Thank you.

Hi, What specific version of Pro Tools?? Are you able to disable the Video Engine?

11.2.0, and the video engine is already disabled. I don't ever do video on this machine so I never enable it which is why this is weird to me.

I just started getting the same errors in Activity Monitor.

I didn't have the problem in the past. I've been running 11.2.1 for a week.

Okay, I got a temp fix. I just remembered I was loading an old project with a QT .mov picture. I converted it to DNxHD and the two "QuickTime_OPServer (not responding) errors went away. There is still the "Pro Tools QuickTime Server (not responding)" error when PT launches. but it dons't seem to be a problem.

The important thing is that PT is running again without constant Beach Balls.

EDIT:
I spoke too soon. All three QT errors come back after I work for a little while. The Beach Ball are back too, but they disappear faster.

Yeah same problems here:

Pro Tools Quicktime Server (Not Responding)
Video Engine seams to be loaded but only displays a black video in the sessions

iMac early-2009, 2.66GHz
8GB RAM
Mavericks 10.9.5

What's causing this? It looks like it's been an issue for months, surely somebody would have figure it out by now!

Same here.
PT 11HD on Yosemite

[lucienpalmer]

I'm currently on 11.2.1, and all of my QuickTime problems have gone away as long as I convert to DNxHD. Occasionally the studio I mix for gives me a ProRes pic, and it'll work, but problems are inevitable if I don't convert it.

Actually I'm on 11.3.1HD on Yosemite 10.10.2, I don't work with video but in my Activity Monitor I always have this "Pro Tools QuickTime Server (not responding)" which really I don't know what it is...

I've got the same happening here on my home rig running 11.3.1 and OS 10.9.5. I get errors about the video engine every so often, but I just ignore them, and the session plays again (for the most part). But I do get CPU spikes a lot that go from 2% to 100% for no apparent reason (except sometimes they coincide with a tempo change in my session).

Please help, AVID, it's pilot season!
