Missing codecs for Blackmagic HD Extreme?

I just installed a new BM HD Extreme card. I installed the latest driver (6.3)
I am running QT 7.2 and FCP 6.0.1
When I launch FCP it prompts me to select a Sequence Preset.
The drop down window contains many Blackmagic options- but many others are missing. For example: I only have 3 choices of 1080i 59.94 (10bit, 10bit RGB, and 8bit). There are only 2 DVCproHD options. And there is no NTSC DV option, etc.
If I choose CANCEL I do not get a Timeline or Canvas window and they are grayed out the Window drop down menu. If I choose a preset- even one I do not want I get a complete layout.
Once inside FCP- I try Audio/Video Settings Menu.
All options including 1080i 59.94 ProRes, 1080i 59.94 DVCpro, NTSC DV, etc.
are available as Capture presets- but they are not listed under Sequence Preset menu.
If I select Easy Set-up- ALL BM presets are listed.
but when I try to edit to timeline I get a prompt telling to switch settings.
Many of these same setting options are missing from the VIEW Video Playback menu as well.
It's all very confusing. What is going on here?
I suppose my question is:
How do I get All Blackmagic presets to appear as options in all settings- including sequence preset and Video playback?

time to call black magic support. I suspect (have not had time to check) the codecs are not in the proper location like in library>application support>final cut pro>??
look for the setups you see and where they are. I think there are separate locations for easy setup and for sequence presets. I have the same thing in the B room with an older blackmagic card

  • PREMIERE ELE9 MISSING CODEC FOR JPG FILE

    Basically, I want to import still photos into the timeline but when I import it into the project adobe says the file is not supported or the codec is missing. This is weird because I have done this before with no problem. What do I do? Please help. Thanks

    There is no CODEC required for JPEG, but they must adhere to certain criteria.
    They must be RGB.
    They cannot be Progressive.
    They cannot contain certain Metadata, as John mentions.
    If the Color Mode is NOT REG - Open in PS, change the Color Mode to RGB and Save with Baseline Optimized, or better yet, as a PSD.
    If the JPEG's came from the Web, they could well be Progressive - Open in PS and Save with Baseline Optimized, or better yet, as a PSD.
    Good luck,

  • Installed Adobe CC Trial - Missing Codecs For Premiere

    Hi ALL,
    New here, Just installed a trial of Adobe CC But I found that Encoder is missing Pro Res and mpeg 2.
    Also Premiere Pro only has DNXHD And DV presets. In the subfolder [ROOT] presets all the settings are there but don't appear in the sequence settings. Also my capture only has DV not HDV.
    I am on a Mac. I have uninstalled and Reinstalled still the same problem?
    Any help ?
    Thanks

    ProRes and Mpeg2 are propriety codecs that you have to buy. If you were on FCP before you would have had these as part of the Quicktime Pro licence that came with FCP.
    ProRes is an Apple codec that you can get by buying Motion (this is about the cheapest option). Mpeg2 I'm not positive about - I think this might actually have come with Media Encoder, but don't quote me on that.
    You don't really need ProRes unless you specifically have to deliver in ProRes - premiere will cut just about anything natively without the need for any transcoding. DNXHD is an open source alternative to ProRes and is just as good. If you specifically need ProRes, then your first job should easily cover the cost of buying it.
    As for the DV/HDV capture - do you have a HDV deck or camera attached?

  • Missing Codec for Premiere Elements 12

    Hi, I just bought Elements 12.  I installed it into my computer fine.  However when I tried to upload my video from an external hard drive it would not take it.  It said that a "codec" was missing.  My computer is new and the software is new.  Does anyone have any ideas?   It does not tell me  which codec is missing other than something is missing.  The video was transferred from a mini-dv onto the hard drive. 
    The whole reason why I bought Elements was to do some editing on this project.  If I can't do it, then this software is useless to me.
    Thanks,
    Deeadrian

    deeadrian,
    However, am I to understand that in order to do any capturing that I will need firewire?  When I read the booklet and information, I did not see any reference to firewire.  Or are you  referring to this particular instance?  If not and firewire is needed, then why are like 90+ percent of the computers being on the market do not have firewire anymore?
    A tape workflow is going by the wayside. It is a "legacy," and is being replaced rapidly with a tapeless workflow, often AVCHD. MiniDV tape, however good it is, is being phased out, and computer mfgrs. are turning their backs on it - including the FW connections.
    When I was in the process of ordering my "super" laptop replacement, I had to wait 4 mos., until Clevo (a major laptop MoBo mfgr.) put the IEEE-1394a chip BACK onto their top-end MoBo. I waited, as I still do a lot of miniDV tape Capture, and needed that connection. I knew what I needed, and was prepared to both wait for it, and then pay for it.
    Whenever someone is dealing with legacy technology, they have to make allowances for that. I still have two old computers set up, as they offer me connections, that I still need, decades later, like SCSI for my Nikon scanner, and some older technology. That is the price of technological advancement - one has to accommodate the old stuff.
    I have kept my old Photoshop CS2, because I have a ton of Kodak PhotoCD's, and there is no ability to read those files in the newest versions of Photoshop. Support for that format was dropped some years ago - but I can still access those discs, just on my older computers.
    Good luck,

  • Missing codec for JPEG or PSD?

    Hi!
    I just used the Encore CS5 (Master Collection) for the first time after installing.  I was working with 2.0 before.
    I normally use it to author DVDs, especvially photo slideshows with a song in the background. So no big deal. That worked just fine with AE2. Its a PAL DVD, with Stereo Sound, one Menu. System Win 7 x64.
    Now I've a set of 150 JPEGS (or PSDs as well) that should be imported in Encore as a screen presentation. Import / as screen presentation imports about 70 pics and for the rest I have the screen messsage "The software to decrypt the media in this system is not available. Try to fix the problem by installing the correct decoders for the files."
    What codec do I need to decrypt JPEGS / PSDs nowadays? That're just normal jpeg pics? And If so, what codec do I need than?
    Can anyone help with this?
    Best regrads,
    MI

    If some work and some don't, the USUAL cause is bad or missing header information in the file that confuses Encore
    Open and resave in Photoshop and see if that fixes the problem

  • Missing Codec for Avid QT Movie

    I have some QT movies that were exported from Avid (on Mac OSX) about three years ago. The files played fine on my G5 after adding the Avid Meridien codecs to my Library. Now I have upgraded to an Intel MBP and I can't get video (only audio) from these movies even after downloading and installing the Avid Codec package for Intel Macs. I can't even get the video to play in VLC - says its missing the AvidAVDJCodec.component - even though that is one of the codecs currently in the Library!
    Please help. Most of these movies are part of my portfolio and I need to access them. Thanks.

    The Apple Intermediate Codec is just that. An "intermediate" step in the movie making process from the camera "source" format to a format that is editable. Most common is MPEG-2 (camera source).
    Once in the intermediate format nearly any machine can do the editing (even if they can't play the file without dropping frames) in QuickTime Player.
    Your older machine and its older graphics card are probably the cause when working with the 24fps rate.
    You would probably get a better, more thorough, answer by posting in the Final Cut or Express Discussions pages.

  • Missing codec for finder's preview pane?

    I used to be able to see preview of my movies on finder's preview pane. Since i upgraded to Leopard, the preview pane has stopped working. I cannot see the previews anymore, it's just a blank white area. Am i missing a codec as such?

    from Apple doc:
    Previewing images
    When you open a window for a folder that contains images, you may notice that the icons for the image files are thumbnail previews of the images themselves.
    If this feature is not working, you can use View Options to turn it on.
    To turn on previewing of images:
    Step 1
    In the Dock, click the Finder icon to open a Finder window.
    The Finder icon is always the first one in the Dock. Make sure the Finder window you’re viewing contains images.
    Step 2
    Choose View > Show View Options to see the options for the window.
    Step 3
    Click one of the View buttons to choose icon, list, or column view.
    If you’re using Cover Flow view, you’re already previewing images and don’t need to change any settings.
    Step 4
    Use the view options box to turn on previewing.
    In icon view: Select “Show icon preview,” and use the Icon size slider to adjust the size of the preview image.
    In list view: Select “Show icon preview,” and click one of the two “Icon size” buttons.
    In column view: To use thumbnails as icons for images, select “Show icon preview.” To see a larger preview, select “Show preview column,” and then select an image file in the Finder window.
    Note: The Finder may not be able to show a preview for some image files.

  • Missing codecs for media player 12

    I have Windows 7 loaded on my computer and the Media player 12 will not open .asf files.  I have tried all kinds of patches and fixes but mothing seems to work.  I have just purchased another computer for a different location and that windows 7 media player 12 works perfectly. 

    I normally install VLC player that is capable of playing all the file formats. You can download it from the following weblink:
    http://www.videolan.org
    Then all the codecs will get installed and Media Player starts playing most of the file formats.

    The .prel files will not load into premiere elements 13 and says that there is a missing codec. This is a school's site llicense that we've used in our lab for more than a month.

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit).
    First..
    1. Have you updated from 13 to the 13.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    2. Do the problems exist if you disable the antivirus and firewall(s)?
    3. Are you running the program as Administrator? Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer?
    4. Have you refreshed the Online Services using Premiere Elements Editor Edit Menu/Preferences/Web Sharing?
    5. Have you updated the Adobe Application Manager?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
    6.Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    7. Lots more we could go through such as deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole
    13.0 Folder in which it exists.
    But, I think that you have enough things going on here to warrant an uninstall, free ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) and then reinstall with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

    If the problems persist after all that then we will adjust to additional troubleshooting maneuvers.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

    The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle.  You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
    Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place.  Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.

  • Understanding the way to connect a MDD to BlackMagic Decklink Extreme card

    Hi,
    I require some help in the following:
    I recently bought myself a Blackmagic DeckLink Extreme™ with 10bit SDI/analog video and audio capture card.
    Looking at the specs, http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/sd/specs/, can someone give me directions as to the best setup I can do from the following sources and what other equipment I may require to achieve it.
    - mono stereo audio VHS -> has 1 video/audio in and 1 video/audio out (composite connections)
    - stereo audio video camera -> has 1 8 pin S-Video out port to composite connections (Hi8 tape type)
    - DVD player -> has composite 2 x 2ch stereo audio out, 1 x 5.1ch stereo audio out, 2 x video out, 1x component video out, 2 x S-video out, 2 x digital audio out; 1 x RCA/OPT
    - 2 x 23" monitors connected by ADC and DVI connections to a Apple MDD G4, may relay to 60" Plasma for video monitoring from video card prior to creating DVD final piece for playback.
    Basically, I wanted to have multiple source inputs and outputs, but I'm having difficulty in understanding the setup. Please refer to http://www.blackmagic-design.com/downloads/connections/decklinkdiagram.pdf page 5/6.
    I purchased the following from JayCar
    - 6 x PA3655 ADPT PLG RCA:

    What other devices do I need to set up the equipment in the following way:
    <pre>
    Computer ------- Video In + Stereo In -----------> 3WAY SWITCH BOARD
    | | ^ ^ ^
    | | | | |
    Bigpond |---- OUT ---> TV --------|-----|-----|

    Currently I have not succeeded.
    I have just done a simple test like so:
    <pre>
    Computer ------- Video In + Stereo In ---------> DVD (*)
    |
    Bigpond
    </pre>
    (*) Tested using the following:
    <pre>
    From Decklink -- Y IN (from deck) --> DVD Y port
    -- B-Y IN (from deck) --> DVD Pb port
    -- R-Y IN (from deck) --> DVD Pr port
    -- SDI IN (from deck) ---> DVD Digital audio out
    ASWELL AS
    From Decklink -- Y OUT (from deck) --> DVD Y port
    -- B-Y OUT (from deck) --> DVD Pb port
    -- R-Y OUT (from deck) --> DVD Pr port
    -- SDI OUT (from deck) ---> DVD Digital audio out
    </pre>
    Not one has seemed to work. What am I missing here?

    I want to buy a hard disk (not a NAS device) and plug it into my Airport Extreme in order to share data between two Mac computers, and to stream iTunes content to my Apple TV.
    One option is to purchase a hard drive (say, a 2TB Hitachi G-Technology drive) and connect it to the USB port on the back of the Apple Extreme. The other option is to purchase a drive with an ethernet connection (say, a 2TB Lacie drive) and connect it to an ethernet port on the Apple Extreme.
    In the second case what you'd have actually is a NAS. Apple's AirPort routers aren't known for fast file sharing. The NAS option might be faster.
    Is either option better for streaming movies from the hard drive to my Apple TV?
    I could be wrong, but an AppleTV may not be able to access content directly from a network drive. It may require that a Mac serve as an intermediary.

  • Digital noise using Apple 10-bit uncompressed codec for NTSC, BIG PROBLEM!

    I hope someone from Apple or the Shake team can shed some light on this problem we're having so we can take the appropriate corrective action ASAP to meet our strict deadlines on this current project.
    We're compositing all the EFX (over 1000 EXF shots) for a massive video game project that needs to be delivered to the client by the end of May. Let me preface the following comments by saying that overall, we're very pleased with Shake and the end results we're getting, but one problem in particular has us very worried about making our deadline:
    The project is entirely bluescreen with CGI plates, shot on anamorphic Digibeta and captured into FCP as uncompressed 10 bit. 4:2:2 through a Blackmagic HD Extreme card (via SDI).
    All the 4:2:2 material exhibits (for lack of a better desciption) digital "noise" that runs along the right-hand edge of the video, with frequent drop-out "looking" sparkles that can appear anywhere in the video image. These artifacts ONLY appear when the video clips are imported into Shake, and rendered out of Shake. They play perfectly fine in FCP and QT player.
    If we force the FILE-IN node to 8 bit, the problem goes away, but keying suffers - so this is not an option.
    The problem ONLY occurs on our Intel Mac's, not on our older G5's. The reason we invested in the Mac Pro's for this project was to reap the performance boost we desired in order to get the project out the door by our deadline, plus the G5's are busy offlining upcoming episodes - so turning the compositing over to the G5's is also not an option.
    We're already well down the road, and while we realize that at Shake's current price-point it seems silly to complain at all, we gladly would have paid more for a compositing tool if we knew we were going to run into a situation like this. Unforunately, our initial evaluation of Shake was done on our G5's which don't suffer from this issue.
    If anyone from has any recommendation for an efficient way to solve or work around this issue, we'd love to hear from you.
    Best regards,
    Michael Buday

    Not sure the exact answer, but some options to try:
    1) have you tried converting the clips to image
    sequences? Perhaps it's a QuickTime error.
    2) How about using 2 FileIns - one at 10 bit to
    generate the keys and one at 8 bit for the fill?
    Patrick
    <img</div>
    Hello Patrick and thanks for your suggestion:
    We're going to experiment with different codecs and image sequences this week to see what happens.
    RE: using different FILEIN's for key/fill, is something I hadn't thought of but unfortunately the 10bit FILEIN would still be affected by the noise which would in turn affect the alpha channel created by Keylight or Primatte.
    I'll let you know what we find out as things progress.
    Again, thanks.

  • Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

    Hi !
    I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
    I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
    I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
    I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
    Can you help me ?
    Thx

    Thanks for the reply.
    Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.

  • Sudden Increase in Missing Codecs

    I have been working on a documentary shot on different media and have never once had a missing codec error.  This past week, after assembling a rough cut of the trailer from all the assorted sequences the 'codec could not be found' error message starts cropping up and is rapidly spreading and I can't determine why or how to fix it.  I have not introduced any new sort of footage the sequences hadn't already had - and what gets me is that previously fine sequences, when I go back to tweak the colour in FCP for example, then have codec errors too. 
    Most of the footage was shot on DV cameras, but it seems to be dogging the clips that are either 720 or 1080p.  I reemphasise these clips have rendered dozens of times before.  I'm drawing a blank on this one.  All suggestions welcome, please, it keeps crashing!

    We are having the same issue with dropped calls.  I have an IPhone 4S and my husband has an IPhone 4.  This has become increasingly worse.  We never had these problems in the past.  We have updated our software and towers but nothing helps.  Something is going on with the signals!
