Quicktime .movs error Premiere CC. Damaged or unsupported file type.

I'm having major problems with Quicktime .movs (anims & prores) in Premiere CC - which is making it completely unuseable.
Sometimes the files load and work but 90% of the time I get the unsupported file type error.
I've double checked the files are fine on various computers and they are, but Premiere CC refuses to work properly with them.
A project with 10 clips - each time I open a few open fine and work - but never all of them and it randomly changes which ones work and which ones are unsupported.
Any ideas would be most appreciated!
Windows 8 64bit
Premiere CC
Quicktime 7.7.4
Quadro 2000 - have tried both latest official driver and the later Beta driver with no difference.
Cheers

I wondered if the fact different ones load and then it stops was a memory issue.
Can you suggest the best way to encode my clips for HD Quality on Premiere CC for PC? Would it be image sequences?

  • Unable to restore bookmarks from XP to Windows 7 due to unsupported file type

    Im having problems transferring my bookmarks from xp machine to a Windows 7 machine. I just verified that both machines are running Firefox v. 4.0.1.

  • DVD-MOV mpegstream clip error: "File open error: unsupported file type"

    I do it all the time this is the only time i've gotten this error, i use mpeg stream clip. I have a dvd I got from a DVR recorder, I open the dvd which shows 2 VOB files in the TS folder. the MENU gives "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks." I "Fix Now" and it works fine. But i dont want the menu. the other VOB file in the TS folder, which should be the "movie I want" gives this error when opened,
    "File open error: unsupported file type"
    when I open anyway, I get an audio bar which has no sound, and no video.
    ANY IDEAS? I've been on this for hours PLEASE

    Hi,
    Do you have the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> installed on your computer? If not, you will need it to be able to convert VOB files.

  • Importing .mov "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" error

    I have a .avi video from a camera and wanted to burn to a dvd to watch on dvd player. I converted the video to .mov but when I dragged into iDVD I received an error stating "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format". I converted to a .mp4 hoping that might work and had the same error. As far as I remembered .mov and .mp4 should work in iDVD and iMovie but I had the same error in both programs.
    Converted to .mov with iSquint, and to .mp4 with Quicktime.
    Any suggestions?

    hi,
    thank you for responding...  i followed your instructions and this is what comes up when i try to open the movie:
    QuickTime Player can't open_______.mov
    To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.
    i've done nothing different with this movie.  it's the 2nd part of a longer project that i had to break into two parts.  the first part was successfully burned to disk.  i'm at a loss as to why this one is 'different' and why anything else might be required to make it work properly.
    btw, here's the info from the entire project: 
    format: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (853 x 480)

  • Unsupported file type (.mov)

    I am using Adobe After Effects CS4 (9...)
    I am trying to create Andrew Krammer's ,,crumble" effect (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/procedural_crumble/)
    If you skip at 23:44 you will see that he is adding an imported .mov file.
    Everytime i try to import a .mov file, i get the following error: After Effects error: Can't import file "NAME.mov": unsupported file type or extension.     ( 0::1 )
    I think I have what I need: QuickTime 7.7.1 (it's the latest version I found, right from Apple's website)
    (I don't know if this really helps:) When i click File>Export> QuickTime is disabled, not selectable. It says: QuickTime 7.4.1 or later required (even though i have 7.7.1)
    I do not really want to convert the .mov into anything else because I saw that the .mov file (from Andrew Krammer's video) don't display the background, only the dust (in my case). Other video types DO display the black background. The files I try to import to AE work (they can be opened with QuickTime, no errors)

    What is your OS? After Effects requires QuickTime. Is your AE up to date?

  • How can a .mov be an "unsupported file type"?

    I've saved a PowerPoint presentation as a .mov and it plays fine on its own (as a quicktime movie.) It also shows up as availabe file in my "movies" pane. However, when I try to drag it into a drop zone, I get the following error message: "Unsupported File Type: Unknown Format" but it's a .mov file!??
    What's going on?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I'm going to answer my own question so others may benefit
    After some serious thinking I did the following and it worked: I imported the .mov file (in this case a PowerPoint presentation) into iMovie where it became a simple clip, then saved that as a new .mov, and now it's suddenly recognizable to iDVD! Simple, huh? I bet it works with all kinds of "unsupported file types" as long as you can get them into iMovie...

  • Unsupported file type: broken reference movie in ...

    This happened to me today, and I wanted to record this for search engines to find. It's probably a rare event and hopefully, dear reader, it will not happen to you.
    So I import my FCE movie into iDVD, and iDVD tells me, "Unsupported file type: broken reference movie in (filename)", and won't import it. Okay, this movie is not self-contained, so let's export it again and see if that fixes things. No such luck. Other things I tried which did not help:
    * Exported movie both as a self-contained movie and a not self-contained movie.
    * Tried cleaning all FCE render files and rebuilding.
    * Looking through system logs with Console app.
    * Quit/restart iDVD.
    * Rebooting.
    * Seems that a LiveType fragment in FCE was not rendered completely for some reason. I drill down to find the red-lined unrendered fragments and render them. Then I drill down futher and find more. I render them all.
    After a while, I notice that QuickTime Player can play the movie just fine, and I begin to doubt that I understand what "broken reference" means.
    I finally try exporting the movie from FCE to a different filename. iDVD is OK with that! What's in a name? Something has remembered that the filename itself is bad. Must hunt down the cause....
    Looks like some bad data is stored in the /Users/YOUR-NAME/Library/Caches/com.apple.idvd plist. It says the 'isValid' property for this filename is 'No'. That can't be good. I removed the entry for the troublesome filename with Property List Editor (developers have this) and restarted iDVD. That fixed it!
    Those without Property List Editor can delete com.apple.idvd -- it's a cache, and iDVD will create a new one. Actually, a better practice is to rename the file until you're sure you haven't seriously broken iDVD.

    I'm thinking I likely would have deleted both preference files. The one for iDvd as well as FCE and then started over with a fresh export of the QT ref. movie from FCE => iDvd
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    com.apple.FinalCutExpress.plist
    That is i'm guessing this is the correct plist for FCE since mine reads:
    com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    lastly, i'd do this:

  • Error message "unsupported file type"

    I know I saw this topic before, but never saw an answer. I am using mpeg streamclip...can convert all .vob files to .dv but cannot do the 1st .vob file and it is part of the home movie! I get the error message "unsupported file type". I don't have a problem with any of the other 4 .vob files.

    Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
    If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

  • R3D Damaged or Unsupported File

    Hi all-
    I'm pretty stumped by this problem.  I have a ton of .R3D footage shot on a Scarlet.  Most of the footage imports fine into Premiere Pro CS6.0.1, but some of the files won't import.  They give me the "Damaged or Unsupported file" warning.  What is interesting is that some of the "damaged" clips are from the same card/shoot that contain other clips that play fine.  This is happening to me and 4 other editors I have been working with.  I've searched all over the internet trying to find a solution to this and have found that many RED users are running into the same thing.  Some people suggest restarting the program and trying it again, which I have done to no avail.  I've watched the clips in RED CINE-X and they play fine. 
    At this point I'm stumped.  Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution?  I know I could go ahead and transcode the clips, but with about 100 clips that give this warning, I don't want to have to do that.  Is there going to be an update from Adobe that could solve this?
    Thanks in advance for you help,
    -Mark

  • File open error: unsupported file type Mpeg Streamclip

    having a problem... I am using mpeg streamclip to convert vob files from a dvd. the problem is that the program says that the first vob file is an unsupported file type. I know that this is not true. The DVD plays, and the remaining vob files are opened and processed by the program correctly. Any advice or suggestions?

    I am having the same problem. The first VOB file in the sequence will not open in either Streamclip or Quicktime. This is not the menu display image, but the first chunk of the video (the menu image actually will open). All the ones after it can be opened either individually or joined as a group.
    The DVD plays fine on the mac and also in the regular DVD player. Any idea if this is perhaps some equipment fault when the DVD burner "finalizes" the disk? Am using a combo VHS/DVD-R unit. It is not super high-end, but then neither are these old home videos I'm converting.

  • "Unsupported file type" error Msg on received email - DX2

    Hi JR39,
    The error message outlined in your post indicates that your email message includes a file that is not compatible with any of the applications included in your phone. You may look for a compatible third party application that will allow you to read/access the files in question.
    Please note that Verizon Wireless does not recommend/support any 3rd party applications and if you encounter any issues with a 3rd party application you will need to contact the application's developer for assistance.

  • Unsupported File Type : Unknown format - idvd surely knows .mov

    I have just installed IDVD 7 03 (ilife'09) and it won't take in .mov or .mp4 or any other video format.
    I'm on macbook pro 10.5.8.
    Unsupported File Type : Unknown format - comes up when I drag it over.
    Begging for help here! Have a client waiting on a DVD i promised!

    I don't really know but feel doubtful as
    DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-video with a frame rate of 25 fps (PAL) or 29.97 fps (NTSC)
    the feeding it progressive material in HD and in some cases as 24 fps  - must be problematic.
    I would
    a. Import my movie into iMovie
    b. Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other res. as result will suffer)
    c. In iDVD import from Media button and Movie and here find Your movie and drop it into iDVD menu window

  • IDVD: Files exported from iMovie 11, one works, one "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format"

    I used footage from the same camera (taken on the same weekend using the same settings) in several different iMovie "projects". All were shared from iMovie 11 as "File" using the quality setting "SD 480p".
    In Quicktime Player, all ".mp4" files will play and they show the following info in its inspector:
    Format: H.264, 854 x 480
                  AAC, 48000 Hz, Stereo (L R)
    FPS: 29.97
    One exported file will drag, drop, and burn in iDVD just fine. The other two files show the error "Unsupported File Type : Unknown format" as soon as I try and drag them into iDVD.
    The only difference I can find is that the one file that works is about 803MB, while the files that don't work are 1.87GB and 3.98GB.
    All files and the iDVD project are in the same folder on my startup volume. I've tried deleting com.apple.idvd but that didn't help. I've tried rebooting and starting the iDVD project from scratch but I get the same results.
    Mac OS 10.9.1
    iMovie 10.0.1
    iDVD 7.1.2
    Any ideas?

    Hello Bengt and thank you again for the replies.
    As I mentioned in my previous posts, I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 which has very limited quality adjustments. In every case I chose the smallest size, which iMovie 10.0.1 calls "SD 480p (854 x 480)". I used this same setting on all exports.
    I still have iMovie HD (6.0.4) and iMovie '11 (9.0.9) on my iMac so I tried both of them. In both cases, they could import only the file that works in iDVD. Both older versions of iMovie choked on the longer movies shared from iMovie 10.0.1.
    I have many many hours into the editing of these clips and I do not want to have to go back and redo everything in an older version of iMovie. Might I be better off going with a different DVD creation software? Or am I out of luck? Because I can't really change iMovie 10.0.1's export settings, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to get it to export it as something that iDVD can use (really, I can't even tell why it's different and why iDVD doesn't like it).
    The software "WonderShare DVD Creator" has no issue with any of the files I've exported from iMovie 10.0.1.    

  • Unsupported File Type: Broken Reference

    I am trying to add a movie to iDVD and it tells me "Unsupported File Type: Broken Reverence". I have recopied the movie to my files, but still receive this message. All the other clips that I made with iMovie HD have loaded fine. It is just this one. It is only 51 seconds long.

    You can create two kinds of Quicktime movies: self-contained movies and reference movies.
    Reference movies are very small files and are basically just a set of instructions with path references to the elements used in the movie. If you move, delete or rename ANY of the elements used in the reference movie, the file can not be opened and you will get a 'Broken Reference' error message.
    Self-contained movies are an actual, rendered final movie.
    It sounds like your problem movie is a reference movie and you have moved or deleted one or more of the elements used in making the movie.
