FCPX and WMV?
I am running finalcut x and compressor 4 and a customer wants an wmv to toss around there company. How can I get a WMV out of FCP or compressor. If I buy flip for mac studio is that going to give me wmv import and export as a codec?

FCP doesn’t edit WMV. Flip4Mac won’t give you WMV input. It will allow you to create WMV from Compressor, but from inside FCP.
All the best,

Luke. It won’t add that capability directly to FCP X because FCP X doesn’t directly access QuickTime Components (which Flip4Mac is).
I don’t know if you really need Flip4Mac if you just need it for a single project. There are a bunch of online services that will do it for free from a h264 file. LIke this one:

If you think you are going to be asked this often I would really recommend Telestream Episode (&Pro). Its not the cheapest bit of software but it produces really good files of all persuasions including WMV.
To be honest the main reason I bought it was to create WMV versions.
There are loads of different templates from 640×360, 720P up to 1080P.
It’s also now Lion compatible.
But for a one off there doesn’t seem anything to lose from using the service Timothy Payton recommended although it seems a bit too good to be true.
Is anything in life free?

Thanks Tom that is very helpful, I don’t care so much about import it is just export.

[Tom Wolsky] “FCP doesn’t edit WMV. Flip4Mac won’t give you WMV input.”
No really.
With Flip4Mac installed you can import “.WMV” to FCP.
FCPX, as Timothy points, can not.
