QuickTime Reference Movie Issue–Black Output
Hi, I’m a new AVID Media Composer user, and I could really use some help.
I just Imported about 24 hours of 720p/29.97 MP4/M4V footage (24 files, each 1 hour long) using the “HDV 720P MXF” option from the “Select Files to Import” menu for use in a 720P/29.97 project. It took about 48 hours.
I need to be able to create sequences and export QT Reference files for use in Sorenson Squeeze and Adobe Encore.
I created a small test sequence to make sure that this would work (Obviously, I should have imported one file and tried this with that.), but, when I exported the QT Reference file, all that you can see in the video is a black screen (when viewed in QT 7.7.4) or a white screen (when viewed in Sorenson Squeeze).
The sequence plays perfectly from within MC.
Please tell me that you can export conformed HDV footage to a usable QT Ref. file.
Does anybody know how to fix this issue without simply transcoding everything all over again?
Also, in an attempt to fix this issue, I downloaded and installed AVID Codecs LE 2.3.4 after creating a system restore point. I now realize that this may have been a mistake. Did it overwrite the versions of the codecs that came with MC 7.0?
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just for grins, as a small test, do a video mixdown of about 10-15 seconds of part of your sequence … making sure the mixdown is rendered in 145 DNxHD, place the mixdown on a top layer in the sequence and export a QT ref of that or even a 30 second clip that includes the mixdown portion and see if it will play.
