File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown

Hi all,

I'm trying to bring a Quicktime movie into my final cut project and I'm getting the message "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". My FCP project is uncompressed 10 bit SD and the file is DV.

I can play the DV file in quicktime. It's possible that the file was exported from a different version of FCP / different OS. Any idea why I'm getting this error / how to get around it?

thanks

FCP 7.0

OSX 10.6.8

I'd find that highly unlikely. QuickTime files have stayed relatively constant throughout the years and even 10-year-old QuickTime files should import with no problems. (It'd be more likely to happen if the file was exported, say, from a PC) The codec should also be irrelevant, because usually a missing codec will result in the file importing successfully, but playing back as a blank screen. The error you're getting usually means a corruption of some kind, or an incomplete file (reference movie instead of self-contained, missing its source media). Try resaving or re-exporting the file through either Compressor or QuickTime Player.
