Import video
Hi !, when I import a video file I get an error, the file is not seen and a "?" appears, if I import the video as a sequence of images : Animation / track layer may not be activated, mey be the Track tool only run with video files? Thanks,

Yeah, video tracking only works with video.

Re: Import video
It could be a codec problem or you might not have enough RAM to cache the video.

Re: Import video
Check the video file name: better no blanks and no non-7bit-Ascii-characters (also in the path).
AS 9.5 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
AS 11 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3

Re: Import video
The original file is IMG_3472.MOV and I made several conversions in case it was a format problem , and with these names : Rayo_vimeo.mp4 or 720.mov, ... the file names have no special characters, is it a curious mystery?

Re: Import video
Try checking if the containing folders have special characters.
Also, try importing the file in the x86 version of Moho.

I have performed the operation with Anime 9.5 and with the same result ... I have even copied two files with a simple name to the desktop to avoid other routes.Víctor Paredes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:17 amTry checking if the containing folders have special characters.

Could it be that some software configuration file has disappeared or any explanation like that?

Re: Import video
Can you share the video? Maybe in a PM if it can't be public?

the video was to do a test with track tracking, taking advantage of the quarantine period to learn more, I had already done some before but to remember and improve, and I have encountered this problem.

Re: Import video
Thanks. I just downloaded the video. It's working here. I'm using Moho 12.5, 64-bit.
Please check if the file works for you:

Re: Import video
Ok (I'm answering here instead on the PM, so the info may be useful for other people), do you have Quicktime and VLC installed? I recommend you to do it if not, I'm not sure about it, but maybe that can help with some codecs.

Re: Import video
I don't know what the problem could be. It's working fine here.
A workaround could be to transform the video to image sequence and import that instead. You can try this web:
