  WMV in FCP

  Posted by Kathleen Wielatz on July 8, 2009 at 8:13 pm

  I have .wmv files that I need to import into FCP5 so that I can edit them and output into a mpeg2 for a power point presentation. What is my best option for getting it into FCP? Thanks for your help!

  Flip4Mac Player Pro ($29)

  Allows you to use WMV directly (performs sluggish in FCP)
  Allows you to wrap WMV in MOV (preforms a bit better in FCP)
  Allows you to re-encode WMV to whatever codec you need/have installed in QuickTime Pro. Becomes whatever you make it but involved a re-encode.
