  Trouble adding Quicktime Videos

  Posted by Paul Gerace on April 15, 2008 at 1:45 pm

  Whenever I try to load in Quicktime movie I get the error message “Error loading image file”.
  I am double clicking to open background image layer and I am able to select my Quicktime movie but
  I am getting that above message.
  I am able to load images.
  What am I doing wrong?
  I have a Mac G4, video card is good, system 10.5 and PI version 3.0.6.
  Thanks for any help that you can provide.

  Paul,

  Ah, that error message is a key piece of info that you didn’t give me before.

  For some reason particleIllusion thinks the movie is an image file. What is the exact filename of the movie including extension (if any)?

  Hi Alan. My quicktime movies all are in uppercase MOV. I changed them to mov. and they were accepted.
  Thanks for all of your support.

  Good thing we haven’t finished the 3.0.7 update yet. Thanks for figuring it out.
