setup requires Quicktime for preset, how do I install?

[jaybird123]

I'm new to Premiere so bare with me! I installed Premiere in 98SE/NT4.0 dual boot machine ok. I can use Premiere to edit ok in both 98SE and NT4.0(I need NT because of dual cpu's and 2000 Pro or XP Pro are not an option at this time).

I have a MotoDV(Digital Origin) firewire card and software that will capture DV from my Canon ZR DV camcorder ok.

MotoDV has a plugin to Premiere so that when I goto setup a new project I can see my MotoDV firewire card. However, when I select any of the MotoDV presets during a new project setup("NTSC MotoDV 720 x 480, etc.,.&quot it says "preset requires Quicktime, Quicktime not installed" and if I continue it will close setup(Quicktime is installed but it seems Premiere cannot find it).

I could just capture with MotoDV, save to a file on my hard drive, open Premiere, goto the BIN file and proceed with my edit but I would like to do it all from within Premiere.

I also have setup TMPGEnc as a "video server" in Premiere so that I can go directly from edit to encoding to mpeg-2 for DVD authoring without leaving Premiere so as you can see I would really like to solve my MotoDV/Quicktime problem, any ideas anyone?

Regards,

Jay

This may sound a bit simplistic but I'd suggest uninstalling the version of Quicktime you have loaded then install the version that comes with premier using the cd's that comes with premier. You can then download the newest version of quicktime and install the upgrade.

I am also new to Premier and had a similar problem. After I did the uninstall/install process Premier worked fine (as far as I can tell).

Good luck. Mahalo,
