I can relate to what maverick is saying. Im working on several projects in AE, importing a several .mov files into AE for each project. All video was shot on the same day, with the same camera using the same settings. Seemingly at random AE will crash upon importing one of the .mov files. This has happened on 3 of the 12 projects im currently working on where one .mov just randomly refuses to import. Most of the other .movs work perfectly fine.

I’d say it was a problem with the source video, but all the vids are from the same shoot. Most work, some don’t.

One thing I did notice, I had to replace some of the audio in a couple files and did so through QT7. When I brought new cleaner audio in from another QT file, I noticed there were issues if the audio had been saved as an AIFF. IF I saved the audio as an mp3 before bringing into my video, it didn’t give me any problems.

I know QT is just a container so maybe some element of the AIFF is corrupting the .mov file upon entering AE.

Still, this hasnt happened on every file where I’ve replaced the audio. It’s very random.
