Anyone know what this is? Got it when trying to "Copy movie audio to sequence".

DP 4.6.1, OS 10.4.4, G4 dual 1.25.

This is a Quicktime error described as "invalid track". DP uses Quicktime to extract the audio track from a movie, so if there is a problem with the audio track in the movie, it makes sense that you'd get that error when trying to extract audio from the movie from within DP.

Where did you get the movie? How was it created?

Can you play the movie in Quicktime player? Do you hear audio when you do?

Do you have the latest version of Quicktime installed? If you have Quicktime Pro, can you export the audio track that way?

Thanks, Dave.

The movie came from a client - it plays fine in Quicktime and also when opened in DP. I guess I can always record the sound into DP via SoundFlower.

I really should spring for Quicktime Pro - I've used Adobe Premiere but they've dropped their Mac support and it only works in OS9.

If you have QT Pro, you might "save as" a new self-contained movie under a new title or export the elements to seperate files. This would allow QT to rebuild the files correctly (at least hopefully).

It's only $30. I'd say it's a must-have if you're doing score-to-picture work. You can use it to edit, resize, recompress and split audio from video. I get QTs all the time that need tweking before use in DP. QT Pro handles that.
