Codec - required codec is not installed (Premier Elements 11 - mac).

Error Message in Premiere Elements 11 (mac) when loading .MPEG videos: “The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor / decompressor (codec) installed.” Question is, how do I determine what codec is needed?

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the program below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing

    I have tried to view videos created in premiere elements 10 and I get the following message: "this file type is not supported, or the required codec is  not installed.  When it opens there is a red screen in the monitor panel with Korean writing which also appears in the place of each clip in the video.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere elements 10, but that did not have any effect on the video.  Do you have any suggestions?  I researched codec, but do not understand them at all.

    In case you did not find it, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement on Premiere Elements 19/NVIDIA GeForce
    that appears at the top of this forum.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed

    Hallo! I use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on my computer (PC, windows 7). When I try do re-open my projects on Adobe Premiere Elements I get the message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed. The file type of my saved projects is: Adobe Premiere Elements Project (.prel). The same happens when i try to re-open the auto save files. This is very annoying because I losse all my earlier work. I would be really grateful for help. Best regards, Stefan

    With the QT Player installation, you should have Apple's H.264 CODEC.
    Maybe this ARTICLE will give you some tips on the GoPro footage.

  • Error Message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?

    I am trying to get media from my computer, and I only receive this error message :
    This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed?
    What should I do? I have a window 8 laptop. My video files are from my itouch/ipod. I am using Premiere Elements 7.
    I have used this software with success before. HELP would greatly be appreciated!

    darlingdarleen
    Did both laptop 1 and 2 have QuickTime (latest version or any version) installed on the computers with Premiere Elements 7 when you got this "this type of file......" message?
    If you go to the opened Premiere Elements 7 projects involved and look at Share/Personal Computer/QuickTime, do you find that QuickTime Presets are shown and that you find export settings choices under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    Look at the file name of the video. Do you see any irregularies in the name of the file, dots and such?
    If you record new iPod footage, open a new Premiere Elements project, and import that iPod footage, do you still get the error message? Putting aside, iTouch, what model iPod are these videos coming from?
    Thanks.

  • How to solve "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed"?

    Hi all,
    I've just started using a new computer with WIndows 8.1 within the last week and have loaded my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.0 software into it.
    In trying to view and edit a video I created on my old computer, I got "Media Pending" and "Media Offline" notices as soon as I began. The source files are located on an external drive with a permanent letter designation. I began the process of reconnecting my Project Assets files with the source files this morning, but have now encountered a new roadblock. Each time I try, I get the message "this type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." It offers no information or options other than to click "OK," which is not very helpful.
    All the source files are located in one folder on my external drive. I have been able to reconnect the JPEGs and the mp3 source files but not the AVI video files.
    Here are three screenshots. The first is the "Media Offline" message, the second is the message I receive when I try to reconnect my Project Assets to the source files and the third is a screenshot of the codecs installed on the new computer.
    Here is my new computer information:
    Model: Del Inspiron 3847
    Intel Core i5-4460
    CPU @ 3.20 GHz  3.20 GHz
    RAM 8 GB
    System type: 64-bit, x64-based processor
    I hope someone can guide me. What do I need to do to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    Thank your for the information supplied.
    But, what are the properties of this .avi file that you seek?
    Video Compression
    Audio Compression
    Frame Size
    Frame Rate
    Interlaced or Progressive
    Pixel Aspect Ratio
    Right now of prime interest is the video compression that is being wrapped by that AVI wrapper/container.
    AVCHD.avi
    MotionJPEG.avi
    XviD.avi
    DviX.avi
    other
    There are instances were a particular video compression or a particular container/wrapper format is each supported by Premiere Elements, but
    not a combo of those particular two. But, in this instance, I suspect this to be a MotionJPEG video codec issue, but your details will
    point us to the actual situation, and we will plan troubleshooting strategy from there.

  • This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.

    About two months ago, I was able to edit these files and create videos from them. Now I get the following message: This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed.
    Aside from regular Windows updates, nothing has been added or removed from my PC.
    I’m using fully patched Windows 7
    Premiere Elements 8.0
    Canon T2I Hi def movies are .MOV

    I can't believe that tech challenged moi is replying to the codec issue.  I bought a new computer with Windows 7.  I won't go into the tech issues with a Windows update....   Anyway I downloaded Photoshop Elements 8 and figured out how to import my photos and videos to Photoshop on the new comptuter.  Photos were fine but videos wouldn't play.  I got the messages about Apple's Quicktime required and then the "required codec is not installed".  I went "What is a "codec"!
    I downloaded Quicktime which went smoothly but I still had the "required codec not installed" message to deal with.  I researched and found that it referred to compressed/decompressed files(?)  Next I googled "Windows 7 codec download" (not even sure if there was one).  There was!   I clicked on the first result and downloaded the codec.  The info stated that this codec should read 99.9% of video files.  Went back to Photoshop and clicked on the blue video thumbnail.  It worked!!!  The video played just as it did on the old computer.
    Hope this helps someone else.  Now why would Windows 7 not include this codec in the first place.  I never had to download one before on other computers.  Only Quicktime needed downloading.  Oh, well.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

    I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
    being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

    If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
    A)  As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
    so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site:  http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
    B)  If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP.  But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
    search the internet for it. 
    C)  The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec.  Other things that have helped others, some from: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
    (1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
    (2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
    (3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,  
    (4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
    (5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
    Good luck,

  • Can't install Premier Elements 10 on Win 7 32 bit, quad core 2.40ghz, install package not compatible with my processor type

    Hello All, I am trying to install Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro box 32bit running an Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad Core @ 2.40ghz, 2gb ram, I get the following error " This installation package is not supported by this processor type, Contact your product vendor."," What's wrong?

    Interesting, I guess I need to call the Alienware folks and find out why they installed a substandard processor in such an expensive gaming box. I do have several other processors I can swap it out with, do you have a recommendation on a good processor that will get the job done? Learning is never a waste of time, but giving up is. Thanks for your insight,

    Lots of conflicting information, but let us see if any can be sorted out.
    1. You have a new Mac Book Pro computer, and you are trying to install Premiere Elements 10 Mac on it.
    a. Is the installation disc an Adobe installation disc that specifically says "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 & Adobe Premiere Elements 10" and is further labelled DISC 3 OF 5? If not, then I am guessing that you have an unauthorized copy. Did the sale to you go through Adobe with regard to transferring the license from the "someone" online seller to you?
    b. Adobe allows a purchased serial number for the product to be used on no more than 2 of the users computers. So, a possibility might exist where the seller did not deactivate the product from his/her computer before sending you the product. But, if that were the case, I suspect you would be blocked by a message about too many copies of the serial number on your computers.
    c. When you said that the "Photoshop CD installed perfectly", are you referring to Photoshop Elements 10? And, please confirm whether you installed this Photoshop Elements 10 from the same installation disc as the one that you are using for the Premiere Elements Install.
    d. In the absence of any of the above possibilities, there are special issues to be addressed with installing Premiere Elements 10 Mac. Those are defined in the link that I have cited already.
    e. Besides all the rest, Premiere Elements 10 and QuickTime need to be run under Administrator Privileges. So, you need to set that up. Unless someone steps forward here to detail how to do that with your Mac Computer, please check this out with the Best Buy people. I am strictly an Elements Windows user otherwise I would be giving you a step by step on that aspect of the matter. But, check out the following online link to see if it is helpful with regarding to setting these permissions
    http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2592
    f. Do no presume that your video card is up to date. Verify that at the web site of the web site of the manufacturer of the video card, the computer manufacturer, or Best Buy Geek Squad. Since you purchased the computer there, they should be very helpful with these details of Administrator Privileges and video card/graphics card update. Do you know how many video cards/graphics cards your computer has and at least one is NVIDIA?
    g. You will need to explain how an "Elements 12" got into the mix. If you want to update Premiere Elements 10, then you need to purchase a serial number for Premiere Elements 12. All the Premiere Elements versions are standalone programs. "Upgrading" related to them refers to a pricing matter rather than updating the existing software.
    Please review and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Installing Premier Elements 9

    I need help to re-install Premier Elements 9 after I deleted the pre-installed copy on my HP laptop.  I've downloaded files from Adobe, but they won't install.  What files do I need?  How can I ensure that my ownership of the pre-installed version is recorded.

    What computer operating system is involved?
    When you first installed the program, did you go through the registration process?
    You can go to the Adobe web site, http://www.adobe.com, sign in with your Adobe ID and Password, in the Search field type in My Products. Follow the My Products link to your products and look for Adobe Premiere Elements 9 in that list. When you click on Adobe Premiere Elements 9, the serial number should be revealed.
    When you download replacement installation files from Adobe (from whom you purchased the product as a download specific to the computer operating system you were using), you should start with 2 files
    .exe (which is either Adobe Application Manager or a Akamai counterpart
    7z (which is the program itself
    You need both starting with the exe which will be extracing files for the 7z.
    Keys to success include
    a. downloading and installing files specific to the computer operating system involved at time of purchase
    b. making sure you have the set for 32 or 64 bit set of installation files.
    Let us start here and then decide what next. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • On how many of my computers am I allowed to install Premier elements if I purchase it ?

    On how many of my computers am I allowed to install Premier elements if I purchase it ?
    Is the software provided on a CD ?
    thanks

    If have Premiere Elements just on your old computer and you decide to buy a new computer and use the same purchased S/N Premiere Elements on the new, there are several options....keep in mind that your goal is NOT to have installed this purchased serial number on more than two of your computers.
    a. If you want to sell the old computer and/or never want to use Premiere Elements version x on it, then Deactivate in the Help Menu/Deactivate of the program if that option is there. Then close the program and uninstall via the typical Control Panel route.
    or
    b. You could leave Premiere Elements on the old computer and just install the same purchased serial number Premiere Elements on the new. The matter of having to buy a new Premiere Elements may come up only if you then want to leave a Premiere Elements with the same serial number on the old and new computers and then buy a 3rd computer and want to put Premiere Elements with that purchased serial number on that as well - not removing the program from old and new.
    Focus on....each purchased serial number represents a license and that license does not permit you to put that purchased serial number on any more than 2 computers.
    Please review and see if the above helps. If you have one purchased copy of Premiere Elements along with a serial number unique to it and just two computers are involved (old and new), it is not clear to me when you talk about a 3rd license. If you do not see my point, please let me know and I will try to explain another way. No problem.
    Thanks
