Final Cut Pro/Vegas question
I have a customer that has all the files for a video project on a hard drive. They were captured on a mac using final cut pro. Can I use/edit these files in Vegas 7, or do they have to be converted? Are they normal AVI’s? Is it possible? HELP! I am Mac illiterate. The files are SD. Not HD or HDV

After installing the full Quicktime package (from the Apple site), you should be good to go.

I don’t think it will work. I’ve taken the captured quicktime files (captured with FCP) from my associates mac before into vegas and while you see the files, they look like crap. Worse than video on Youtube. I’m running the full professional version of quicktime as well. I don’t know the inner working of FCP, but I believe it does something different to the quicktime files that is specific to FCP. It’s own codec perhaps. Whenever we share projects, I always have to have him render out to a new quicktime that I can read correctly, or he just prints to tape.

You are right it looked worse than youtube and only 1 out of 24 would play. the files were broken in 2 gig sections(fat32) I’m giving up and don’t like mac. Sorry.. Will get a them to burn to tape and recapture..
Thanks to All
