DNxHD codec gone from After Effects after I uninstall Avid Media Composer
DNxHD codec gone after I uninstalled Avid Media Composer. Re-installing Avid Media Composer, installing the DNxHD codec separately doesn’t solve the issue. I tried uninstalling both Avid and AE, then installing Avid, then installing AE – same story.
When I choose Quicktime, it doesn’t show DNxHD codec option in the codec list. I bought a new computer, installed Avid there, then AE and DNxHD codec was there. I was happy till I had to uninstall Avid and again, the DNxHD codec was gone from the drop-down menu after I did this. All the installing- uninstalling doesn’t solve the issue. I’m afraid I’ll have to use system recovery to start the whole thing over.
Isn’t there a better solution for this? Does anybody know how I can bring the DNxHD codec back to the AE? Thank you.

I downloaded Avid DNxHD codec separately, as I mentioned it, and installed it. After Effects still wouldn’t see it. It’s still gone from the Quicktime codec option menu. On both computers.
I’m using the full Avid version.
And like I said, this same thing happened in the EXACT same manner on two different computers. Installing codecs doesn’t solve this issue. Installing Avid again doesn’t solve it either. For some reason when I install Avid, then After Effects it on a CLEAN system for the first time, the codec is there. ONCE I delete Avid, that’s it, the codec is gone forever no matter how much installing and uninstalling I do.

Lol, it’s totally fine. I’m grateful for any help at this point. Yes, I didn’t have to uninstall Avid. I regret doing so now because apparently installing it back doesn’t solve this issue.
And I agree, it’s some unique operational issue. My only hope was that someone else had encountered something similar and could suggest options. Thanks again! Any help is much appreciated. 🙂

I’ll try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Omg, I found solution on the Adobe forum. After Effects couldn’t see the codecs because when I deleted Avid, apparently, they were deleted from the QT System folder.
I went to C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTComponents folder, copied all *.qtx files and pasted them into C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem folder. AND AFTER EFFECTS finally saw it!!! I have all my Avid codecs back in the QuickTime codecs options 😀
