H.264/MPEG-4 codec
Posted by Charlie Foster on June 15, 2011 at 10:15 pmI am trying to import a file from a Samsung SC-HMX10C HD Camcorder into Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. It has a H.264/MPEG-4 codec. How would I do this? It’s giving me an error message.

June 15, 2011 at 10:38 pmSearch the forum for “H.264.” We say daily that H.264 is not an editing codec. You must convert to ProRes. MPEG Streamclip does this, and it’s free.

June 15, 2011 at 11:17 pmThanks. Would that conversion affect in anyway syncing the video to an audio file captured from a zoom h4n?

June 15, 2011 at 11:22 pmMight actually help it. FCP doesn’t like H.264s for editing…
