MPEG – Cineform Problem- Unsolvable?
O.K so i’ve tried a few other forums in the past and I still haven’t been able to find a solution. I’m getting footage from a client. Who uses Adbove Prem and a PC. He has one other editor who has FCP and he apparently doesn’t have this problem.
The footage is .MPEG –
It comes up as MPEG2 video 1440 x 810
27.01 Mbits
23.98 FPSIt won’t play in FCP for me! I’ve tried installing a Cineform Codec which the director recommended but I still don’t have any luck?
Last time I had to convert all the footage which was just a pain. anyone got anyideas,
Please help,
Yours Sincerely
Ben

Mmm, I could only think of two things: Either ask the Adobe Director to re-export the Film in a different codec. Other option – try to convert the footage with Apps like MPEG Streamclip to a more workable format. MPEG 2 is not a good editing codec anyway.

Thanks so much for the reply Sascha! So even if I could get it working it still wouldn’t be great?
I just wanted to get out of having to convert it but I’m guessing there is no way huh…dang. -
It really is better. You do not want to edit in that file format. It’s highly compressed. If you are working in FCP, convert it to ProRes.
