    I gave a friend DV .MOV files I captured in FCP Studio. Her AvidXpress version 3.5.4 will not even see them let alone import them. Hr manuel says it can import .MOV. Would highly appreciate and suggestions.
    Thanks

    If you export them as mov files using the animation codec or a Avid codec, she’ll be able to import them.

    Just download (for free) and install: https://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=372311

    My best guess is that you are using some codec on the FCP side that the receiving partner does not have on their system.

    When you install the Avid codec on your end, it will save them import time on their end, as .mov files in the Avid codec will fast import into Avid (as no transcoding would be required anymore).

    Hi Wendell:

    I recently wrote up how to perform a Fast Import correctly. Hope this may help!
