  • Error Message when trying to view/edit clips from Flip Cam

    Posted by Daniel Kernkraut on May 3, 2011 at 6:14 pm

    I am trying to edit some video from a flip cam on Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and it won’t play. I’ve imported it both from an external HD and also the laptop itself and both times I get 2 error messages. First “General Error” then “Error: Out Of Memory”

    I’ve already tried deleting my preferences but that didn’t work.

    Please help

    flip cams record in h.264 format, witch is NOT an editing codec.

    FCE can only work in DV or AIC codecs so you need to convert your video to one of those before you try and edit.
