  • Bug report for 8.1: XDCAM EX codec seems broken

    Posted by Juan Morales on October 7, 2014 at 7:33 pm

    Hi everybody, when I updated my Premiere CC 2014 to version 8.1 today, it looks as if the XDCAM EX codec is broken.

    Even when I try to open an existing project with this codec on the timeline, it gives the following error: “This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.”

    Does someone have a workaround or solution for this, please?

    If you’re having problems with sequence presets and codecs missing from Premiere Pro, see this document for solutions for this activation issue.

    This document relates to the following problems:
    missing sequence presets when creating a new sequence
    Encore error: “Encore will not launch in non-royalty bearing mode. The application needs to be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number.”
    When opening a project in Premiere Pro: “Error Adobe Premiere Pro: This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type.”
    When importing footage, the footage is missing audio or video.

    These failures are all because Premiere Pro and Encore use some codecs that require activation before they can be used. If activation of these codecs has failed, these codecs will not be available to use.

    Logged out, logged in, did this a couple of times… No change, it still didn’t recognise the codec. And what has Encore got to do with anything?

    FWIW, footage from the EX1, EX3, PMW 320 and PMW 350 imports and plays back fine in PPro 8.1 on my Windows 8.1 machine.

    Having exactly the same problem…

    Version 8.1 on Premiere Pro CC 2014 on the mac.

    Cannot import new XDCAM footage.

    Eeek..

    Did you find a fix for the issue?

    My version is 100% legit and up to date… gonna update ‘Adobe Bridge’ incase that has any control over codecs.. and its one of the few Apps that is available for updating.

    Any help would be very well received.
