Black Magic Codec

I'm working with film material digitized from DigiBeta on a hard disk.
Now I wanted to render and export it, but Final Cut says me:
"Codec was not found. Perhaps you are using a compressor without the necessary software"
The technician who made the digitizing told me to download the "Black Magic Codec" for Final Cut.
But where can I find it?
Can anyone help me about this problem?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry. Maybe I didn't have anything on my clipboard when I pasted?
Anyway, it was supposed to link to a short Cow thread, because there were instructions about what to do when one reached the BM site. Should work now.

  • Quicktime not playing black magic codec files, or avi

    Hello!
    I'm on a new macbook pro (17"). my friend on an older mac laptop can play back a quicktime file in the player that has the blackmagic codec, but I cannot.
    I can open the file and play it in final cut pro, I can see it in shake, but I can't play it back in the quicktime player. it shows up all white, but does list the codec as being the black magic 10 bit uncompressed codec.
    I've downloaded the codec from black magic, and dropped it in /library/quicktime, but I'm not getting any result.
    I've also tried "touching" the quicktime folder like they recommend, but nothing's working.
    quicktime's also not playing back avi files, but I know that can be a bigger issue.
    Any ideas?
    thanks!
    -Josh

    The Blackmagic Software Codec.component I just downloaded today show it to be PowerPC. Your Intel Mac needs a Universal version or else you need to run using Rosetta.
    Your .avi issue is probably the same reasons.

  • No preview codec, crashing on start up, no audio with black magic, asking for serials

    Hello,
    I have 4 issues with Premiere CC. At work we have a school license of some sort, what I know we got a special design one from the  sales team (I might be wrong).
    The problems we have runned into are:
    1. We students try to open a project they been working on a error screen popps up and says something like "No preview codec could be associated with this sequence...."
    I think this happens when students have merged audio and video toghether.
    2. I got some help from the tech support and they made some changes in the libiry in one of the editing rooms computers and reinstalled premiere Pro CC.
    It seemed as everything was working until I opened premiere CC the day after, and it asks me for a serial key. I tried putting in the serials we got and non of them worked.
    I also tried logging on to the account we have and it still asks me for the serials. And when I try starting in in trail mode I can't playback anything.
    3. In another editing room Premiere was crashing on start up, so I was told by the tech support to uninstall all adobe softwares and update my mac OsX and then reinstall the softwares needed. It worked but if i save projects and try to open them up Premiere CC craches.
    4. On computers using black magic deck link I can't get audio out from premiere pro.
    I would really appreicate if I could get some more support.
    Thank You

    Hello again,
    So the sound issue is solved, so for other users with the same problem I will write down my way of making it work.
    I read some time ago that someone made it work by starting AE and in AE more choices were avalible in the audio prefrences, but this didn't work for me but it might for some, thats why I write it here.
    I took this a step futher and I opened up Audition CC, and in Audition CC the sound worked just fine and it was automatically set to black magic.
    After I had open Audition CC I was then able  to select Premiere Pro 7.0 as the sound output in the Apple system settings sound prefrences.
    Then the sound worked fine in AE and PP. Should also note that when I did it as said in the manual I didn't get it to work.
    The preview preset issue is some what solved, I reinstalled premiere and upgrade my OSX as written above. First time I installed Creative Cloud I did it from a build from a hardrive I think that some how made it so creative cloud could not reach premiere correctly???
    Although I still have the problem with serial numbers sometimes and I have to be logged on wich is don't work if i try to log on with the account on two or more computers.. Even thou we have a school license, so I still appreciate all help I can get with this.
    I will also add that I heard that strange things can happen if users install apples latest ProApp QuickTime Codec 1.0.4 so watch out for that one at the moment, I sure adobe will fix this soon as well

  • What composition settings for  Black Magic 10 bits AVI 1920x1080 (1,0) 25p

    Hi,
    I want to use some  Black Magic 10 bits AVI 1920x1080 (1,0) 25p footage and wonder what settings I have to use in the Composition Settings Dialog Box.
    Thanks! David

    Change the project settings to 16 or 32 bit. Drag some footage into the create new comp icon at the bottom of the Project Panel.
    Your composition will exactly match the clip. If you check composition settings you'll see:
    Or you could just use the HDTV 25 preset. All the standard settings are supported.
    You'll probably want to create a custom output module for your blackmagic codec and set that to be the default. Remember to include audio processing if it's important to your workflow.
    Here's mine:

  • Upgrading from 4.5 to 5.0 w/Black Magic

    I have attempted a FCP upgrade from 4.5 to 5.0. I have a Black Magic Decklink video card and have installed the newest version 5 from their website. I can open FCP 5, however I do not have Sony PVW-2800 deck control nor can I select any of my A/V settings to be that of Black Magic. When I first installed FCP 5, a warning came up saying that I did not have the right codec. What in the world is going on?

    Did you install the Black Magic upgrade after the FCP upgrade? I believe FCP 5 needs to be in place first.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Issues with AJA and Black Magic

    Has anyone had any issues outputting via AJA and Black Magic cards?
    I have 3 Macs using Black Magic Intesnsity Pro HDMI cards and 1 Mac using an AJA IO Express. On all the machines, i get weird audio issues intermitantly. I press play, no audio comes out. I stop, press play again, no audio comes out but the PP VU meter is registering. I stop, and press play again, and i hear distortion coming from my speakers, i stop and play again, and everything is fine. These issues are consitantly happening, but not necisarily in that order. I also get out of sync audio, then stop and press play again, and its all good.
    I fell as though i have narrowed it down to being between PP and the IO cards, because if i turn the cards off in PP, my audio is fine everytime.
    I have the propper Premiere Pro drivers (for AJA) and all the latest firmware and drivers for black magic. I am playing Quicktime media, usually Apple Pro Res hq or 444. IO and data rate with same codecs works perfectly in FCP. I have also tried using media that is local as opposed to on our server.
    Has anyone had issues with this? Is this a known bug with in PP? Will it ever get fixed???
    Thanks.

    I have expereinced this issue on my Mac Pro right before I switched to a PC.
    Call AJA Support. They are there to help you!

  • Black Magic Intensity Pro Card

    I'm in the process of purchasing a Mac Pro to use for my New Wedding Video Business. I have purchsed the New Sony HVR-HD1000. I'm looking to get everything at one time and something has me very confused. I hope that someone can please help me.
    As I understand it. I take my New Sony HD Cam via Firewire800 and Final Cut Studio will just suck it all in.
    If thats the case, What is the need for products such as the "Black Magic Intensity Pro Card"?
    Do I need it when my Mac Pro/Final Cut will import my footage anyways?
    Please help me make a sound decision.
    Thank you for your time.

    A few things to remember:
    The best resolution you will get with your HD camcorder is to record LIVE from the camera to the Intensity card connected via HDMI. No compression (HD to HDV) will occur in the camera before the computer sees it. You can either record uncompressed (best) or have FCP/Premier record with a codec (422, etc.). 422HQ is supposed to be "visually" the same as uncompressed HD but requires significantly less space. Recording HD uncompressed REQUIRES Raid disk setups. Depending on your setup, you may require Raid with with 422. The down side for this highest resolution mode is you MUST have your computer hooked up to the camcorder via HDMI to the Intensity card while recording! Not typically feasible when doing live events and being mobile with your camcorder.
    The second best MAY be playing back the recorded video (HDV compressed onto the tape) via the HDMI (not firewire) to the Intensity. Here it depends on the quality of the codec INSIDE the camcorder vs. the software codec in the computer. The advantage with an Intensity card here is that you can record onto the computer using a more "editable" format (see below).
    The third best (may be just as good as the second above) is to transport the recorded video (HD compressed) via firewire from the camcorder directly to the mac. The only difference from two above is how good the software codec on the mac is compared to the camera. Opinions vary here.
    Editing the DV/HDV directly is often near impossible - meaning it must be recorded (converted) on the hard disk in a more editable format. Long GOP issues arise often/sometimes with DV/HDV (MPEG 2).
    Method 2 and 3 allow for portability. Method 1 is NOT portable/mobile.

  • Black Magic Intensity Thunderbolt interfase is not recognized

    I am trying to adapt the little box interfase Intensity from Black Magic throught the Thunderbolt port althought it is recongnized by my iMac system, Final Cut 10.0.3 doesn't. I followed the insctrucctions that seems simple: connect the thunderbolt cable into the iMac thunderbolt port, the other extrem into the thunderbolt port of the interfase and then connect an HDMI cable from the out port into the HDMI in port of the external monitor, select  the A/V option in the FCX ......and that's all!!!....but nothing happens....the signal is not recognized in the monitor....I tested with After Effects application and it does sends out the signal to the external monitor.
    Am I doing something wrong or is there a codec or software that I have to install additional? 

    probably need to speak to Black Magic as they write the drivers for their stuff to work with fcpx

  • Black magic card a/v settings for capture??????????????????????

    So I have a black magic intensity pro card. I am trying to use it with my JVC HDV 720p 60fps camcorder. I know I need to lower the setting to have it actually work without a ton of raid cards and so I have the "A/V Settings" set to:
    Sequence preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
    Capture preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
    Device Control preset: Non-controlable device
    Which is what everything I have read has said to do, but it refuses to work I get an error saying there is no video coming through the audio meeter does not even bounce in preview. It is not the cables I have tested both. What else could it be?

    I also have the intensity settings in the mac system preferences set to y, r-y, b-y video & analog RCA Audio.
    I am still stumped!

  • Adobe not allowing import of XML file captured from Media Express through Black Magic capture card

    I have been going crazy trying to find a way to import the XML files to fix the digitized look Adobe capture gave my footage. Someone help me
    These are not XML from Final Cut. They are files saved from Media Express, a Black magic design program used for Capturing.
    THANK YOU.
    Please email me if you know how to fix this
    [email protected]
    THANKS AGAIN!

    Wouldn't it be more appropriate to open the actual media files captured with the program?

  • Black Magic Intensity Pro Play only Audio when edit in CS 5.5

  • What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

    I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card.   For best quality, which cable should I use?
    On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
    On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
    -5 B-Y OUT
    -4 Y OUT
    -3-R-Y OUT
    -7-R-Y IN
    -8-Y IN
    -9 B-Y IN
    -15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
    -10 AES/EBU OUT
    -12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
    With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable.  On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
    On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT). 
    How should I connect this?  Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI? 
    Any help is much appreciated. 

    Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300.  I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector.  I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video.  I also read how well BMPro improves image quality.  So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be). 
    Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both.  But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter. 
    I guess I’m wondering what is better quality: 
    Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
    Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
    (I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

  • Black magic SDI to analog converter box code issue

    Hello im using an SDI to analog converter box from black magic and since i was using it to test some other stuff I guess i got the code worng now but don remember what it was. As of right now its only displaying some lines although i can kinda see through and im seeing what the back ground is and it its what im trying to display. 
    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    I wanted to let you know that I made a practice dvd today, sampling edited clips from four different sources of imported vhs video--some of it 16mm dubbed to video around 20 years ago--into iMovie. I worked in the update of 6 to see if the application had stabilized at all. I've been working only in 5.0.2 recently.
    I was pleasantly shocked at how much better the video quality was than on the computer--as you foretold. I really couldn't tell a visual difference from the source videos. What a relief! But do you work with that disparity, the difference between computer and TV, without a live TV monitor as you go? It's hard to make decisions on the basis of how it looks on the computer.
    Other encouraging news: the garble around the edges didn't show at all on the TV screen. In the meantime, I'd been trying the plug-in you recommended. I'm glad I won't need to it for all this video after all, but I'm curious to experiment more with it. Any other plug-ins you'd recommend?
    Thanks again for your generous response.
    On a roll,

  • I want to use my Black magic Multi-Brigde Pro with Premiere. That is possible correct?

    I want to use my Black magic Multi-Brigde Pro with Premiere. That is possible correct?

    Hi PragueGolem.
    Yes, it's possible to use the Blackmagic Multibridge Pro with Premiere but it's also complicated to use the card with video and audio together.
    I use a mac pro with the Multibridge Pro 1 and need to use an audio card too, because the card makes always problems with audio in Premiere CC.
    In the audio hardware settings tab you have no selection possibility for the card. You have to select your standard system audio and to route this in Premiere. In your system audio panel you have the multibridge as standard card set.
    Only for a short time it was possible for me to use the card with audio and video but after the last Premiere update I have to use the audio card again. I spend to much time in optimize my system to work well with the card and heard to many people have trouble with Premiere CC and the Multibridge Pro Card. In Premiere Pro it wasn't a problem at all...
    Regards,
    Flo.
