AME Not Recognizing Video in QT Ref

I am running Mac OSX 10.13.6 on an iMac, 32GB RAM.

I recently went to AME 2019.  I export a QT reference from Avid.

Bringing it into AME, it does not see the video, only shows the audio.

I have re-exported the ref file from Avid, checking all settings.

The file plays back fine.  The only thing different is the AME version.  All was fine previously,

on AME CC  2015.3.  I am also unable to open 2015.3 now,

after uninstalling 2019, which I thought perhaps was causing a conflict.

Thoughts?

    With effect from ver 2018, AME no longer supports QT ref files. Ver 2017 still offers support. See here:

    I think support for referencing movies was dropped entirely in the switch from QuickTime to AV Foundation Frameworks.  There are a lot of great features from the 32-bit version of QuickTime that are missed.
