AE CS3 crashes when I import Quicktime Movies
Hello all,
I’m hoping someone can help me out.I’m running AE CS3 on a Vista platform with 3GB Ram and 2Ghz Processor. For some reason in the past week or so, whenever I try to import a QT movie, the program freezes and becomes completely unresponsive, forcing me to end its process manually and restart.
I’ve tried reinstalling components and a full re-install and still nothing. I am using QT 7.3 so i don’t think it’s related to the mess we’ve all been dealing with for the past week or so. Any help you all have would be much appreciated!!
thanks in advance!

Argh…it looks like computers are just out to get me this week.
I did check the codecs as you suggested. I first noticed the problem with Andrew Kramer’s Action Movie Essentials, which are in a PNG sequence format. I moved on to some jpeg sequence formats and same beef. HELP!! I don’t have quicktime pro at home (only at work) so re-exporting them isn’t the easiest. Anyone, please…please:)

Here’s a tip: Uninstall Vista, install Windows XP, and give yourself a slap for every buying that piece of crap OS.
Totally kidding, but seriously any time someone has odd problems here and they are using Vista, it’s nearly impossible to troubleshoot since no one really knows if it’s the app or the OS causing problems. Vista is a D.O.G. and every designer knows it. It is renowned far and wide to suck for this type of work.
Moving on to the issue itself, there are free programs out there that will allow you to transcode your videos into another codec. Find one that sounds good (Super C is one of the better free compression apps I’ve found) and transcode your files to something like Animation Codec. If that doesn’t work, uninstall, Vista, install Windows XP and….
