Convert Mov file to something FCP can recognise?

[Ravi Kanda]

Thanks Jeremy!

So is ProRes a codec I can buy for FCP?

Does it work within FCP?

All I’m asking I guess is the exact procedure to render the animation. Sorry, I’m just getting this information for somebody else.

ProRes in native to FCP 6 and 7. Are you using FCP?

Stop the “asking for someone else” and have THEM read this topic and respond. You need to put someone on who understands FCP and codecs, and what FCP can do. Preferrably the EDITOR.

ProRes comes with FCP…it is a codec that it uses. FCP 6 has ProRes 422, and then FCP 7 has ProRes Proxy, ProRes 422 LT, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, and ProRes 4444. Which one to use? ProRes 422.

But again, either just relay the information posted, or get the person you are asking for on the internet and looking at this post. It’s tough having a middleman when the middleman doesn’t have a basic grasp of the editing system.

You’re absolutely right Shane.

Before the editor says its ‘impossible’, I’d like to be briefed on what is needed, and how the edit is possible.

Thank you to all who responded to my thread. All the info was much appreciated.
