    What codec is your sequence base?
    What codec is your media?
    Do you have any illegal characters in the media names?
    What is the resolution of your media?
    Do you have any media over 4K in dimension?

    hello

    the original media is Mpeg4 ,i logged and transfered to apple pro res 422

    the sequence settings are: Xdcam ex 1080p 25

    the resolution is full HD

    no illegal characters in the media and no footage over 4k dimensions

    Ps: earlier i updated the Mac pro in the software update and some new codecs are downloaded.could that have done a conflict with the project? because im not facing this prob with only this project but also with another project that is shot in dufferent format and different codecs, plus that I opened both the projects on another Mac and they worked normally.

    if its a software update issue, what should i do?

    thanks
