Problems importing animation quicktimes – file error unknown file
I am working in a DV50 NTSC project with sequence settings @ 720×486 CCIR NTSC (40:27)Lower field dominance with Animation settings for compressor.
The problem is that when i attempt to import quicktimes with the animation quicktime it gives me the FILE Error Unknown file message.
I feel like i must be doing something wrong – please someone help me I have a deadline of 4pm today and I cant figure out what i am doing wrong.
thank you

Do the animation files play in quicktime?

For what it’s worth, If you sequence is DV50 your frame size should be 720×480 and not 720×486. Changing this will possibly size you some problems later in your project. It should save you a lot of render time as well.
As for the file problems, what program was used to create the animation files. Is it possible that it saves the files in a proprietary format that Quicktime can’t recognize?

To answer the questions asked – yes it does play in quicktime and the quicktimes were made in FCP and Avid – but for some reason they will not import into FCP – which is running btw the most up to date version of studio 2.
I cant figure out what it could be because I feel like i have always been able to import animation qt’s into fcp
anyone have advice

If it opens in quicktime, export it from quicktime as a millions+ Animation again.

REEXPORT IT as animation, millions+.

Jeremy’s right. It worked for me.
QT file in Animation (millions +) codec generated by Adobe Premiere wouldn’t load into FCP, but would into QT. In QT, Save as didn’t strip sh*t, but Export As fixed it. I thought perhaps it was a frame rate thing because it claimed 24.92 instead of 25, but even when I exported frame rate as Current, size Current, codec the same…it worked!
