  Layer Icon: small traffic cone?

  Posted by Eric Chard on June 26, 2013 at 5:26 pm

  I’m working on a client’s machine and just encountered a Layer icon in the Timeline I’ve never encountered before: a tiny traffic cone.

  I’m not familiar w/this, and never saw it on my machine. What does it indicate? It’s an *.mp4 file.

  Thanks.

  Can you post a screen grab?

  I have that on mine as well. I believe that it is due to VLC media player being installed. That Is the icon for that program. It looks like AE uses the system icons for media,

  Interesting! My home system doesn’t have VLC so I suspect you’re right.

  Of all the things to get RIGHT in the OS,when they ignore other, more pressing problems!
