FCP Plug-in for PC?

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Clint,
Try with the AJA or BM codecs for Windows.
They should open the Apple Unc in PC.

That’s very strange. Uncompressed video should play the same on both Mac and PC using comparable versions of QuickTime. Do you need to edit this on the PC? If not, try using ProRes.

All the best,

Tom

Hi Tom & Rafael,

Thanks for the replies. After talking to the client, the video icon on the client’s side is a QuickTime logo with a FCP Clapper Board and on my Vista machine, it’s just a normal QT logo. It makes me think there some FCP codec or header info attached to this file that I can’t touch.

I’ve tried opening the file with everything Adobe, Canopus ProCoder 3, QuickTime Pro and GSpot… and each are throwing an error. Most of the errors are generic and/or unspecific.

I haven’t gotten anything to work, so I’ve asked the client to export an h.264 which I can open with QT 7.

I’m going to be encoding this to mpeg-2 and our encoders are better than what the client has so I was just hoping there was a good plug-in or hotfix that I could try.

If you know of anything else I can try I’d like to hear it!

Cheers,
Clint

On the Mac make sure the .mov suffix is added to the file name. You can also open it in the QT player and do a Save As to change it to a standard QT icon.

All the best,

What’s wierd is the file does have a .mov file extension!

I think I’ve done about as much as I can for the client, I’ll just have to wait for the h.264 file from them in the morning.

Thanks again,
Clint

Quick Time for Window have never supported the Apple 8/10b Unc.
Install the JA drivers for windows:
