ProTools Error Message- Video Contains No Frames

Enos · 27th November 2009, 03:04 PM

Hi guys!
I'm just enquiring regarding an error message that I'm getting in ProTools. This message comes up when I try to import a standard DV PAL Quicktime movie into the session. It says something on the lines of:

Import failed as the video contains no frames.

It plays back perfectly on the same computer via Quicktime so I'm a bit unsure as to what it might be!

Anyone had this happen to them?

re-name the file. no funny characters, hyphens, dots etc. maybe keep the name short too

You have an illegal character either in the file name or in the path name.
