Thats usually an indication of improper media.
What file format and compression are you rendering from Juicer?

Interesting. I've not used 6.1 for about 3 years now.

Anyway, forget QT files. You are at the mercy of the Quicktime people. They change and Liquid may or may not work with the new version.

Your options are uncompressed avi files or you can create a TGA sequence. Anytime I have trouble, I revert back to the TGA sequence. Its never failed me and the quality is great.

Try again and post back. I am sure we can get you going.

Regards,

okay -- problem solved
here is how i did it:
to be able to import i had to raise the quality config for the timeline and uncheck the "trust metadata"
to rid of the dark red slice once imported and placd on the timeline i had to lower the quality again
because if timeline is kept at a high quality it will NOT render red slices

this is what worked for me -- and i wanted to share how i solved this situation

thanks guys
