<p>I installed the GoPro CineForm codec recently and used VDub to create a CineForm AVI file. Works fine in MPCHC, VDub, etc.
It won't import into Premiere Pro CS6 though. I get an error about an unsupported or damaged file.
When exporting, "CineForm AVI" and "CineForm MOV" are both options, and I can export timelines as CineForm AVI that, again, works fine in MPCHC and VDub but won't import into Premiere.
For a while I was getting this error when opening AME, but it stopped after a reboot:</p>

<p>Monitor: PProHeadless.exe - System Error</p>

<p>The program can't start because CFHDDecoder64.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. </p>

<p>OK   </p>

<p>I'm still getting this error when I open After Effects:</p>

<p>After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load.  Please reinstall these plugins:

# Issue Importing CineForm to Premiere CS6

OK

I'm still getting this error when I open After Effects:

After Effects warning: The following plugins have failed to load. Please reinstall these plugins:

OK
