Hi Guys and girls!
I am going on tour with a band tomorrow and just got the videos from the designer. Turns out none of them will play with Modul8. The files are mpeg 4 Files and size varies from 20-60 mb Pr video. There is no problem importing the files into Modul8 or put effects etc on them, but they will not start playing. In other words they are stuck in the first frame.

Hope someone can come with some pointers on how to solve it.

First things first - never use MP4/h.264 files. They use a lot of CPU to decode each frame.
Best learn how to setup a quick batch conversion to either PhotoJPEG or ProRes quicktime files. Its a good thing to know and will solve problems when it happens again. I'd recommend just buying Compressor from the App Store but there are free alternatives.

Best free option. Like it better than compressor by a long shot.

Are you sure your file is playable in another software ?
I see a amazing fps value in your screnshot.

Yeah mpeg stream clip is a must have for single files but bulk transcodes need something like Compressor/Adobe Encoder/Episode.

There is a batch option. Select from the main menu 'List > Batch List'

Use Modul8 HD beta (it's stable now, just requires a few finition things to be released.....) it will play any format
