have problem with clip pixelizing as it plays
I have a .mov file (mpeg-4,AAC) that plays fine in QTPlayer. After importing into fcp it starts playing fine but in a few seconds begins to pixelate, degrading into complete blockiness. I’ve never seen this before??? Any ideas?

No, it’s just not an editing codec at all. It’s really a complete fluke that even limited editing seems to be possible.

Dave,
I’ve used two converters and neither produces files that will play on my fcp (6.0). The files import, play in the viewer but will not play on the timeline. Other sequences in the same project with other files play fine, so I don’t think it’s the software. I’ve tried H264 and ,avi???

I remember back when I was training on Lightwave or something like that there was a user preference to set you skill level with the software. The higher the level the less it helped you along and the lower the level the more dialogue boxes popped up doubting what you were doing.
Maybe FCP should do the same.

Errrr….
NEITHER of which are supported by FCP. Read in the manual on which formats FCP supports natively.Best,
Joey
