.MooV not supported --Need help!

[P***@adobeforums.com]

The problem is that AE keeps saying that my .mov files are a .MooV file type.

The message "After effects error: file cannot be imported --files of "MooV" are not supported."

All of the files are self contained quicktime files, and I'm pretty much stumped on it. Because what's weird is that one day they'll open up, and other days they wont.

If anyone has any help that would be great! or even knowing where to get help.

Trash the prefs and/or your "Interpretation Rules.txt" file. Either of the two may be damaged. Also clean out all media cahces/ disc caches. Sometimes damaged cahces block MediaCore and it refuses to import anything. And of course have a look at Quicktime itself. Perhaps some silly update bent your configuration...

I had this same problem. I don't know if this will work for you but I just installed the newest version of QT and it imported fine. GOOD LUCK

had this too, on one mov out of 3 generated by smoke.

it opened in quicktime but looked heavily compressed, AE didn't like it at all. i rendered it again and it was fine.

put it down to smoke making a corrupted file.

can you open it in quicktime?

can you have them remade?

incidentally, why do some of my paragraphs always italicize? it's really weird.

A paragraph that begins with a lowercase 'i' followed by a space is formatted as italic. Try using your Shift key.

Ah, i see. that's my dodgy typing shortcuts coming back to haunt me.

Thanks
