  • importing video files

    Posted by John Hartman on August 14, 2009 at 11:46 pm

    Just bought a “used” AE 6.5 for Windows standard software.

    Am attempting to import video files from my camera/hard drive.

    Camera footage is in the .MOV file format name.

    The AE 6.5 HELP says that 6.5 supports .mov

    Is .mov different than .MOV ?

    AE 6.5 will NOT import these files, but my AE Version 4 will.

    Anybody know why this is happening?

    Is your AE 4 on the same machine? It sounds like a missing codec. QuickTime is a wrapper (.mov) that can use a wide variety of codecs, not all of them standard, or even crossplatform. Sounds like your camera records to some codec that needs to be installed on your system.
