  • Motion-Compressor source media file error

    Posted by Brian Klein on January 28, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    Has anyone seen this when trying to render out their motion files through Compressor?

    “Alert: Error trying to open source media file.”

    I have been moving between 2 machines (Macbook Pro at home and a Mac Pro at work), copying files back and forth from a firewire drive for the laptop and an internal array in the Mac Pro. There are some PSD files and video in my Motion time line, and my time lines are longer sections of video. I suspect it’s because I’ve been moving between the two machines, or because of the length of my motion time lines, but the motion files work fine, and exporting out of Motion is no problem. I would just like to be able to do a batch overnight.

    FCS 2, all Intel machines, standard def, 23.98 fps.
