 or higher
Final Cut Pro X (v10.0.6 or greater)*, Final Cut Pro 6.0.6* or greater OR Final Cut Pro 7.0.3*, Compressor 3.5/4
OR Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs are required to decompress XAVC, AVC-Intra, DVCProHD, IMX, and XDCAM
HD video contained in MXF files. Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs should NOT be installed on any Mac computer
with any version of Final Cut Pro.
