editing web clips
Hi- Im in the process of gathering video from various sources on the web to be compiled in a podcast, most likely h264. My plan was to open the downloaded clips in QT and export as h264 then import into FCP. when I try to import, those newly created h264 clips are grayed out. I have my settings for capture and squence dialed into h264 although some of the clips I have imported have different frame rates (14.94) and FCP doesnt allow this setting in the sequence. First, does this seem like a viable workflow? Second, can FCP handle editing frame rates other than 29.97? Third, is h264 the best format to output the podcast for mass consumption? Thanks for your response.

H.264 is not a production format; it’s a distribution format. Export to Photo-JPEG.
The lowest frame rate FCP will specify is 23.98. No 15fps any more.
Podcast specifies the file format which uses H.264 as the codec.
All the best,
Tom
