In Multi-trim only part of video plays...

I just installed VS9 (twice now actually). I have a 26 meg .MOV file that I am trying to multi-trim. For some reason, only the first 3 seconds of the video will play in the multi-trim window and I am unable to trim what I cannot view.

When I go back out to the Edit window and try to trim from there, my two minute video now only plays the first 3 seconds stretched out to 2 minutes (in super duper slow motion).

If I am in Project view, only 3 seconds plays (stretched out to 2 minutes). If I am in clip mode, the entire 2 minute video plays.

I uninstalled and reinstalled VS9 and also pulled the original video off the camera again (in case I inadvertently damaged it) and I am getting the same results.

Has anyone else experienced this? Why can't I edit (trim) this video?

If you need more info, please ask... this is driving me nuts!

Does the MOV file play correctly when you open it using the QuickTime player?

UVS is clearly having trouble decoding the movie, and since it doesn't do that by itself (it uses the codec associated with the file), I suspect that you have a damaged file, or need an updated codec.

Yes, the MOV file plays just fine in QuickTime. Using external converters I can convert the file to other formats which also play just fine in their respective players.

I would have to assume this is a problem with VS9.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of QuickTime and DIVX... any other ideas?

If an external converter works with the file, I would simply use that to create an AVI or MPEG file and edit it in UVS.

Can you post the MOV file properties? I'm wondering what is different about the file that it causes problems.

Does this seem right? When you play the movie, does it move slowly sort of like webcam video? Are these the properties reported by Videostudio or another application?

These were the properties given by VS9... When I play the video in QuickTime (or any other player depending on format), the video plays beautifully! Depending on what mode you are in with VS9 is whether the playback is horrid!
