Re: Video playback Windows 10
You should avoid H.264 wherever possible. 2020.3 doesn't use the QuickTime engine at all, at least on Mac so I assume it's the same on Windows.
DNxHD in an MXF wrapper is your friend. Export ref audio as a separate WAV file is the best workaround for now. DaVinci Resolve is free and can export to DNxHD. Quote:

H264 is a supported codec now in pro tools. Works better but other GOF codecs are preferable.

I’d read: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...r-Pro-Tools-11 Qualified QuickTime codecs • DNxHD (Preferred) • Apple ProRes 422 (including HQ, LT and Proxy) • DV25 • DV50 • H.264 (Performance may vary) Note: QuickTime Support and Security on Windows Additional Considerations: • DNxHD is preferred due to better performance. • Video file format should not affect performance. For instance, an .mp4 file will perform as well as an .mov file, all other things being equal (same video, codec, resolution, etc). Only the codec matters, the "container" does not. • h.264 is not ideal for editing workflows. Performance may vary when using this codec. I was sent a video made on a phone and wanted to experiment with iZotope’s Music Rebalance to see if I could improve the Audio and the backing track and vocals Mix. Both your replies are much appreciated!

Re: Video playback Windows 10
Seems to be working here OK on Win 10/PT 2020.3 (vanilla). I imported a .mp4 video (H264 MPEG-4) using the import command (not drag and drop) and it works/plays/resizes as expected.

Re: Video playback Windows 10
Yes it will work, but there are better options out there. H.264 is CPU intensive compared to DNxHD/HR.

Re: Video playback Windows 10
Good to learn that DaVinci Resolve can import still images or export a frame from a video to use as a still. Saves a full version of the image, as well as the color information, so the “look” or color grade can be applied to other footage:

Re: Video playback Windows 10
Hello! I also have a similar problem...I can import the video file, fps is showing up in color white as normal and I can see the frames thumbnail along the track, however the video window is completely black. I can open the same video file in other applications like Movies & TV, the QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player...I tried a couple things including reinstalling PT and so far nothing works I saw your screenshot and as far as I can see, I have the same items on that folder. Any thoughts? I appreciate the help, thanks!

Re: Video playback Windows 10
If a video does not play nicely with Pro Tools straight-away (sometimes it does), I do one extra step. Import vid into Vegas Pro (or DaVinci or Premier etc) & render a "slimmed-down" temp-vid for ProTools. I use MP4/23.97/720P/lower bit rate (I forgot my exact bit rate settings).
If I need to re-track the vid, I pull the Pro Tools audio bounce into Vegas, and render at original vid specs. Works for me!!!

Re: Video playback Windows 10
I use Resolve for editing and always render out a DNxHD 36 video in a .mov wrapper for use in PT. Runs like a charm. h264 can be a real pain to work with. The mix then gets laid back into the edit in Resolve and finally rendered as h264.
