Match Settings created unusable MPEG2 file
Guys!
I did the newbie mistake of exporting a sequence with the match settings option.
This file is all I have of the project now and I have no clue what to do with it. I have a Snow Leopard MacBook Pro with the Adobe Suite and I’m stuck. All I get is a black video file no matter what I try to encode it to! Help!

Dont use match sequence settings in the export, you end up with the wrong codec.
Use a preset or set everything manually.———————————————–

Maybe run the file through Handbrake or something and convert to .mov?

I tried converting it through MPEG Streamclip to Apple Pro Res but it came out playing black video with audio. Is Handbrake the same as MPEG Streamclip or does it work differently? And if so what should I convert the video to?
Thanks!

@Ann. I wish I had to the option to go back and do it right this time but I jumped the gun and now this MPEG2 file is all I have.

I work on the PC and was going to mention MPEG Streamclip but did not because in order to work with MPEG clips you need to purchase some $20 QuickTime add-on (not sure if this applies to Mac), but maybe that is why it is not working? Never used Handbrake, but keep hearing about it.

I think Jeff is on to something.
When ever I have gotten black video along with audio it has been because I lacked the necessary codex for the video.
