How To Install A52codec.component
I installed the 2018 version and when importing AVCHD clips (via media browser) no audio tracks where recognized.In the 2017 version (runs parallel) the import works without any problems.As with the latest updates, there is also the problem that when opening projects of the previous version the AVCHD clips are all offline.The old tried and tested tricks like delete mediacache, rename clip folders and rename common folders do not work.I can re-link the clips, but then get the error message that the audio tracks are faulty and can not be imported.Any suggestions? Dolby Audio decode support for Windows operating systemsIf you run a Windows operating system on your computer, all recent versions now support some form of Operating System (OS) level decode for Dolby audio.There are a few exceptions, though:.

Trent,Per your note below, I had already updated to the latest version of OSX (High Sierra 10.13) when I updated from Premiere Pro CC 2017 to 2018. Do you have any other suggestions?I have a Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, mid 2015)Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB; Intel Iris Pro 1536 MBVideo footage was shot on a Sony HDR-AX 2000 (resulting in AVCHD footage, or.MTS files in Premiere), 1920x1080 30p (29.97 Fps).Dolby audio decodingBoth Windows and OS X operating systems (Windows 8.1 or above and Mac OS X.11 or above) contain native support for Dolby decoding functions. Sorry for the difficulty!
Try one of these suggestions if you've lost Dolby functionality:1. Your simplest and best bet is to recover your CC 2017 apps as they were before you installed CC 2018. See if you can use to roll back the state of applications on your computer to before that time. On a Mac, you'd use Apple's.2. If you can't do that, then do you have a system backup or image from when you had CC 2017 installed, or perhaps it's installed on another machine? You could possibly together with the to get back to where you were before. At a minimum, you'll need both the Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder apps.3.
If neither of those strategies recover a working CC 2017 for you, then you could try moving forward with CC 2018. You could use a third-party utility like (a free open-source video transcoder) to convert your MTS/ACS files.
Rename the files and reimport them into Premiere Pro. If none of the above work, then maybe consider, at least , and press ahead with CC 2018. Meanwhile, for Mac users. Windows 8.1 or above and Mac OS 10.11 or above for Dolby decoding functions. Again, rename the applicable files and reimport them on your new setup. Going forward, when upgrading Creative Cloud apps, use to retain older CC versions rather than the default behavior, which is removing them.Hope that helps!
Hi ProDesignTools,I've followed the instructions, but have a question about this step:- get from a previous backup (or from another not-yet-migrated computer) the 'dolbycodec.framework' (located in '/Users/Shared/AdobeInstalledCodecs/1.0/' on a Mac ), and put it back there (in my case I still had the 'mcdecdd.framework' there).It seems I already have 'dolbycodec.framework' where it is supposed to be, correct?I'm assuming this is because I re-installed 2017? At any rate, 2018 still does not contain audio with my AVCHD video files. Do I need to move the 'dolbycodec.framework' elsewhere?
Hey Erika,CC 2018 is installed into a separate folder on your disk than CC 2017.CC 2017 will use the Dolby codecs in its folder on your disk, whereas CC 2018 will use (only) the codecs that are built into Windows 8 / macOS 10.11 or higher. See:So the bottom line is you can't make CC 2018 run with Dolby on older operating systems by copying over those files. Only CC 2017.The only way 2018 can decode Dolby audio is with the native support built into more modern OS's, or by using a third-party tool or plug-in. See the thread I previously linked for more info.Hope that helps clear things up! Hi ProDesignTools,That's very helpful, thank you. Curso de flutter mega. I will continue to use 2017. But one thing: I am already running the latest OSX (High Sierra, 10.13), so I don't think it's true that native support is built into more modern OS's.
Or at least, something is still buggy.The link you provided states: 'If you run a Mac operating system on your computer, macOS 10.11 and later versions support decode for Dolby audio.' Since virtually all of our footage is shot on a camera that uses Dolby audio, I am highly motivated to find a solution so that we can begin using 2018. Do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help! I can not import AVCHD (MTS-Files) with DolbyDigital (AC3) in it any more. Premiere 2017 asks for installing dolby codec and nothing happens.
Restart Premiere, import file again, again it asks for install dolby codec and so on.As discussed in this thread:The 2017-Version via Adobe Cloud App is modified: No Dolby Digital in it. In the provided link, there is no Premiere Pro 2017 download available.I use Windows 10, but that seems to be indifferent for 2017 version.- I can not use 2018er version- My project (nearly 2000 video files most with AC3 audio coded, 90% already finished) is completely without audio now.- 2017er version completely new installed via Adobe Cloud App does not solve the issue as described above.Adobe really removed an important feature also in older versions of Premiere??? I sticked to Premiere since nearly 20 years, sometimes had private licensed, sometimes (like now) my office bought licenses for the team, because I wanted to use Premiere, but what happend in the last 1-2 years make me really angry: After ANY update I have new issues and spend a lot if time solving them. But this new issue beats everything! I clearly have to rethink if I use Premiere again for the next projects. No, not necessarily. Nobody outside the companies involved really has any idea what happened in this case.Adobe was a licensee from a third-party (Dolby), who ultimately controls the use of their technology.
What took place here with a sudden drop in support was highly exceptional, and so likely not foreseen. In all other cases where the system requirements have changed, Adobe typically publishes widely-available notice well in advance.By contrast, Adobe having to pull the Dolby codec out of their products at the last minute gave the impression of being unexpected.And nobody inside either company seems able to talk about it, which could well be for legal reasons.In other words, we can only speculate on what might have happened, or who was behind the way it did. @DesignTools Looks like you do have some inside knowledge on why Adobe won't supply codecs to work with footage that they supported previously. I already tried two competitors to Adobe and both support the codec on the operating system indicated. I am hard pressed to believe that a vast, powerful, multi-billion dollar entity like Adobe is far too weak to support one lousy codec that will make the users' lives easier. The only one I see benefiting from upgrades to use all the features client pay for is Microsoft.
Follow the trail of 'who benefits' and you get close to the answer. But I am not an insider like you. No inside knowledge on this at all. Please read your own post again, and then post #42 above again, and then use logic. Because Adobe does not control the use of Dolby's technology, and because of the sudden & abrupt manner in which the removal happened, and because Adobe would not be likely to drop something like that intentionally just to save a few bucks, there's only one logical conclusion.The likelihood of 'a vast, powerful, multi-billion dollar entity like Adobe being far too weak to support one lousy codec that will make the users' lives easier,' as you say, seems remote. Just circling back to report that I worked through Adobe Customer Care to have them re-install 2017. So far, that seems to be working.
They believe the problem is not in Premiere 2018, but in my footage, since 2018 no longer supports Dolby codec. I asked the tech who was helping me whether they planned to make it possible to continue using AVCHD footage in Premiere in the future and he said he didn't know. So for now, I am going to hold onto 2017 for as long as possible to edit what are now all my legacy projects shot on my Sony. They may not have had any choice.Neither Adobe or Dolby is saying what happened (perhaps legally restricted), but it has the hallmarks of a licensing dispute.
So us trying to guess what went down is speculation.All we can say for sure is that this is highly unusual for Adobe – whenever in the past there has been a significant change in platform requirements or functionality, the company has always given plenty of notice well in advance. So, something very exceptional must have transpired for things to happen the way they did.
Heya!I am overseas right now with my Macbook Pro and I urgently need to do a “emergency demo recording” for my project.I just reinstalled the whole library of sounds of my old (2006) Drumkit From Hell Superior onto my external Hard Drive. However the problem is getting Garage Band 11 (Its the latest version) to find DFHS. Everytime I have tried installing ALL versions of the plugins (VST, AU etc) I cannot find them in my “User nameLibraryAudioPlugins” folder.Doing a search via my “Finder” cannot find any files related to “AU DFHS” or “VST DFHS”.All I can see in the former mentioned folders is a file called: A52Codec.component (Its in the Components folder), then an empty “Digidesign” and “VST” folder.(UPDATE: I found the files in the normal MAC HDLibraryAudioPlugins. All the files are there as for example “Drummer.component” or “Drummer.VST”in their respective Components or VST folders. How come Garage Band can’t find these? The icon symbol for some other present VSTs or AUs which were found by Garage Band are shown as a grey open box. The DFHS AUs and VSTs are shown as a white closed box.)Also there was no option to install any of these plugins to the external hard-drive (Note: All installations “completed successfully”).
I have tried installing the plugins from the Install Disc 1 AND also installing the provided AU + VSTs in the download section off my ToonTrack Account.(So as you can tell from my situation, I can’t even assign the root folder for the sounds which are on my external hard drive).Can somebody help a.s.a.p? I really need to finish this project in at least 7 days!Sorry for sounding so inexperienced. I am not used to doing DFHS via my Macbook Pro let alone using GarageBand (I usually use Nuendo)!Thanks in advance!
