Yes, although we recommend using the standard Apple DV codec instead. When using the DV Toolkit codec, it may be necessary to quit and restart After Effects or Photoshop when changing codecs using the DV Toolkit Controls control panel. Echo Fire “grabs” a codec when the application starts up and may not realize that the codec has changed, so it may continue to use the old one until the application restarts. If you’re using the Echo Fire waveform monitor or vectorscope, make sure that Echo Fire is set to use RGB (0-255) mapping for either the Apple or DV Toolkit “clamped luma/clamped chroma” codec, or set to use ITU.R 601 (16-235) for the DV Toolkit “full luma/clamped chroma” codec. We don’t support the “full luma/full chroma” codec. The Echo Fire settings are in the Echo Fire control strip module when you hold down the Command key.
