  • AE import issue, mp4 solid green

    Posted by Leo Pepperrell on February 5, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    So when im trying to import a clip into AE CS5.5, it imports but it imports as a solid green (I’m guessing it means it cant play the format).

    The clip comes from a youtube video online, and is a MP4, in mediainfo the format is AVC and codec AvC1 (if that helps at all.

    I’ve tried to convert the file to an AVI, didnt work, I also tried putting it into sorenson and handbrake but no luck, even the preview comes up blank (well, black).

    I know I shouldnt be ripping youtube videos but there is an 8 second football clip which I cant find the original footage for!

    Thanks for any help
    (Sorry for being a noob)
