Hello everyone,

I have a problem with shake 4.0 on macosx (tiger last update). whatever video file i want to work with, i have the same message in he console : "quicktime error code 43". i can only work with targa or tiff etc ...

i've tried many ways, for example, send it from fcp 5 or use "filein" with different codecs (dv, dvcpro hd) and it doesn't work ...
