I think you are right Jeff…usually the Quicktime files import into Avid without a problem…but every so often, they have that washed out, gamma problem look. I can’t figure out why, so I think the best bet is to just avoid them.

From what I learned here I think you are right Jeff…I will stop using Quicktime as a wrapper. There are a couple of other options that don’t degrade the color like this. Thanks everybody for your help.

I work for ABC News and we are totally PC based. I use Adobe Premier but the rest of the company uses Avid. Some of the editors perfer Quicktime over AVI’s but this gamma problem makes me think that I am sticking to AVI’s.

Vince,
Thank you very much. The people I work for want the NTSC DV25 Codec…so I am sort of stuck with that. Given my limitations I think I will stick with AVI’s and just not attempt the Quicktime files. What you described is exactly what happened.

I figure out the conflict…it is between Premiere 5.5 and Matrox Utilities for the Matrox MX02 LE. Now I have to figure out why.

Thanks Jeff.
I tried that because as you say it usually works but it didn’t in this case.
I’m debating whether to just use the new User Account or to try reinstalling Premiere. I worry that reinstalling may make the situation worse.
What really worries me is how this happened to begin with.

If I check “Scale to Frame Size” the video will play but still needs to be rendered.

I think I have figured this out. As some of you suggested it appears to be a problem with the firewire port on the Qosimo’s motherboard. I disabled it, put a firewire card in the PCI Express slot and now everything works fine. If anyone knows why that should be the case I would love to find out. Meanwhile I am going to ask someone at Toshiba.

Ok now this is weird. If I go into MSCONFIG and boot only the minimum services, and no startups Premiere will play out a 20 minute timeline most of the time without a problem. If I start to add anything back in, it starts to fail. Could this be a memory problem? The Laptop has 8 gig of Ram which is the max for this laptop.

I read that somewhere too, and I think that’s the problem here.
