Quicktime Error (-2000) after sending AppleProRes 422 clips to Shake

Hi there, I have been using FCP (7.02) and Shake (4.11) infrequently, mainly the smooth cam node with clips from my DV Camcorder. My new Full HD camcorder is recording AVCHD video which is transformed into Apple ProRes 422 when logged and transferred to FCP. After sending these sequences or clips to Shake, the node turns red and the clips don't show. In Shake's console appears an message related to the imported file which says <quicktime error (-2000)>.

Is there any way to solve this problem and does anyone know what causes it?

Mac Pro 8-core 2.66 GHz (early 2009), MBP 13"(2.53) +17"(3.06) ; iMac i7, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Rather than using the Send to Shake command,
try exporting the clip and then importing to Shake.

For what it's worth, QuickTime error -2000 means "Could not resolve data ref." Ordinarily I would assume that you were using reference movies but this clearly isn't the case.

It would seem that Final Cut Pro is formatting the movie clips in a way that Shake doesn't recognize so it might be worth recompressing in QuickTime or Compressor to see if that solves the issue.
