Lack of decoding filters

On trying to produce a video and upload to YouTube, I have gotten the following error several times at some point in the middle of the production:

Media Source Error:
CyberLink PowerDirector could not construct the media source as a graph. This may be due to lack of decoding filters for the file you are trying to edit.

I haven't successfully produced the video yet. What does this error mean? I don't exactly know what decoding filters are, but I think the production freezes up when I use the Focus effect. It is the only effect that I use in my whole video.

Do you have QuickTime installed? If not, install it and try again. What format is the video that you are trying to work with? __________________________________

I do have QuickTime installed. The video is .MOV format. As I mentioned, the rendering gets partway through the video before I get the error. Is there a "decoding filter" that is used to process video effects like Focus?

Well, I came back to the file today and tried to produce it once again with the hopes of seeing exactly where it stopped. It worked this time! I hadn't changed anything between yesterday and today, so I have no idea what the deal is. It must have just been a bad day! Thanks for trying to help, Jaime.
