I have a problem with Movie Studio 11 Plat HD.
I can't drag .mov files into the timeline unless they are H.264 encoded. This means I can't get most mov files without some sort of pre-processing, and I can't get ones with alpha channel.
The error I get reads: the Sony QuickTime plug-in was not able to initialise the QuickTime components on your system. It appears that QuickTime for Windows is not properly installed. QuickTime files cannot be read or written without a full installation of the QuickTime version 7.1.6 or greater components, including the authoring components.
It then directs me to the Apple QuickTime download site. However, QuickTime player has been installed and uninstalled repeatedly with no fix. I purchased the QuickTime pro version hoping its encoding capabilities would add the necessary authoring components to which the error message refers – but no joy.
This may be associated with an error message 1856 that occurred when I double clicked on a mov file in Windows folder. this can only be overcome by setting QuickTime player.exe to run as administrator. (Implying there is a compatibility issue between QuickTime 7.1.6 and Windows 7 64-bit.) However, this does not solve the error that occurred within Sony Vegas movie studio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
