Dealing with MPeg4 in FCP?
Hi there, do you have any tips on using MPeg4 files for edit in FCP? (Given that it is not an editing format)
As it is, I have to render everytime I put MPeg4 files into an MPeg4 timeline and whenever I lay one track of footage over another and again when I move clips about – it’s an absolute pain!
It might help to explain that these files were created by ripping a DVD with Handbrake – my only option to source some documentary footage I’m editing.
Any help/ideas would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Chris -

Hi David,
I’m new to this forum and have not been able to find your reply to this post. I am teaching a unit on film genres and I too am using handbrake to rip short clips into avi files to be edited in FCP. Is there a way to get around the long rendering times?Thanks.
