[..\..\Src\pp\\PPixHandleUtilities.cpp-114] Error

John,

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! So here is what i have to report:

I havent tried using Adobe Dynamic Link except when working with AE and i have not tried using encore yet.

The codec Pic

As you can see its a .mov file and uses the MPEG-4 Codec. I shot it with the Nikon Coolpix P100.

The read on the differences in the color of lines over my timeline was very helpful. In all of my projects i have ever worked on they have all been red and then turned green when i rendered them. I have never had any errors. This is definetly the first.

The next thing is that i have made two previous videos using this exact camera and video files. They were edited and rendered and exported perfectly, no errors. Both were made on this exact PC and no changes, software or hardware, have been made to this PC.

So i have tried a number of different project settings. I just use the preset configurations since im still kinda new at this stuff. So i have tried:

HDV 1080p25

XD CAM 1080p

DVPROHD 1080i

I use the HD setting because obviously the camera shoots full HD and thats how i want my videos. Like i said in any of these settings they line has been red but i have never had any errors before. Anyways again thanks for the reply and if there is anymore information you need from me just ask and will do my best to get that to you promptly.

So which project setting do you think would be best for working with .mov files? If there isnt one which format would you suggest i convert those files to?

I read the post in your last message and the cineform link is broken. And that Koyote converter wont work for me. However, i do already have a coverter that will convert to many different formates but would you recomend i convert my .mov files to HDV? Or something different?

So far i have tried everything that has been talked about and still nothing is working. I even started a brand new project and re edited and cut all my video and carefully watched for any missing frames and spaces. I made sure the music lined up as well and that it wasnt over any frames. I even layed a transparent over the whole thing again and its still giving me and error. One setting will actually render through the first stage and move on to the second stage but then it hangs up again. Thats when i try to export it as a quicktime movie. I have read a few plcaes that if your exporting as a quicktime movie you have to have alot of free hard drive space. But for a 5 minute video, how much space would i need? Thanks again for helping with this!
