  Cannot work with Cineform video files in AE

  Posted by Robert Hoisan on February 14, 2012 at 8:58 am

  Hey guys,

  i have a huge problem and i need a fix. So i have a client and he wants me to edit a bunch of videos using After Effects and Premiere but he said they were all encoded using Cineform.

  When i try to play them using any media player on my PC i just have a black screen with some noise for e few seconds. The same thing when i import them in AE or PPRO.

  So what can i do to be able to play the videos in my computer and also to actually be able to work with this kind of videos in After Effects and Premiere Pro?

  I am on a PC, CS 5.5 suite, W7, 12RAM, Gforce GTX 275 if that helps.

  Please advice.

  Thank you,
  Robert.

  Install the free Cineform decoder. That will enable you to use the files.
