    hi,
    i have a dual xeon 3.0 Ghz system with nvidia gf 6000 graphic card.

    When i try import a quicktime movie After effects freezes and gives no response.

    If a select “disable thumbnails in project pane” from the Preferences>Display menu, i can import the mov file safely but this time when i try to preview it on the composition window it again freezes.. any ideas or solutions about this problem? thanx

    in any mov files this problem occurs. resolution has no effect. i tried a lot of diffent mov files even 100×100 files without any audio could not been diplayed.. and about the codec it is qt 7.2..

    btw i tried the “open as gif” solution.. it works.. but it is not always so practical to do this every time i import a mov file..

    Me 2 having the same problem.

    And for me its a quicktime with FOTO-JPEG Compression which works without problems in AE 7 Pro

    I tried turning off OpenGL but didnt help. OpenGL-Info says everything is supported.

    Any Idea?

    i have been experiencing the same situation. when i open the mov file in premiere, it takes 15 minutes to conform audio. while it is conforming audio, premiere is unresponsive (as is AE7). once it is done, though, everything is back to normal.

    one workaround, albeit NOT a solution, is to import into premiere, wait for conformation to occur (look at your bottom right-hand corner for conformation progress) and then export the movie.

    you could also use any number of tools to do this conversion. please remember that converting from one container to another (mov to avi, for example) implies in significant video quality degradation!

    i am currently verifying if the problem is not with video, but with audio sample rates. the file i am opening is 32000 kHz and the standard for dv is 48000 kHz.
