Fusion Connect Red Render (Newbie Question)

Hello all,

Fusion newbie here. I bought the software so I could start playing around with the Avid Connect Plug-in (and hopefully ditch our after effects round trip workflow!!) but every time I render with fusion while in an avid connect effect it just renders all red frames. I do not see this behavior when I open the program normally and load quicktimes.
Is anyone else using the connect plug-in? Any advice on what I might be doing wrong to get this red render? Or is it possibly a problem that other people are having too?

Tech specs:
Avid MC 8.3.1 on a z800 running win 7
Connect plug-in 7.7.1 w/Fusion 7.7.1
Media is DNxHD 175 @ 23.98

Are you also selecting export media in the plugin?

It can create a comp with media, and you'll end up getting a placeholder in there (i think, not in front of it now)
Also, can you verify once fusion is open, and the comp has been created and that the loader sees valid media?
It's should be a format called .Raw, and the output should be .Tif.
