Inconsistency in Recognition of Avid Codecs in PPro CS6

Hi,
I am starting to notice in consistency in Premiere's ability to recognize and import Quicktimes exported wtih an Avid DnxHD codec. On several occasions I have opened a project using just a handful of Avid exported Quicktime clips for a secondary workstation and Premiere fails to link the clips. When I manually relink the media, which has not been renamed or changed locations since hte issue began, I receive a generica 'failed to import' error. After restarting the computer and opening the project again, the Avid Quicktime files may or may not be offline again. I've tried manually re-importing them on occasion, and also receive the generic import error. I can't seem to pinpoint why the clips can be read some times, but not all. Any thoughts? System specs below, and yes I do have the current Avid codecs for PC installed.
Adobe Premiere Pro Version 6.0.3
Total Code for Adobe Premiere Pro Version 6.0.4
Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
CPU Intel(R) Xeon (R) CPU X5647 @ 2.93 GHz (2 processors)
Memory: 24 GB Installed RAM
nVidia Quadro 4000
Thanks for any input!
Lindsay

I have never experienced this problem on a similar system,
and I use DNxHD in a lot of my projects
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your DNxHD codecs?
Avid Codecs 2.3.7 - DNxHD (pc or mac)

Quicktime export quits : Avid Codec Causing it ?

I was running the previous version of Quicktime with the Avid codec installed for a project we've exported from the edit suite.
The composer on the film can't run the film on her Intel iMac, as there aren't any UB Avid codecs yet.
Normally we've worked around this by simply exporting or sharing using my Quicktime Pro, and thus removing the Avid codec. But today the process has simply stopped working as sharing/exporting causes Quicktime to unexpectedly quit. Worse this happens half an hour after seemingly carrying on fine, so the day has been written off.
I've thrown away prefs, updated Quicktime, reinstalled avid codecs, repaired permissions, the lot.
Nothing. No joy. Any ideas of how to stop Quicktime quitting gratefully appreciated - the Cannes deadline is looming.

I was running the previous version of Quicktime with the Avid codec installed for a project we've exported from the edit suite.
The composer on the film can't run the film on her Intel iMac, as there aren't any UB Avid codecs yet.
Normally we've worked around this by simply exporting or sharing using my Quicktime Pro, and thus removing the Avid codec. But today the process has simply stopped working as sharing/exporting causes Quicktime to unexpectedly quit. Worse this happens half an hour after seemingly carrying on fine, so the day has been written off.
I've thrown away prefs, updated Quicktime, reinstalled avid codecs, repaired permissions, the lot.
Nothing. No joy. Any ideas of how to stop Quicktime quitting gratefully appreciated - the Cannes deadline is looming.

No Video from QT/Avid codec .mov files in Premier CS4

We have a lot of .mov files exported from Avid Newscutter using the Avid .mov codec. SD files 720x480. AE, QuickTime, and Bridge play the audio and video no problem. Premier plays only the audio and black for the video. This happens on 3 different workstatons with CS4 Production Premium.
Software version:
CS4 Production Premium
Avid QT codecs have been installed in the \program files(x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents folder
Hardware
HP z400 workstation: 16GB mem.
OS WinXPSP3 64 bit.
thanks for any help,
Larry

Thanks for your help Bill,
The codec is installed in the right directory for most apps, such as Bridge and AE. I thought maybe Premier4 might need it in a different location, but so far I haven't been able to determine it that is the case. I do know Premier 5 has no problem with .mov files created with the Avid codec, so the coming upgrade on this system should solve the problem. The editor was very worried he would have to export all those files from Avid again.

Avid Codecs Not working

For some reason I can't get the avid codecs to work in my quicktime. I've done everything I can think of - updated quicktime and my operating system to most recent versions, and I've downloaded every codec available on the avid website:
Downloaded from here
http://www.avid.com/onlineSupport/supportcontent.asp?browse=&productID=0&content ID=3555
and here
http://www.avid.com/onlineSupport/supportcontent.asp?productID=0&contentID=7952
But a set of videos I'm working with won't work - the sound is fine but the screen is white.
The properties on these videos are usually:
Dimensions: 720 x 480
Codecs: Integer (Little Endian), Avid Meridien 2:1 NTSC 601
but sometimes are 720 x 486, Avid Meridien compressed
Technically, with the avid codecs in the folder Library/Quicktime, it should work (a coworker has the same exact files on his computer, and they work on his) - so I don't understand why this is happening.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Those links, and any other ones I can find, all point to PowerPC versions. I saw posts in the Avid forums begging for Mac Intel support, but no sign of an answer to that.
Meanwhile, try setting QuickTime Player to open using Rosetta. Then the PowerPC components may work ok.

Can't Open FCP after I Updated to 10.5.8 & downloaded AVID codecs

I recently updated my OS to 10.5.8. I also downloaded AVID codec for quicktime. Then, when I went to open FCP on my MacBook Pro (2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), I was hit with the error message Final Cut Pro requires that your system have a CPU type G5; this system has a CPU type of G4. I've never had a problem running FCP on this laptop. Any suggestions? Help!

What version of FCP do you have?
Your MacBook Pro is an Intel processor Mac. FCP versions 5.1 through 7 should run on it. Older versions (5.0.4 and earlier) will not. They require a PPC processor Mac like the older G5s and G4s.

Migration/5.1.2/Avid Codecs/Late night call to fix old project

Sound familiar?
Well -- Last time I updated this project was in September.
Since then, I've changed computers from G4 PPC to IntelPro, upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1.2.
I know there's a post SOMEWHERE on this forum for converting these old AVID codec clips. And I've got 40 of them.
here's a sample... not sure what's on it cause I can't see it... so if it's me an my wife... um... (audio is a little suspect!!)
http://homepage.mac.com/captmench/050623-F-5396T-00201_44_0_51.MOV.zip
Anyway - if anyone can walk me thru:
1) what codecs I need again
2) where to put them
3) how to convert these files in Compressor (I should be ok with this)
4) Should I remove codecs if they're going to bother me again?
Thanks again,

I'm really struggling here.
Read this: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3954446#3954446
Took the codecs... here's a shot of the ones I've got:
http://homepage.mac.com/captmench/Codecs01.png
Nothing quits... FCP is fine with it all... just won't play ANY video over those clips. QT just shows white and is calling this "Avid DV Codec" when I apple-I it.
Hmmm what else...
Oh - compressor won't let me do anything with it either. Shows white and errors when exporting it to DV/NTSC.
Please?
Thanks

Avid codec pink/green issue in After Effects CC

Hi there.
We're in the process of upgrading to CC at work and are running an Avid based edit to graphics pipeline. Currently our editors export to Avid mpeg 50 which works without any issues in AE CS5 - when we bring the same footage into AE CC it comes in garbled, split into pink/green colours, squashed to half screen and in the wrong aspect ratio. It's like the metadata in the file is not being interpreted correctly and telling AE to do weird things.
I am still in the process of testing at my end to find out if other avid based codecs are affected.
I've attached a screenshot to demonstrate what is happening:
We're running OSX 10.8.3 on Mac Pros.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as its preventing us from rolling out CC at the moment.
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for the info Rick, Do you have any details of what version of the Avid codec is required? I'm also wondering if the codec would need to be upgraded on the Avid export end as well as the After Effects machine end.

Can't get Avid codecs to show in capture settings

I have a few Avid codecs but can't get them to show in easy settup or capture settings. They do sow in my sequece (compressor) setings Can I get these to show inmy easy settup and in capture settings?
Jeff

By this I guess you mean I can transcode to an Avid codec but not capture.
Convert/Transcode...yes. But not in FCP. You'd do this via QT Export, or...hmmm...QT Conversion when you export.
In this case what setting would you recommend for capture?
Well, what camera did you shoot this footage with? What is your intended use of it? Final Delivery?

Exporting with Avid Codec

I looked in the posts, but didn't see anything recent on this. I send commercials to local TV stations by outputting to Beta SP. Recently, those stations have started accepting a QT movie at their ftp site to eliminate the tape. Two use an Avid system, and have requested I output using an Avid codec.
I saw a post from Creative Cow in 2007, but that's the last I saw and there were problems that needed to be solved. Any new advice?. I am using the Power PC Mac, not the Intel version.

Raid 0 for media or previews? Using DSLR footage with Avid codec Sequence for smart rendering

I am on a PC currently using raid0 for media (4x 7200rp drives, read/write at 600) and exporting (no previews) to my sas 15k rpm (read/write about 180) previews/render drive.
I want to use avid codec for my sequence settings, will be doing smart rendering and exporting preview files for quicker exports.
My question, should I export to my raid0 since I will be exporting previews? Or is it better to keep the same setup and just add an export drive?

Either would work but since the Media array is so much faster than the Render drive, the export times probably wont change much exporting to the Render drive.

Avid Codec for QTPro 7.1.3

Hello all,
I have a problem with QuickTime Pro on my MacBookPro.
I run an Avid edit suite on a G4 Mac - the Avid uses the Meridien Board digitising/compression system. That uses OS9, and has QuickTime 4 installed. After finishing an edit, to get my movie onto my MacBook Pro I have to Export from Avid. I Export as an Avid Quicktime. This plays fine on the G4 as the codecs are installed. I have installed the Avid codecs on my MacBook Pro in the Library/QuickTime folder - but still get the annoying white screen/good audio problem when I open the movie.
I want to get these movies to i-pod and DVD so need this to work.
Any ideas anyone.....?
Many thanks as usual - Tim @ Vertigo

My guess is that the Avid codecs are not yet Intel-native, so when QuickTime runs as Intel, the Avid codecs don't work. You may be able to force QuickTime Player to run in Rosetta; check the Get Info box and I believe there will be an option for that - and so get the codecs to load and work correctly.
You'll want to check with Avid for Intel-native codecs to get the best performance.
Hope this helps.

Avid codec and CS5

I am eager to make the jump to CS5. One thing I am wondering about is if quicktime codecs need to be 64bit. We have an avid in house so all video to and from the avid is in a quicktime using Avids codec.
Anybody know if this works in 64 bit as it will be a big problem if I cant read/render these quicktime files.

I recommend downloading the trial version and checking for yourself, but I don't see why this wouldn't work.
After Effects CS5 uses a process (Adobe QT32 Server) to make calls to 32-bit QuickTime components. This means that you can use 32-bit QuickTime codecs.
Of course, as I said, you should really check for yourself first, using the trial version.

Avid Codec on FCP

Hi. Currently i am trying to view QT with AVmp from Avid. I have download the AvidCodecsLE, but I don't know what is the right sequence setting to use. I've tried all but it kept saying "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card. I am using FCP7.0.3 on MacBook Pro i7. Please help.

try this link
Avid QuickTime Codecs LE 2.3.2
http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=372311
I've done it before Qt footage with Avid codec on a FCP timeline
I don't beleive FCP cares what is in the timeline as long as you provide the right CODEC.
good luck

Avid Codec

I have a new PC with a clean install of Premiere CC and CS6. I have an ongoing project that I would like to finish in CS6 and I want to export it using an Avid Codec. After installing the codecs they don't appear in CS6, during the install there is no option as to where the files go, I assume they have been put in the CC directory. Where can I find them and can I just copy the files to the CS6 directory?
