Hmm... I have a simple QC comp that reads a .mov file from disk, adds bloom to it, and outputs it. If the exported output .mov file is only 8k, that means its referencing not including the source movie file, so I would need to somehow make that source publicly accessible?
Is there no (even circuitous) way to capture the output into a real QT movie file?
