PPro CC Video Preview codecs
I have Avid, Black Magic, Aja and Grass Valley codecs installed on my PC system running PPro CC. How come when I open the codec menu under Sequence settings-Video Previews, I only see Aja and the other MS codecs as choices? Why do I not see all my codecs I have installed? I see all of the codecs if I do an export render, but not for my preview choices. What determines what codecs are used for that setup in previews? Why just Aja?

I made a bet with my assistant that someone on here knows the answer to my question.

That has to do with the install of the 3rd party players/software. Blackmagic use to show up there and I am surprised it’s not for you. However Transmit removed the need to use Blackmagic sequence settings to initialize the card so they may have removed that. Media Encoder just requires plugin files for the codecs to show up there and most of the installers do that for the 3rd party players now that support Adobe. Are you on Mac or PC btw?

I am on windows 7 PC with PPro CC. I used to see DM show up in the Preview setup, but after installing the Aja codecs, the BM stop showing up?

I also have the Lagarith Lossless codec installed and that seems ok. I don’t use previews on final output render, so it shouldn’t make too much difference. But it would be good to preview the quality as it will be on final output render.

You will have to contact Blackmagic on that. There shouldn’t be any reason that Aja’s installer is removing the Blackmagic Player codecs. They should look at that.
