I have an interesting problem with some AE renders that is bugging me like crazy.

We have 10 machines running AE CC 12.2.1 all on OSX 10.8.5

Most of them render fine to ProResHQ but on a few of them, when I render ProResHQ files out and put them into Final Cut I get warning that the files are not optimized.

Each machine has the same set of QT components and codecs, the same version of QTx and QT7.

If I load the "un-optimized" render into QT player then re-export it as ProResHQ I don't get the error (even if this done on the machine that has issues).

Also, there are files size inconstancies, the renders are slightly larger on the machines with issues.

It is almost as if AE is not using the QT codec to save the file on some machines and is on others.

If I bring the 2 different QT files into AE they are identical (compared using difference mode).

The output modules are also identical.

It's driving me nuts and I feel like I have exhausted all my ideas...

Thanks.

Phil
