Hey guys,
I saw that another user had posted a topic about this already, but the suggestions didn't work for me. I have a 2008 Macbook Pro with 4GB of RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor (not sure if that will affect the outcome)
I'm doing a project that uses a large amount of Apple ProRes 422 .mov files (all roughly 16GB each at 720 and located on a large external hardrive), with several subclips for each file. I made a new sequence (matching the codec) with 1 line of video and 1 line of audio. There are about 45 cuts and is only about 1min long.
I selected everything in the sequence, choose "Replace With After Effect Compostion," which launched AE. It got about....maybe 20% through the transfer (no bar, just guess based on what DID import), stopped, and gave me the "Importer reported a genreic error" message. I've tried several time since, with the same result. I dropped an exported .mov of the sequence into the project, and dragged-and-dropped the Pr sequence into AE and it worked/played, but I NEED layers to apply certain effects.
What are some solutions I can try to remedy this issue?
Thanks,
-Jon
