  • QT import fails, Vers. 4.2.1, please help!

    Posted by Andreas Stenschke on March 16, 2010 at 4:24 pm

    Okay, here’s the story:
    I’ve got 2 Computers – my AVID System and my new Premiere Pro System (that I hate already!) on win 7 prof.

    I exported 2 QT file from AVID Express.
    1. a QT .mov file with avid dv codec
    2. a QT .mov file animation uncompressed

    I Installed QT PLAYER and the AVID Codecs on my new PP Computer and tried to import both files into PP CS4 (Vers. 4.2.1)

    Both files were imported, Audio was okay, but video appeard black.

    I deinstalled PP and installed version 4.0 from the original DVDs. I imported the videos again and:
    Video 1 (AVID codec) imported fine and video was there!
    Video 2 QT uncompressed didn’t import! Still Audio but a black video!

    Then I updated to PP 4.2.1 and now both videos have the same problem again. Just sound and a black video…

    I need at least to be able to open an uncomressed QT .mov

    Quicktime mov. files come from a Canon EOS 5D mark II as two files, make sure you isolate the mov. file from the windows idetifier, it may say “not supported format” Open in My Pictures. Highlight all files to Tmport , they should open in Project window,but, this may not be your problem?
    Good luck !

    I should have said H264 mov High Definition 1920 x 1080, there are two files one MVI and an identifier? Which is unreadable by Premiere “File format not supported”

    I’m sorry, but I don’t have any problems with Canon…
    Please read my message again. It doesn’t work to import mov files from AVID. Not even animation codec mov.

    Hi
    You have to export without marking the Avid codec when exporting.
    AVID is strange – Guess they just wont allow any other systems to work with them.
