Special Note: Adobe CS Performance Enhancement
If you are using the following Adobe CS 5/5.5/6/CC/CC2014 Applications:
After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Encore
decoding performance of Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs can be greatly enhanced by installing an Adobe XML patch file
that we’ve created. The XML patch file enables the above Adobe applications to decode from the Calibrated{Q} Decode
codecs at 8-bit YUV422 or 10-bit YUV422* colorspace which will greatly improve decode performance in the above Adobe
applications.
*10-bit YUV422 support is intended for Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode when working with AVC-Intra files.
You can download the XML patch file here
Special Note: CatDV
IMPORTANT: If you experience any problems in creating proxies and/or playback in CatDV, please enable Protected
Mode in CatDV. To enable 'Protected Mode', go to the CatDV Preferences and select 'Media Playback' and then check
the option 'Protected player: Use separate QuickTime helper process'. Playback performance is a little less smooth in
‘Protected Mode’ but it will be more stable. Also, in newer versions of CatDV you may wish to also disable the ‘scrub
audio when dragging play head’ option in the ‘Media Playback’ CatDV Preferences to make scrubbing in CatDV faster.
