Error opening alias when using Quicktime Reference File

[Alan]

Opening new ticket based on latest error information.

When attempting to render a quicktime reference file the encoding fails and reports a file linking error.

I have confirmed the original file that is being pointed to by the alias is in place and accessible.

Below is the console info:
