HDV to ProRes capture...created files don't have extension?
by Jason Brown on Nov 2, 2009 at 3:16:58 pm

Hey Guys,

I'm using a capture from HDV to ProRes...and the machine I do it on...files are in the browser, playable...editable...no problems until I move to another machine. It can't reconnect because the files are "text files" that's what the OS recognizes them as. I simply add the .mov extension to the files and they are instantly recognized as quicktime movies and playable in the OS...and "re-connect-able" in FCP.

No real PROBLEM...I just don't understand why it does this?

-Jason

They're QuickTime files. Displaying the suffix is a function of the OS. You can switch it on at the Finder level. Normally suffixes are hidden.


All the best,

Tom

I have it turned on...every other QT file displays the extension (I like that from my PC days)

These files DON'T have an extension until I assign one. When I do it, the OS even prompts me asking if I want to add an extension.
