Any thoughts on this? I’ve never seen anything like it.

My movie is 7 GB. The subject is a screen capture of my live visual music performance using Max/MSP software to manipulate video. It’s on DropBox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4iznfsax95gc17r/emoti_array.mov?dl=0

In Premiere it now shows with diagonal grey stripes. When I copy and replace it from the bin nothing changes. When I play it with Quicktime it runs for only 9 seconds and stops. When I play it in VLC it runs full length over 30 minutes. The only problem is the play head will not scroll through the movie – after the first 9 seconds, it sits at the right hand edge of the frame as the movie plays. And I also think it has dropped frames.

So is this fixable? And how? If so, I think I can re-import it into Premiere and get back to work.

Thanks

More info: Strangely, I copy the file and open it in VLC. Now it plays but it does not show the play position timeline (it’s always hovering at the right end of the screen) even though the time continues normally (now at over 8 minutes and counting). So is there something I can do now to reset the preview – or allow it to indicate where it is in the stream? I hope this is clear… In any case I’m much relieved to see much more of the film present than it seemed at first… So heart attack avoided, and any thoughts, much appreciated…

I have a similar and maybe worse problem – my one and only copy of a 7.17 GB 20 minute file is still where I left it on my external hard drive. It still reads 7.17 GB, but now it’s only 9 seconds long (when I click and play it), and it has the grey stripes. When I try to replace it in Premiere it has a much shorter bar – which could make me think it has been overwritten. However I don’t think I overwrote it. And I’ve no idea what might have happened. Any thoughts? solutions?

Thanks,
