Hello, I installed the pro tools 12.5 on a new Windows 10 reinstall, when I try to enable video engine it fills the bar but gets stuck. In the previous windows 10 install it didn't happen, I tried reinstalling vcredist and other Quicktime versions but it doesn't work.

 

Yup, join the club. And thanks for the message, because I wanted to reinstall PT myself, wondering if that would do the trick. Apparently no. You're right, it did work, so it must be a Windows update.

I guess your only option to play video in PT 12 (other than finding a Windows version that did work and stop it from updating)
is to use a third party software like Xjadeo (free) or LTC-Midi reader/converter ($70,-). They will sync to MTC and playback video.
Both have a cumbersome setup that I couldn't figure out very quick, there's not much support. See this thread: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/pos...ayer-sync-pro-tools-mtc-mmc.html#post14931215
Because of this I learned working with Steinberg Nuendo, which isn't too bad..
PT 12 on Windows is dead in the water when it comes to Audio for Video work. An update is very welcome (hint).

Update:

I finally got it working! I tried another uninstall/reinstall, this time I dragged the install folder in my desktop (I was running it from a secondary drive before), then absolutelly delete everything from Pro Tools (Avid folder, plugin folder, digidesign folder...). I tried it and it works now, maybe it's from something else or it's just luck at this point. Anyway, I hope this helps!

 

Great news, which version of Windows (and which update) do you use?
Do you mean you deleted those folders from your desktop or from somewhere else?

 

- Windows 10 Pro - version 2004 - OS build 19041.508
- First I uninstalled deleted everything from Pro Tools. Then I grabbed the Pro Tools installer and dragged it to the desktop to run it from there (In previous installations I executed the installer directly from the secondary drive, that may be a reason it failed to load video engine).

 

thanks, will give it a try..

 

video works perfect here with audioutopia
but i think only works from the last win10 updates.
I work with davinci resolve in video and ....maybe some dll was updated????
Protools instaled from another drive.

 

For me, FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded the latest FFMpeg build from here: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/packages/

 

My video engine also never launching FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded the latest FFMpeg build from here: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/packages/

 

Fixed.

This is what worked for me after hours of installing/uninstalling Windows 10, PT and different drivers. Sorry for my bad english in advance.

In C:\Program Files\Avid\Pro Tools\Video Engine run AvidVideoEngine.exe and see what missing .dll you have (i had msvcp100.dll, msvcp110.dll, msvcr100.dll and msvcr110.dll) download those from the links below and paste the files in the same folder with AVE. After that i had the error 0xc000007b and for that i've downloaded DirectX 12 and Aio Runtime. Restart computer and everything works just fine.

Thought to post this here because this is the first forum i've checked when i've got this problem and there isn't really any solution on internet how to solve infinite loading AVE, hope somebody who will encounter the same problem will see this and hope this helps.

Thanks, but Curly's trick installing FFMPEG already did the trick for me. Nothing wrong with your English..

 

Thanks man, nothing else worked for me and I was getting desperate because I reinstalled Windows and I had work to do.
Aio Runtime app seems shady but it worked.

 

I have now downloaded these files, but how to install them?
