  Hi, I have this absolutely crappy quality videos that I make with my foto camera, they are 320×240, they are .mov and I could import them in FCP 7 but now in X I cannot.
  to which format should I convert them? I have Compressor…
  I know some would say it’s not worth it, but I like to play with this crappy videos……
  please help!
  if the data that I give is not enough ask me and I find out more…
  Thank you!!!

  Try transcoding them to ProRes 4:2:2 and change the frame size to 640X480. Maintain the same frame rate you shot.
