Can't import video "Avid engine not installed"???
I just got an OMF. Opened the OMF (worked as normal), and tried to import the video file they gave me. Pro-Tools gives error "Can't import because Avid engine not installed". I have never seen this, why is this when I am importing a QT file. If I make a blank PT session and import the tracks from the OMF I can then import the video as normal (just one more PITA step to deal with). So this related to something in the OMF they gave me.
thanks |

Avid Video Engine relates to the driver fore using a Mojo with Pro Tools, or that's what it use to do
version of Pro Tools? I'd be suspect of the OMF

TDM HD 10.2 Mac. I have never seen this before. This is 100% related to the OMF, somehow the OMF got stamped thinking that it was a mojo but I was told it was cut in FCP, I made a blank session, imported the tracks from the OMF session, imported video, it worked as it should have. This is the first of 6 OMF (I am doing a tv series), so I'll see how the other OMF behave, may be it was a one in a million bad fluke.

Are you sure you selected the video file in the "Import Video"-dialogue?
The reason I ask is because I've had that popup come up when I mistakenly selected an OMF in "Import video" (or mistakenly tried to import the OMF through "Import video" rather than "Import session data" - sometimes my fingers are just too thick and hit both cmd+opt...). |

I think so, I tried it twice but it is always possible that I made a mistake. One more thing about this, that same OMF (same session) also had another problem with was :logical end of file reached: and would not correctly import all the OMF (files missing and not finding links), I now think it was just a corrupt OMF and video. I am doing a 6 part tv series all other omfs worked perfectly so this must have been corrupt. |

Don't install the video engine if you don't have a mojo. It will make PT launch much slower looking for the mojo hardware and not finding it.
