CF5 doesn't seem to work with AE-CS3

Jose Ortiz · July 19th, 2007, 04:35 PM

Well Steve, I follow your steps and now I'm able to watch the cineform files in AE but Im worried about those two files that we have to remove or delete to make it work. I noticed that the version build 86 still having the same issue too.
Is the build 86 working for you in normal circumstances or you have to do this process of removing the files in this version?
What this two removed files means for AE after all.

By the way I think that you should be the right person to promote a Premier Pro Cs3 Floridian Users Reunion. Would be nice !

hehe!

Jose,

As far as I can tell, the files you hide from AE are only for importing files. Since you are importing Cineform files, you will have no problem. If you need to use those files in a standard definition project, keep them handy and copy them back into the correct directory.

Don't worry about it. If you can import, you are OK.

Jose Ortiz · July 19th, 2007, 07:23 PM

Thanks a lot Steve

Ferdi Willemse · July 27th, 2007, 05:36 AM

None of all this worked for me..

I deleted both files, ran the registry file, but AE just keeps complaining that it doesn't recognize the file extension.

Steven Gotz · July 27th, 2007, 07:43 AM

The file extension is AVI?

Ferdi Willemse · July 27th, 2007, 07:45 AM

Yeah, just AVI. I can import AVI's as long as I don't remove both the files as described. But then my import problem isn't solved.

Same problem here.

With is not occur with any of our Prospect HD users, not so it is likely just a setting and separates why it work for some users are not others. I'm out of the office until Monday, so please work with support.

Steven Gotz · July 27th, 2007, 09:11 AM

Just to make sure that Cineform has the information, let's make it clear.

You deleted the two files, ran the registry hack, and then tried to import Cineform AVI files, not DV AVI.

Is that correct? Because to import DV AVI you need to put the files back.

Ferdi Willemse · July 27th, 2007, 09:14 AM

Exactly, just plain CineForm Avi files, captured with build 86 (Aspect HD 5)

David Newman · July 27th, 2007, 09:20 AM

Sorry I want be of much help today. But try this. Uninstall AHD, and install PHD, run AE (see that it works.) Uninstall PHD, reinstall AHD. I'm wondering if there is a library that PHD installs that AHD is missing -- this might fix it. If it does, tell support and we will have a build with this first on Monday.

Ferdi Willemse · July 27th, 2007, 10:11 AM

Thanks David,

I'm still rendering some stuff in AE7, I'll see what it does when it's done.

Ferdi Willemse · August 16th, 2007, 05:47 AM

An update from the front :)
Sorry it took me so long. I've been too busy. Anyway, I just tried PHD, but it doesn't make a difference.

David Newman · August 16th, 2007, 08:02 AM

While we don't know why you can't use the AE7 importer in CS3, we have a build coming in a few days that doesn't require it.

Ray Bell · August 16th, 2007, 12:18 PM

I'm waiting on the fix for AECS3 also...
