ID 429749 - Reading in QuickTime reference files will crash Nuke 12.1v1

Problem summary
When reading in a QuickTime reference file (not self-contained), Nuke will crash.

This issue appears to be caused by the default interpretation of QuickTime files as mov64 (Nuke's encoder) in the Nuke 12.1 releases.

Note: This issue does not occur in Nuke 12.0 releases and earlier.

Customer reported version
nuke.12.1v1

Customer reported platform
10.14

Steps to reproduce

1) Create a reference file in QuickTime Pro (by opening any QuickTime file and clicking 'Save As' and selecting 'reference file'.)
2) Open a new Nuke 12.1 session

3) Read in the reference QuickTime file
Result: Nuke crashes

Expected behaviour
Nuke should not crash when reading in a QuickTime reference file

Actual behaviour
Nuke crashes when reading in a QuickTime reference file

Workaround
To avoid the issue, you can force the Read node to interpret this file as mov32 (QuickTime native)

To do this:

1) Create a Read node

2) Select the location of the QuickTime reference file

3) Before clicking 'Open', add ':mov32' before the file path
​

​

4) Click 'Open'.
