MPEG2 into FCP
Hi All –
I have some MPEG2 files that have been exported out of Premiere Pro 2 using Adobe’s compressor app. They have the file extension .mpg and have video/audio (multiplexed?) into the one file.
I import them into FCP but only get video. Now I know FCP is used to seeing separate Video/Audio files but is there any way I can get it to play ball with these files short of getting them re-outputted for me?
Many thanks.

If you had them send you a tape, you’d have better video, but you can demux the MPEG file you have now and work with it with “MPEG Streamclip”… https://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
Still would look better if it hadn’t been cremated by MPEG 2…

Hi Jerry –
What a great app. Thanks for that.
Yeah – I’d rather have the tape also but it is our old showreel logo that only exists as MPEG2 plus a bunch of historical files that are on Beta SP tapes that are frame-drop central.
Cheers again for your help.
