Import Problem: VHOLDR Contour HD Camera Clips into FCP?
I am importing Contour HD video clips into my PowerPC G4 Mac laptop for editing with my FCP 5.0.4 HD program. I’ve been able to drag & drop the clips into a timeline (I’ve tried 1080i60, and 720p in the setup window), but they come up needing to be rendered. It looks like it will take more than an hour to render each minute of video. The clips are listed as 1920 x 1080 29.97fps and in H.264 format. One is 40 Mb size and took nearly an hour to render—CRAZY!
What settings should I use for the project to import as quickly as possible and eliminate or reduce rendering time?

Take them to MPEG Streamclip and convert them to ProRes. Done.

OK but how can you Log & Capture or Log & Transfer these clips so you don’t have to ingest them in their entirety. Need to be able to set IN and OUT points for importing
