RE: [Avid-L2] Does Avid still require FCP install to export ProRes on a Mac Avid 7.0.4?

When you run it on a mac without FCP or compressor etc it halts the install and tells you which disks it can't install on. So if you don't have one of those programs on there then you can't install it. I needed the xdcam codec the other day and tried this on a mac with just Avid and got nowhere.

That doesn't do the trick. You need to go here; they are free but you probably need something to host them. I have never tried just installing Avid MC on a Mac and then running this; might work.

Alternatively, a trial installation of FCP-X should give you the codecs, which should remain even if you trash the app.

Nice trick I learned, to get all the "Pro" codecs on a Mac for AVID to export to QuickTime... Just install Qmaster node. It's the small piece of software that allows you to use networked based rendering in FCP 7 and before. You don't have to enable network rendering. It doesn't require a license or QuickTime Pro to install. You will now have all the codecs FCP is compatible with, without having to install a pro license of anything. I don't know if it comes with FCPX.

It's one of the stand-alone installers on just about any version of FCP install disks. Takes just a few minutes.

I don't think so. Just transcode or mixdown to ProRes inside MC, then export QT Same as Source or QT Reference.

If you want to be able to select ProRes as a Custom QT codec, then yes, it needs to be installed, and that might very well still be linked to having the Pro codecs installed.

I did a little googling and it seems that the only way to be able to export ProRes from Avid is to have some form of FCP installed.
