Compressor 3.5.3/4.1.2
Getting Started
1. If you are using Compressor 3.5, please make sure you have Compressor 3.5.3 installed, and if you are using
Compressor 4, please make sure you have Compressor 4.1.2 installed. Earlier versions of Compressor have not
been tested.
2. Please make sure that the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Compressor presets are installed in the folder
For Compressor 3.5.3 use this folder:
/Users/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/Library/Application Support/Compressor/
For Compressor 4.1.2 use this folder:
/Users/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/Library/Application Support/Compressor/Settings
(Please note that is the Library folder from your User directory and you need to install the presets to every user
account that will use the presets)
If the presets are NOT in the above folder, you can manually copy them to that folder from this folder for 3.5:
/Applications/Calibrated/Presets/AVC-I Create/Compressor 3.5/Calibrated AVC-I Create MOV
If the presets are NOT in the above folder, you can manually copy them to that folder from this folder for 3.5:
/Applications/Calibrated/Presets/AVC-I Create/Compressor 4.1/Calibrated AVC-I Create MOV
To clarify, you would copy the folder
‘Calibrated AVC-I Create MOV’ to the Compressor folder for the version you
are using.
Please restart your computer if you had to manually install the presets.
3. For FCP7 Sequences: To preserve the maximum bit depth, please make sur e you have the ‘Render 10-bit
material in high- precision YUV’ selected OR ‘Render all YUV material in high-precision YUV selected in your
FCP7 ‘Sequence Settings’ if you send a sequence to Compressor 3.5.3.
4. Please note that in the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Compressor Presets the ‘Frame Controls’ are turned OFF for
Compressor. This means that the proper field dominance (Upper Field First or Progressive) is assumed to match
the Calibrated AVC-Intra Create Compression Type you are encoding into.
5. 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 of Calibrated AVC-Intra Create.

1. If you’ve already installed our AVC-Intra Create Compressor Presets skip to step 2. If you haven’t installed the

Compressor presets.
2. In the C ompressor ‘Settings’ window, please open the ‘Settings’ tab and navigate to the ‘Custom’ folder.
3. Under the ‘Custom’ folder will be the folder ‘Calibrated AVC-Intra Create – MOV files’, please look under this
folder for the presets. The presets are organized by AVC-Intra 100 or AVC-Intra 50, and under those folders you
