Cannot Find Codec
Hi. My FCS is functioning fine. Multiple shows and spots, multiple formats, SD & HD. No problem switching back and forth opening/closing various formats.
However, I recently opened an old show show from a year ago and received the Cannot Find Codec… message (picture attached). I clicked Okay and everything connected on the timeline fine.
I am just a bit concerned about what this may be just in case I am not processing media correctly as I continue on with updating this show to it’s new edited version.
Any input/advise will be appreciated.

What are the sequence settings in this project file exactly? DV HDV, ProRes or? What is the source of the media and what are the clip’s properties?

Hi, Jerry. I hope this helps you…

Why use a dv timeline with dv50 material?
My guess is that since you are using multiclips, that FCP is getting confused with your dv50 multiclips and dv timeline.

Okay, Jeremy. Thanks. I’ll try some different configurations. I’m a Producer with an offline FC system and I am still learning, especially when it comes to appropriate sequence settings.

Do you have any still pictures in the sequence…and are they CMYK or Greyscale instead of RBG?

No, Shane. No stills in this show. Only video from the same camera source and three stock footage (HD) video clips.
For clarification, I have blown out this Mac and performed a complete from scratch re install since this project file was originally created. I figured there may be some codec file it originally married to, was missing now.
Some of the original QT media files are missing and I am re ingesting now from the MXF files to see if I can re assemble the timeline seamlessly. I’ll update the thread if all renders and outputs normal, and if the error message continues to appear when opening a fully rendered timeline.
Thanks.
