File error
Ive been having problems importing .mov files that are in the 3 gig range. I started with something that I used handbrake on. It created an mpeg 4 file. I wasnt able to import that so I converted it into a .mov file. I wasn’t able to import that either. The error message I got with both is the following:
File error: 1 file (s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
Doed anyone know what that means?
Thanks, Bill

“.mov file…” That is meaningless, other than to note that it is a Quicktime movie. QT is a wrapper for many many codecs…including MPEG 4. So what we need to know is what codec is this file? Hit COMMAND-I and see what codec you have. FCP doesn’t work with every codec…it is finicky about which codecs it will work with. You need to convert it to a codec that you find in the Easy Setup menu in FCP.

I agree with Shane on this.
The movie file you’re trying to import is not supported by FCP. Your best option is to convert the file to a ProRes QT file and then import that. You should be able to do this with Compressor or the free program Mpeg StreamClip
