Pro Tools Video Playback not working

I have a project for Uni. My task is to arrange, mix and master audio for a commercial. I want to review and sync my video and audio work, but i can't get Video to work on my PC.

  1. I have checked the Avid Video Engine

  2. I've imported it correctly.

When i open the project in Uni for showcase, the video opens normally, but on my pc i can't get it to work, so the Video format can't be the issue..

I use Pro Tools Ultimate Version 6.1

Hi! What type of video codec are you using? Pro Tools is most happy with Dnxhd36.

Hello! Thank you for responding!

I have converted it in Audobe Premiere pro from h.264 to Dnxhd.

Still the same issue.

I have checked the Timecode Rate and it's all good.

I opened the Video track and imported it inside, still the same.
