QT import and export in Catalina

[mrdrummerj]

When will QT import/export work in Catalina? We already know about the QT workarounds, but when will this core function work again without jumping through hoops? It's also surprising that AAC import is still not supported.

I was told it can't be supported. Hopefully, that was wrong. But for now, I'm stuck on Mojave at work. Thankful to be using PT on Windows at home.

Hi !

QT (video .mov) works with 2020.3 with Constant Frame Rate but not Variable Frame Rate.
Do you only work with VFR videos ?
QT import works pretty ok where I am, DNxHD36 or 115 or ProRes422 CFR .mov


You can find all file supports here : https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...e-Type-Support

Export doesn't work for sure, hope it will soon!

To clarify: although picture can be imported, the AUDIO from picture cannot be imported while working in Catalina.

That's a serious setback. We do this all the time (none of us has yet upgraded to Catalina, however).

What's the process for getting the audio from a QT video into ProTools? Do you have to export it in the QT app?

The free Shutter Encoder app makes it pretty easy. Drop the movies in, select WAV from the Functions menu and hit start. You can make a Watch folder to drop movies into to automatically output WAV files.
