  • Final Cut Pro AVI – Sony Vegas?

    Posted by Chelsea Volz on April 18, 2009 at 11:00 pm

    Hello.

    I have been using Sony Vegas 7 to do my editing on a hobby basis. However, given that I want to start college soon and all the colleges I’ve researched used Final Cut Pro, as do most production companies, I want to start working/editing with it.

    I have just ripped over 300 hours of TV Show Episodes in AVI format, however, – unbeknownst to me – Final Cut apparently cannot read these clips (given as they are imported with a red screen where the video should be. I dread having to go in and covert all of this media to mov or some other format and also storing it on my harddrive because I still have to rip 100 more hours of media and I also still want to work with Sony Vegas. Is there something I can install into Final Cut so that it can import and read AVI files successfully so that I can edit it?

    If not, I can convert them, but I would like the best file type. And if possible, if I have to convert them, I’d like to convert them so that they can also work in Sony Vegas.

    Thanks alot!

    I have Final Cut Pro 6.0.5
    And my Mac OS X is version 10.5.6
    Processor: is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    You can convert them to CineForm files. They work for both Vagas and FCP. NeoScene is the least expensive.
    go to https://cineform.com/

    Thanks, alot!
    I will get started on that right away!
    But, which format should I rip my clips in then in order for them to work in both? I still have about 100 hours worth of media to rip.

    Will MP4, MV4, MKV or OGM work in both?
