Import video problem

[jmart714]

Hey guys,

 

I've been trying to import a quicktime movie as a rotoscope for sometime without success. The only real info I've found says to rightclick on the camera and select new rotoscope. It also says to change the file type to what ever I'm importing, but I never see that option. The video shows up in my choreography as black video, which I think means it doesn't read the codec. I have a MacPro, running OSX tiger, with quicktime pro. So I would think that my computer has the proper codec for Quicktime movies. I've tried many different compressors on the quicktime movie, Animation, Sorenson, and even None. Neither work. What I really want to do, is insert a model in live action footage, so if there is a better way to do this, I will take that advice too. Thanks.

are you using the latest version of qt...it might be causing the problem

 

 

 

update I uninstalled the latest quicktime and installed the version before that and the rotoscope problem you mentioned disappeared

I wish I didn't have to do that, but I'll give it a shot, thanks.

I've surprisingly just run into the same error in A:M on my MacBook Pro. Any video exported from QuickTime Pro 7.4 (92) imports into A:M as black, though for a split second, the first frame splashes itself across the project workspace before disappearing. Is this problem isolated to Macs? If so, what version of QuickTime did you downgrade to in order to eliminate the import glitch?

 

Ugh. Downgrade. <_>
