Hi Vince,
Either I am mistaken or you are misunderstanding me. My AE stuff is fine and dandy no problems they show up on the timeline and they scroll through etc. Its my m2v files that are no longer showing up and seem to be in endless index mode. I get media pending screen that will not go away.
I do have qtpro thanks for the tips, once I get a more solid edit I will likely rerender to a better format later on my AE stuff.
I just dont know how to get pp to recognize these indexes.. is it codexes that are messed up somehow?
