Overview The BlackMagic (BM) Motion JPEG codec is the codec that is used to create the AVI files generated during the film capture through the BlackMagic Intensity Pro capture card from the Sniper units. The codec is maintained in the final file that is generated by the Cinecap VelocityHD program.

Issue

When these AVI files are ingested into the various NLE programs, these programs need to be able to translate the AVI files. Customers have reported that Adobe's Premier Pro (CS 4 or CS5) does not natively ingest these files. One person with a new system (quad-core PC, 8GB RAM, Win7 64bit) and CS5 and our website sample download got the dialogue box that said: "The project file appears to be damaged"....he could however play it using a player on his system.

Install Codec

However, it cannot hurt to have the BlackMagic Motion JPEG codec. Here's the instructions on how to install it:

It appears that they've repackaged things and the codec can now be downloaded in something called "Desktop Video". The other person that downloaded this had no problems and even found a cool utility to analyse his drive configuration for editing HD footage. The direct link to download it for windows (xp, vista and 7) is here:
