QuickTime / Avid errcodes

[Grinner Hester]

where are these files coming from?
have you tried re rendering them in AE?
I know this is the third time in three threads I have suggested this but a nice clean QT with the proper avid codec often solves alot of issues.
I have gotten this error with certain avi files and making a fresh quicktime fixed me up.

Hey Grin – always a pleasure.

1. I create them – QT (H.264) export from the Avid, placed in a folder, then re-imported at a later date. They’re low-res reference files with BITC, by which I have audio people sync their mix up to. I need to re-import them just to line’em up – satisfying my frame-accurate neuroticies.

2. I’m completely AE inept. Looove too mant Avid 3rd party plug-ins that do much of the AE job.

3. Agree… but don’t have much luck using Avid codecs. Too many edits for indie and student filmmakers that hire audio folks and FCP assistant editors that don’t understand/are incompatable with/have no time to dnld/are just dumb about Avid codecs.

I’ve heard that some errcodes are the result of bad/corrupt Windows folders that the QTs are stored in. Not sure how good that info is.
