    Hello All,
    Would like to get feedback on using the Sony codec m2T files with FCP. How do you convert them to QTs, use compressor , render out in FCP ?

    Look forward to hearing from everyone.

    I’ve never done it, but try ClipWrap

    If you have Toast 9, you can use it to convert the files into any codec you have installed on your system.

    All my love for Toast but is not an application to do any professional transcoding.
    if you want transcode use MPEGStreamclip, but the “ClipWrap” pointed by Jeremy looks like a beter solution to me.
    You only re-wrap your MPEG-2 as a .mov. so they can be easily edited in FC.
    No transcoding, no generation lost and I guess can be a really fast process.

    I got a plug in for fcp from the below link and it works great.
    I have a sony Z7 and just connect the m2t files to my mac. Open fcp and go to “Transfer and capture”

    Hi Keith,
    I have the Z7 and I installed the plugin for the .m2t files. When I got into “log and transfer” in FCP it does not recognize the files. Where did I go wrong. I am using an 800 fire wire port card reader to read from the compact flash. Thanks in advance.
