Both me and Whitlock Dunbar are suffering from this problem too – see this thread

Rather worrying and annoying really. I’ve tried importing many different .movs which I’ve had no problem importing in the past and which open up fine in Quicktime to no avail.

Also as a side note it still says ‘.mov’ in the drop down list in the import dialogue window as an acceptable file.

Hmmmmm, how frustrating!

I’m suffering from the same maddening problem. I’ve recently got up to AE CS3 and up until a few weeks ago everything was fine but since last week I’ve been unable to import ‘.movs’ being confronted with the similar

After Effects error: file ‘FILE_NAME.mov’ cannot be imported — files of type ‘.mov’ are not supported.

(note there’s no error code)

ARGH!

I’ve re-installed After Effects and also Quicktime (with Quicktime Pro) and nothing has changed. I’ve opened the same project and imported the same ‘.mov’ on another computer and it works fine.

I’ve briefly read the link that Dave La Ronde supplied and although really useful doesn’t help immediately although I’ll go back and properly disect it once I’ve got a coffee…

Anyone else suffering from this?

Thanks

Jim
