  Video clip download format to FCP 5

  Posted by Bernie Jwaszewski on December 14, 2010 at 2:56 am

  Please help, I’m in information overload! The following web address contains a public domain film clip I want to bring it into FCP 5.1.4 for use as an intro to a travel documentary. With seven choices, is any one better to use than another?

  Ogg Video
  512Kb MPEG4
  64Kb Real Media
  256Kb Real Media
  HiRes MPEG4
  MPEG2

  Thanks

  Hi Rez mpeg4 sounds like the best choice, but that will have to be transcoded to another codec for editing, preferably the sama as your project.

  Hi Dave,

  Thanks for your response.
  For your comment about “…transcoded to another codec for editing, preferably the same as your project….”. I have not nailed that down yet, my general feeling is to be in a format consistent for creating STD DVD’s but making the documentary, at least a trailer, accessible online is an idea.
