SUPER NOOB- importing footage
I have searched the site and have found threads somewhat explaining what to do but i am still very much unsure.
I cannot import .mpg files. should I somehow convert them to .avi? or is their a more logical answer.

You shouldn’t use compressed formats like mpeg in AE because it can result in rendering problems, not to mention slow scrubbing. Convert your footage to a format with full frames, such as quicktime animation or lossless avi.

When i conveted my footage to .avi the quality was horrible. I unfortunately use a sony hdr-sr5. meaning I dont get to record my footage as so many others do with a mini dv because of the hard drive thing.

if you feel like buying something, then cineform software will capture your camera video, change inter to intraframe and you won’t have to spend time re-encoding anything just to use it.
