FCP & Mp4???
hi guys,
i have recently upgraded to FCP 7 and suddenly the clips i am trying to ingest via XDCam transfer (i run an ex1) are MP4 and won’t copy across… wtf?!?! it’s crazy because the week before i upgraded i ingested a project with absolutely no problems (the clips came in as MOV’s) but now when i tried to ingest the same clips, they’re MP4 and won’t go in? is there something i’m missing…???
also, i have recently bought one of these GoPro Hero cams and a similar problem is present – they shoot in MP4 and FCP won’t let them in… even compressor won’t read them. is there a codec or some conversion software i need to get my hands on? and if so, where?
cheers, col

Are you simply “importing” or using “log and transfer”?

MP4 files are not edit frendly files you need to convert them to a proper editing format.

I can’t speak to the MP4s from your EX-1 but I do know just a tiny bit about the GoPro. I just took some files from one of those a week ago and had no problem converting them to ProRes in Compressor. With a new install of FCP7 you should have everything you need. When you upgraded did you also re-install your OS?
