HDV presets missing

[Sam Cornelis]

I admit, this is a very old thread – but since I just dealt with this problem, I think it is still relevant to tell what solved my problem:

On a mac you have to delete the preference file:
users>Hard drive>Library>Preferences>com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.4.0.plist

A little later, the same occured with After Effects. It suddenly couldn’t read any HDV file (mpeg, m2v, large photoshop files, …). Deleted a similar preference file, and everything is back to normal:
users>Hard Drive>Library>Preferences>com.Aftereffects.plist

Actually, for AE, there were different preference files, I deleted them all.

Good luck.
