FLV files & MPEG Streamclip – Error on Timeline Render
The title says it all.
I’m helping someone with a sizzle reel, and some of the footage I was given was in flv format(sorry can’t get it any other way). I exported the files from trusty MPEG Streamclip as Quicktime/ProRes422 and then played back fine in the FCP Viewer. However, on the timeline, they would not render giving me the following error:
“Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.”
Perhaps I’m missing a setting in MPEG Streamclip?
Any help would be appreciated…

So, as a workaround, I just tried converting to DV and it is rendering. Since it’s web-quality to begin with, no need for ProRes.
While my curiousity conitnues as to why the Apple’s own codec wouldn’t render in Apple’s own editing software, a solution has been found.
Thanks

What version of FCP are you using. I think ProRes was included starting with V6.

Did you ever find out what the problem is? I’m running into the exact same thing except I’m starting with MOD files. I’m using MPEG streamclip to convert to 422’s and then if I need to render them on the timeline I get the same “Codec not found” error.

I managed to solve this by creating the 422 at a standard size (1280×720) and then FCP would render it just fine. I know you’ve moved on, but try this the next time your having issues with FCP recognizing 422’s.

Somehow I missed John’s reply. So, for the record I was/am using FCP V6.
Interesting solution Miker, I’ll have to try that again. Although hopefully I won’t have to do that again. 🙂
