Error importing Quicktime Ref file

Question

Until yesterday i could import a quicktime reference file from AVID to AME. Since today i get the message that the file may be corrupted. I did a test with different files (also with files which worked until yesterday) and i got always  the same error message. I didn`t made any changes in my settings.
Last thing i tried: I imported the "corrupted" file into After effects and made a composition. The composition was accepted by AME without any errors.

That's how I got to Adobe, when Media Composer 6 came out with all the issues.  I uninstalled Avid completely, went to the Adobe Cloud thinking the grass was greener with all the hype.  I do high end weddings and my sequences are normally anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour long and I grade every single clip.  That means hundreds or over a thousand or so clips and lots of noise removal for the reception parts.  The built in filters for color grading in Premiere is way too hard to use and are nothing like anything I have ever used to color grade with, so the only options were Colorista or go to After Effects and use Color Finesse.  Don't like Colorista, way to limiting, if you have ever done real color grading, you will know what I mean.  Adobe Dynamic Link for the first couple of clips works okay but soon every time you move in Premiere you have to wait 30 seconds or more for the frame to come up, even with quality turned all the way down.   When I finally would finish a project and try to open in Encore it would take 20 minutes to open, would work a little and then Encore would crash.   Wait another 20 minutes for it to open, repeat the process over and over again.  Tried to encode the project first in AME and it was not unusual to get 10 hours into an encode and then Adobe would just stop encoding for no reason (lots of others having same issues, no fix just lots of troubleshooting and workarounds).  When I finally did get through the  22 hours render if there was no issues with the project I would take it into Encore where things would go faster but Encore has lots of issues (can't burn directly to disk, you have to built to a folder and then burn that to disk and not to mention all the errors you get when trying to build to the folder).   If you are going to create DVDs and a Blu-rays you have to created projects in Encore for both from scratch.
Spent days every project reading forums where others are having the same issues, trying different workarounds and after finally getting it done, the next project running into the same issues.  I have only mentioned a couple of the issues I had and lots of other people are having also, with no real fixes, just lots of troubleshooting or workarounds.  Every project I would try something new like, I will try to simplify my work flow and try to do everything in Premiere and maybe it will work better and faster.  Color Finesse has a version that can work in Premiere Pro, so maybe if it works, I will buy it and work only in Premier.  Got the demo and nope, not only does it crash but Premier Pro does not through 32bit video to Color Finesse so that makes that program useless, glad I did not buy it.  According to Synthetic Aperture this is a Premiere thing and there solution was to send a product suggestion to Adobe.
Again, this is a brief overview of some of the issues I ran into without 99% of the details.  After months of trying to find a suitable workflow I had to give up.  After a few days of searching for a suitable workflow with Avid, I found one.  Now I add timecode to all video and tape names, transcode all video to DNxHD 36, (about 2 - 3 Hours) edit in Avid, with all titles speed effects etc, AAF to Resolve, color grade, render (about 1 to 2 hours)and back to Avid AAF DNxHD 175x check the final and export a QT Reference file (2 minutes to render out).  Final transcoding to a Blu-ray about 1 hour.  May not seem simple but it is, and things never get sluggish, everything just works that is until I get to Encore.  What was taking weeks in Adobe only takes days in Avid.
My suggestion before you make any permanent changes, complete a real project from start to finish and test the workflow with Adobe. Maybe it will work for you and your needs.  I know not every person is having every issue I have had, but I cannot imagine how anybody trying to use Adobe has got it working efficiently the way they advertise it to work.  No matter what anyone says, I would have to stand over their shoulder and watch them from start to finish to believe them.  Maybe the Matrox will speed things up a bit but I am not familiar with how all that works.  I know lots have complained about how Avid runs with Matrox.  The thing I can say about Avid is within a couple of day I was able to get around the defects of it and come up with a workflow that works, Adobe I was not, even after weeks and months of trying.
And yes I had issues with Avid before and a rebuild of the databases helped.
