    hi,

    i upload my avi files from my nikon d90. I trimmed all videos and made the whole project in FCP. Now i want to start with COLOR. But as i export i see in COLOR only red boxes. Seems COLOR cant read my avi files.
    What can I do. Can i convert the whole project in FCP to continue in COLOR.

    Thanks for your help

    Color…or as you call it, COLOR…can’t work with AVI. Use Compressor to batch convert all your source media to ProRes. Use the Reconnect Media command in FCP to reconnect to your new media files.

    A look to the manual wouldn’t harm you.

    AVI is compressed video formats which contains both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. While, AVI is known to be the most unfriendly video format across Apple Mac system. You may always fail to import AVI to Final Cut Pro or other popular editing programs on Mac OS X.

    So if you want to enhance the shot digital cameras AVI videos or AVI videos downloaded from Internet with Final Cut Pro, you can convert AVI to ProRes in order to edit AVI with Final Cut Pro X with the natively supported codec. Search a fast video app from market.
