Importing M2V files
I’ve seen 5 year old posts related to this question – but was wondering if there’s anything current…..
We used the Liquid Silver for many years before making the switch to FCP.
During that time, we’d export various clips out of the program and stored them away as our video library.
The time has that I need some of those files for editing a current project and am unable to import them in to FCP.For those who don’t know, the M2V file format isn’t because we kept them on dvd – the Pinnacle Liquid series of editors actually edited in the m2v format. Thus, anything that got exported was done so as an m2v file.

you know, I found Streamclip mentioned in some old posts and gave it a try.
Granted – I didn’t read too far through the directions, but all I got was a white screen after the process was done.I’ll have to give it another try on Monday and check my output. I think I went to .MOV instead of ProRes 422.
I had a fear when we were archiving files that the m2v files might come back to haunt us. But it was the easiest thing to do at the time. And the thought process was that – if Pinnacle could build an editor in 2002 that uses m2v, surely every machine a decade from now would have no problem reading those files!
