I created an animation in Photoshop Extender CS4. I rendered it to several different video files; QuickTime movie and MPEG-4. When I try to insert any of these, I get this message in the container. ' The file cannot be found; StarField/galaxy.mp4"(or .mov). I can insert other movies obtained else where and I have compared file information and I see no difference. What' up with 'cannot be found' These videos are on the same hard drive as the FMP software & file I am trying to import into.

You might check the format by opening the file from Photoshop in Quicktime and re-exporting from Quicktime Pro. I couldn't tell you why FileMaker isn't seeing it, but at least you could verify or eliminate funky Photoshop export errors as the base problem.

Exported as QuickTime movie and as .mp4. Still no dice.

Thanks for trying.

Guess what I finally learned.

It makes a difference what the name of the folder holding the videos is named. The name cannot end with two or more periods, as in ... . For some reason FMP cannot read or 'see' inside said folder for a video. FMP can see an image or picture, though. Weird
