  • Sorenson Squeeze 6 AVID Issue

    Posted by Warren’s Oates on February 24, 2010 at 10:48 pm

    I recently upgraded from Sorenson Squeeze 4.5 (bundled with Avid V 3.1) to Squeeze 6 and I am having major issues that Sorenson tech support can’t seem to help me with.

    Has anyone else experienced problems with Squeeze 6 not working on the same computer with Avid V 3.1? I cannot import any QuickTimes into Squeeze. Get error: “Unable to add source files.” I am currently running QuickTime V. 7.4.5 as it is the Avid approved QT. In theory Squeeze 6 should work with these versions, but it doesn’t.

    I can’t import into Sorenson either. I can only “send to”.

    Rather than importing into Sorenson, have you tried “sending to encoding”? If not, start in composer. In your bin, click on your timeline (and make sure that you have in/out points so that all ttracks are highlighted. Also make sure that your indicator is at the start of your time line.)

    Okay, so to R click on your project and “sent to encoding”. Sorenson should appear as an option. Click on it. Sorenson should automatically open. Hope it works.

    Thanks for response. Yeah, “Send to encoding” is how I usually send to Sorenson Squeeze. The problem with version 6 is that it would absolutely not import any type of Quicktime, regardless if you used the “send to” or “import file” option. After an exhausting troubleshoot, I had to revert to version 5, which works fine.
