I found a solution, but it's an annoying solution:
VLC player has a conversion utility built in. I converted the MOV files to MP4 files in VLC. Now they work just fine.
Is there a way to get PD17 to handle MOV files natively?

Here is a screenshot. It's not that the audio is not playing back. It's just not there. Audio plays back when I preview a clip from the media room pane. When I drag the clip onto the timeline, though, the audio is not present.

I imported a bunch of files off of my Zoom camera which records in the MOV format. On the first try, there was no audio in PD17 whatsoever. Some searching suggested I install Quicktime. I did. Now, there is audio when I select the clip in the Media Room and play it. When I drag it to the timeline, however, there is no audio on the timeline. Can someone please tell me how to get these clips into the timeline with their audio?
Thanks,
Seth

I've been needing a new video editor for a long time. After doing a lot of research PD seemed like it was the way to go, so I pulled the trigger and am now in the process of figuring it out. This one is tying me in knots right now:
In every other audio or video editor I've ever used, there is one button that stops playback where you are. Another button stops playback and takes you back to the position you started playback from. Yet another button takes you back to the beginning of the project. PD does not seem to have the option that stops playback and takes you back to the position you started from. I am baffled by this lack of function, and I'm finding that it's cramping my workflow in a major way. Please tell me if I'm somehow missing how to accomplish this function, or if it really isn't there, how do you deal with this scenario:
I need to decide where to start a clip. I click in the general area I want to start and press play. Oops, I need a little more time before the dialogue starts. Go back to where I started from and back up a bit. Still not quite enough time before dialogue, go back to where I started and back up a bit. That was good. Go back to where I started from and split there.
This trial and error to zero in on a cut point is quick and easy when I can press a button and go back to my playback start point. If you can't do this in PD, what do you do so that your workflow isn't cumbersome?
Thank you for any suggestions,
Seth
