Question

Cinepak AVI codec

I'm currently running ME 15.4.1 on Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19043 & don't laugh at me but I need to create a cinepak codec AVI file. This is for a strange resolution 6688x24 & is the requested delivery format. Is there any way to get ME to create the file or is it just a none starter meaning I'll have to look outside Adobe CC?

 

Thanks!

To the best of my memory, Cinepak was only supported via QuickTime and was discontinued not too long after the introduction of the Sorenseon Video CODEC.  This is just a ball park, but if I needed to create a Cinepak movie today I'd be looking for a Quadra840AV or similar running Mac OS 7.6.  Cinepak also has some fairly strict macro-block requuirements for the frame size.  240-by-180 or 20-by-240 were good.  6688-by-24?  I'd worrry a little bit.

 

In addition to finding an old Mac running Mac OS 7.6, I'd look After Effects 2 or 3.1.  You'll at least get as far as addding a 6688-by-24 frame size Comp to the Render Queue to render as a QuickTime movie with the Cinepak CODEC (it's included with that era of QuickTime).

 

A Windows98 or WindowsNT box with compatible version of QuickTime installed and After Effects might also work.
