[SOLVED] When importing Image Sequences or Movies everything is black

[JoelMayer]

Hi I have the following problem with 13.5

When i import a .mov or .mp4 file or even a JPEG sequence, all it shows me on render and in the viewport is a black frame. It reckognizes the length and everything which i can see in the Sequencer but just doesn't show me the pictures... Any ideas? Also tried every setting for the Display quality to no avail.

I'm on a 2019 Macbook Pro with the latest Big Sur Update.

Thanks.

Check for non-English characters in the file name or path.

All the files are just called rough.mov or rough.mp4 or rough-1.jpg. I tried to re-encode them with Media Encoder as well but doesn't help either. Very strange.

If you can upload a small sample file - others can test.

Oh wow, nevermind, i'm a complete idiot...

Forgot that Harmony doesn't render a Background automatically and that you have to add a Colour Card first

Was some rough animation i did in Toon Boom as a guide for Moho. Really sorry everybody, thanks for the help though! Ignore this thread haha
