  Editing Google Hangouts

  Posted by Arthur Kohn on December 4, 2013 at 1:38 am

  I want to download a google hangout, import it into FCP, edit it, and then reexport it as an MP4. Problem is that the quality of the final version is much lower than the version I download from Hangouts. Any suggestions on either the import or export parameters so that I get better quality??

  Thanks,

  Art

  Don’t use FCP. It doesn’t work with native MP4 well, and if you convert it to a format it likes, then convert it again…you are compressing a few times. FCX or Adobe Premiere is better suited.

  Google Hangouts are videos? I thought they were “rooms.”

  Thanks for the comment. Google hangouts are live video chats. You can save these video chats to YouTube and then download them as MP4s.
