Premiere Pro CS6 cannot play avi with MJPG codec
Hi everybody!
I have installed Premiere Pro CS6 and wanted to import an avi file exported from 3Dmax 2009. The file IS imported, but it is black in the Monitor (Source Monitor, Program Monitor… everywhere).
1. So I have checked the Media Info in VLC, and it showed that the codec of that file is MJPG (not MJPEG with an E, but MJPG. I don’t know if that’s relevant, but better to say about it, I think)
2. Sherlock – the codec detective, says that apparently MJPEG is installed on my system (text file in attachment)
3. But I have downloaded this decodec once again and installed it. Just for sure. Then system restart… and still not good.
4. Then I have installed k-lite 9.2… still not good.
5. I have tried converting to another format, by some converter, and it worked fine… but that’s not a real solution, right? 🙂
I have run out of concepts 🙁
Do someone had those problems? Or similar? And maybe have a nice solution 🙂 ? Please, please, please.
PS: system: Win 7 64-bit
EDIT: I have noticed, that those AVI files which I’m talking about have also black thumbnails in Windows explorer. When I convert them to mp4 – the thumbnail is normal… Hope that this will help in diagnosing 🙂

NEVER install K-lite or some other codec pack. It messes up your system.
For mjpeg to play in Premiere you need the mjpeg codec.

Yes, I have read about k-lite messing-up. BUT I have installed it AFTER installing MJPEG codec on clean system didn’t solve the situation.
Then I have uninstalled k-lite, run Smarty Unninstaller and CCleaner to clean up after k-lite. Next – i have reinstalled MJPEG codec… and still nothing good 🙁
Could You be so nice and check if this file WILL open in your Premiere CS6 after you have installed this codec?

Just import this file to your sequence, and put it on timeline, and tell me if the Monitor is black while playing the timeline. If You can check if the file is playable by some players on your system (KMPlayer, VLC, or something else), it could give me some info too.
Thank You in advance – it would be so nice of You.

No, i am not going to install the codec.
I have Mainconcept and it works perfectly.The only way to get rid of K-lite is a clean windows install.

No no no, Ann, I was not asking You to install k-lte, but MJPEG! 🙂
But let me clear out some stuff:
I don’t know if I understand You properly – You are saying, that you already HAVE Mainconcept MJPEG codec on the system, and that it SOLVES the problem apparently (no black monitor)?
If that’s true – does the link you gave me earlier, is the same codec you have on your system?
Thanks. I really appreciate your time spent on my issue!

Yes i have mainconcept mjpeg on my system. No black screen.
Yes that is the link for the same codec i have on my system.

Thanks!
I have installed this demo, but – still darkness…
BUT…. . . this codec from another publisher solved the problem!!!! HURRAY!!!!
So for all of you, who had some problems with mainconcept – try Morgan Multimedia’s MJPEG codec. Available (also a demo) here:
https://www.morgan-multimedia.com/morgan/php/products.php?sProductId=4&sProductSub=downloads
Case is closed.
Once again Ann – thanks for Your time!
EDIT: my solution (worked for me):
1. Uninstall k-lite or other codec packs with some more advanced unninstaller software (I have used Smarty Unninstaller) with “cleaning after” option enabled.
2. Run CCleaner and scan registry for problems (just in case). Remember make a copy of actual registry.
3. Install MJPEG codec – Morgan Multimedia’s MPJPEG codec applicable for your system (32, or 64 bit)
4. RestartDone!
