Sounds like you’re missing a codec. Have you received some footage from someone else that uses a codec you don’t have?

Are you running AE at the same time as Final Cut Pro, or any audio program that uses the firewire output or any AJA or Decklink card? If so, then the solution is really simple (at least for me and my AJA Io):
When you leave AE, click on your desktop before switching to the other program, and do the same when switching from that other program back to AE. Clicking on the desktop switches to the Finder and releases the card or FireWire output from whatever is currently using it. It’s one little extra step, but works for me every time. You should also be able to do the same even after getting the warning. Just get rid of the Quicktime message, click on the desktop, then click back on AE. Might take a couple of tries, but it should work.
Good luck!

you know — after reading this and what I’ve been through today with my computers THAT there is a huge consumer base ripe for the picking. I mean a large financial windfall to someone who wants to put out a platform like the Amiga. This frankenstein platform that is the PC is so patched together with DEAD body parts that it’s a real setup to get knocked off by something that works.
