    Hi there!

    I am working on a videoclip with found footage. i am downloading these clips and every one of them has a different format..

    i cant change my sequence settings to all the separated clip.

    very thanks to you

    greetings Dennie

    Depends what you’re trying to do and where you’re going. Most likely if the material was downloaded it’s in a format that’s not suitable for production but for delivery. It’s probably not in a format that can be made into an Final Cut preset so chance are you going to have to render anyway. Without giving any specifics it’s impossible to say.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Another free conversion software you could try is MPEG Streamclip.
