TIF limitation throws up 'codec not installed' error

How odd - PRE7 produces a 'codec not installed' error if I try to import a .TIF file of 600dpi resolution. But it works fine if I resize the image to 300dpi resolution.
I'm posting this for the benefit of anyone else who might encounter this inappropriate still image error.
Cheers,

Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children

Because DPI/PPI is ignored in Video, I am surprised at this. Guess it's ignored - up to a point.
Now, the "usual suspects," when one has an issue with still image Import are:
CMYK (actually, almost any Mode but RGB)
16-bit (or now 32-bit) images
Progressive JPEG's
PSD's with a very small Layer (I've only seen this in PrPro)
Images with a combo of Vector Shapes, that are not Rasterized in PS - though some of these work. NLE's just do a poor job of Rasterization)
Images above 4096 x 4096 pixels
Guess that we can add another - higher DPI/PPI, at least 600dpi. As a habit, I have Actions that handle Mode, Bit-Depth, and will set the PPI to 72, so had never encountered this. At least now we are armed with an additional attribute to ask about.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Fails with codec not installed error

Hello all of a sudden Compressor fails to produce ProRes 422 encodes with the error (in the log) "*Processing service request error: Codec not installed*". It is installed as I can use and have used ProRes elsewhere. Running Compressor 3.0.5.

I've tried the trashing of user prefs and Qmaster cache as mentioned here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1888 as well as running the utility Compressor Repair http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressor_repair.htm. Also, after testing I see that Compressor is actually having troubles reading 1 particular ProRes file and re-encoding it as ProRes. (I'm running a multi-step conversion using ProRes for all intermediary steps). I don't see anything wrong with this file (plays in QT, displays in the Compressor Preview window, etc.), but I'll remake it and see how Compressor does.

Codec not installed error, using local cluster

This was working, but now it's not. I have a local cluster that helps me parallize my transcoding jobs. If I send the job to "This Computer" it completes without errors, but it only uses 2 cores (out of 12). If I send the job to my local cluster, it fails with "codec not found". I've tried it with H.264 and ProRes 422 HQ and I get the same error. Obviously, I have the codecs, or the job wouldn't run on "This Computer". Furthermore, the cluster is only running on the same computer.
I admit, I haven't had a lot of time to re-install and/or reconfigure things to see if the problem will go away. I was wondering if anyone has seen this?
Since it worked, I have updated Compressor and Motion, and I have installed a trial version of FCPX for evaluation. Otherwise, the computer is less than 2 months old, running OS X 10.7.5.
Thank you, for any tips you can throw my way.
Douglas Toltzman

Hi Doug, don't dispair... Sounds like the Qmaster structure needs a kick. Have you had a look at the logs for any errors relating to Qmaster in /var/logs (via the console.app).. Worth a look. Also the these logs are exposed via the share monitor.app as well..
Sounds like a state information pointer is corrupt. This is easily fixed
Also I'm curious how you established the cluster. Is it a "quick cluster", or one you initialised via apple Qmaster admin or is your host just set up for services only and you submitted the batch to "computer plus"? Just curious.
In all these setup, it involves our old and sometimes less faithful mate "qmAster" ...
I'd propose you reinitialise Qmaster by removing its state information objects and cluster storage. Now there is usually no need to remove the compressor prefs unless u have some ui issue with compressor....
For the former these are many ways to disestablish Qmaster and I have documented on here in the following post. Worth a try.. This procedure usually sets compressor up ok. Additionally there's mention of issuing 3rd party apps to cleanup Qmaster .. They don't help much as they don't hit the current structure me thinks. Save some money and try the following.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17356372#17356372
The least result is that the cluster will be established cleanly and working.
Submit your batch again and report back. We can continue the troubleshooting from there.
Any post your results for others to see.

Compressor fails with Codec not installed error after 10.5.7 update

Problem: Compressor fails on submission to standard codecs such as H.264, Apple Intermediate Codec, Motion JPEG, etc. Codecs do exist on system as playback from QuickTime is unaffected. This is new behavior as of update to OS 10.5.7.
Specs: 17" MackBook Pro, Compressor 3.0.5, QuickTime 7.6, OS X 10.5.7
Attempt to resolve: Tried completely uninstalling Compressor/QMaster and reinstalling from the FCStudio disc as per "Compressor: Troubleshooting basics" (Article: TS1888 - Old Article: 302845). This installed Compressor 3.0 which compressed a single mov then began failing on subsequent submissions. Updated 3.0 to 3.0.5 with no favorable results. Submissions continue to fail.
Any ideas?

From my personal experience, the troubleshooting article which you mention in your original post does not constitute a "full uninstall". There are files missing from that list which are required for a full install.
Using the instructions in the link provided, I've been able to do multiple uninstalls & reinstalls successfully, not only with Compressor & QMaster, but with other Studio apps as well.
However, since there are codecs missing, you may need to do a full uninstall of Final Cut Studio. I personally haven't upgraded to 10.5.7 yet, since I'm currently in the middle of some projects, but it would be worth mentioning that before any kind of software upgrades, all of our system drives get a full backup. This allows us a way to "undo" any bad upgrade.

Not to sure what type AVI files they are, the storage devise is at present offshore on a job.
Can you clarify, if you edit/import video footage with adobe premiere 10 and then create a file, the file or the original raw footage is not stored on computer for re-use, if it is stored, is it stored in the original format.
Also please find details of storage devise,

Tried Most Everything... Error Type of file not supported... codec not installed

Hi Friends: I have been battling with the error message of ... "Type of file not support or codec not installed." I have been throughout the forums searching for answers and attempting various suggestions. I am stumped and am reaching out for some wisdom and help.
1.)    System Gateway – T-6859u, Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2Ghz, 4 Gig ram, Problem has existed on both Vista and upgraded Windows 7. I have used Premiere since Premier 5 (Full version not elements) including versions 6 and PRO. I have Elements on my laptop for convenience.
2.)    Assets- Problem exists with all AVI files. This includes files that worked previously but will no longer be recognized. I have used Elements since version 7 was new. It is only the last 4 months this has been and issue. These are AVIs that previously working in Elements 7 from Panasonic DV camera and other DV sources.
3.)    Problem first appeared when Windows Update installed security patch KB975560. Once the Security patch installed Premiere quit running AVIs. When the patch was removed Premiere worked again. However, windows update continued to reload the patch. The patch has now been removed and prevented from reloading. However, the problem now persists.
4.)    Other attempted repairs. Reloading Premiere Elements 7, Upgrading to Windows 7, Removing and reinstalling K-Lite Codec packs inc standard and 64bit. Loading LEADTOOLS. None has repaired the problem All the AVI files playback fine in other programs including Windows Movie Maker, Media Player Classic, WM player etc.
I'm not sure what to do next. I have been a dedicated Premiere user for so many years, I don't want to switch to another program. Any suggestions friends?

Welcome to the forum.
What version of Apple's QT Player do you have installed?
PrE relies on this much more than its big-brother, PrPro, until CS5.
From my experience, QT 7.5.5 was my "last known good," and some problems have been reported with the 7.6.2 and 7.6.3 versions. 7.6.6 is out, and works well for many Adobe users.
I would investigate updating QT Player.
Also, FFDShow, an element in K-Lite has been death to PrPro for many people. Just having it installed brings PrPro to its knees.
Though Adobe hides its CODEC's pretty well, K-Lite has been known to shift the priority of the Adobe MainConcept CODEC's. While it does not overwrite them, or delete them, it sets up some of its CODEC's to take priority. There are some older threads on Registry editing and utilities to reset the priority of the Adobe MainConcept CODEC's. Seems that Robert Johnson participated in those discussions and may have furnished the link to at least one utility.
Those are all the thoughts that I have now, and none might be of use.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Robert has not been around here lately, but does spend time on the Muvipix Community forum. I'd post there in the PrE 7 forum, and ask if anyone has any ideas too.

Compressor/decompressor codec not installed

I'm trying to upload from dvd video, I'm getting error message " compressor/decompressor codec not installed. I'm using premier 11. Need help. Thanks.

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on?
If you are trying to rip VOB (video files) from the DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc, you do not need to convert them into any other format.
You simply insert the DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
Manually set the project preset to DV Standard or DVD Standard Widescreen, depending on how the DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc was produced.
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Detail for manual setting of project preset is described in that blog post.
Then you use Add Media/"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"/Video Importer to bring your video files (VOBs with a file name such as VTS_01_1.VOB and so on into the project and Timeline.
Are you doing all that? Please clarify. We can supply more details as indicated.
Thank you.

H.264 out of Compressor fails: 'Codec Not Installed'

Been having a lot of trouble getting Compressor (v2.0.1) to output H.264 files all of a sudden. I setup a batch, the first one will compressed fine, then the next 4 went about halfway through and then failed with an error message 'codec not installed'.
I then tried to do one file at a time, tried rebooting, tried a file systems check, tried trashing the compressor.plist preferences, all to no avail. H.264 is no longer working.
The one movie that I successfully encoded plays fine, as have all the other movies I've done with H.264 over the months...
Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?

Export using quicktime conversion.

Codec not installed

When I try to send FCP project to compressor or if I try to upload directory to YouTube I get an error message Codec not installed. This is probably related to the fact that I used MacKeeper recently. Does anyone know how I reinstall the required Codec(s)?
Thanks

I wish I could. My friend installed FCP on my macbook and now he's back home (several hours away from me).

Pdfs with other versions are okay:

Also cannot open embedded pdfs which have been embedded with this version (getting a similar error).
Importantly I have removed/disabled all security options in Adobe Reader, following numerous internet suggestions from Adobe and elsewhere. This does not fix the problem.
Currently the work around is to re-save the pdf with something other than Adobe Reader 9 (so the version updates), but we would prefer not to do this for all the old pdfs we have.
Thank you,

Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
Here is some additional background info if desired:
I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
Maybe this helps someone?

Which operating system are you running? It might still be running in the background. You may want to check your Task Manager or Activity Monitor. Or better yet, if you feel uncomfortable with that, try logging out of your user account, then back in. That might kill any stray processes.

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.
