Perhaps you're thinking of the ''Dolly Zoom'' effect? Dolly Zoom  Joe

What version of Quicktime do you have? I'm still on W7 but I have version 7.7.6 that I installed 5 years ago and don't have issues with mov files I use in other apps. I haven't used it recently in Studio, (I have 21), but don't recall any issues. Joe

I think Imgburn has the ability to erase a BD-RE disc. Might be worth a shot. What little reading I've done on the topic leads me to believe it does a complete format of the disc rather than just erasing the file table or whatever that index file is called.  Joe

I think this is the effect he's looking for. It's from the Superman 2 movie. It looks kind of 3D-ish. Maybe it's something from Hollywood FX? FLIP EFFECT

If you have VLC player, you could try to convert it to MP4 that way. Make a note of the video and audio stream specs. Open the video in VLC. Then Media> Convert/Save and follow the prompts.  Joe

It works for me, might work for you:  This is most probably a problem with the eject motor and/or it's sensing electronics.I HAVE the exact same problem with an LG GGW-H20L ...

Try exporting from AE as an mov file with transparency, (RGB+A). Studio should be able to recognize the alpha channel.  Joe  P.S. If that doesn't work, google for a free AE plugin called Unmult. Apply that to your effect and it will make the black background transparent.

Have you tried fast forwarding and then rewinding a tape before trying a transfer? It can't hurt to loosen them up a bit if they have sat for many years without being touched.  And they are subject to deterioration just from being in an uncontrolled environment such as humid areas or wide temperature changes. I think the estimated life span ...

I was curious about the OBS software so I took a quick look at a youtube tutorial for beginners. The instructor seemed to indicate you could record in mp4 format. Perhaps you can double check your settings. One other thought is to see if there's a utility for splitting your file into 2 or 3 shorter lengths before importing. It doesn't matter ...
