hello
we are rendering content as Quicktime, from our application
PulpMotion, and are consistently having the following problem when we
try to import those files in FCP: we get an import error with
'Unknown file' dialog (not very explicit by the way). If we drop the
file on the FCP icon in the doc, the error is somewhat more explicit:
'Unsupported Frame Rate'. Typically, we work with Quicktime content
encoded as PhotoJPEG or Animation or Uncompressed, with a framerate
of 25, for PAL.
The really bizarre thing here, is that if we render a small file
(less than 10 secs say, not sure about the threshold)...it works: FCP
happily accepts the file. If we render a bigger file, using the exact
same settings, it produces an invalid file.
If we take those files to Compressor, and re-encode them in any
format, it works fine: the files become good citizens and are
accepted by FCP.
So the question is : what makes those files good...they look the
same, have the same tracks, the same settings when viewed in QT
Pro...but something makes them different. How can we make our
Quicktime files good citizens from the start when we encode them ?
Thank you for any help on that.
