In order to use certain Pro video codecs on Mac – you need to use Apple’s Pro Video Format’s installer – (version 2.03 available here<\/a>\u00a0– or click here<\/a> to google search for the latest version when this post is outdated) – however – there’s a catch!<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>If you don’t have Final Cut Pro, Motion or Compressor (all paid apps) – you won’t be able to install them. This means you can’t use:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Apple Intermediate Codec
\n\u2022 Apple ProRes
\n\u2022 AVC-Intra
\n\u2022 DVCPRO HD
\n\u2022 HDV
\n\u2022 XDCAM EX \/ HD \/ HD422
\n\u2022 MPEG IMX
\n\u2022 Uncompressed 4:2:2<\/p>\n

These codecs are necessary for use in third party apps such at the 64bit version of VDMX, or with Adobe Premiere or After Effects. If you install them, they will also enable the ability to view Pro Video codecs with QuickLook and Quicktime Player X – so convenient – surely there must be a way to pull them out of the installer without paying for the Pro Apple Apps?<\/p>\n

Enter Pacifist<\/a> – this piece of software lets you extract elements out of the .pkg installer files that come with some software.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download Pacifist<\/li>\n
  2. Open the ProVideoFormats.pkg found in the dmg you downloaded from Apple<\/li>\n
  3. Once open, you can see that the package contains everything you need\"Screen<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Now you\u00a0can just select the top option “Contents of ProVideoFormats.pkg” and then click “Install” in the upper left and it will install it in the intended locations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    And that’s it! Now you should be able to use Pro Res and other pro formats in Quicktime Player X and QuickLook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
