  • UYVY files…FCP edit question

    Posted by Tony Pascal on April 13, 2011 at 3:47 pm

    I just received some files that I need to edit. The files are uncompressed AVI files that QT reads as UYVY codec.
    Is there a way I can get these to the point where I can edit them in FCP?
    I’ve been able to playback in VLC Player, but cannot do anything beyond that

    Thanks

    Try with MPGStreamclip.
    Is better than FC/QT to deal with AVI files.

    I ran into this problem a couple of months ago, and found that all my usual tricks – MPEG Streamclip, VLC, Perian, etc. didn’t work… they would get one thing right (e.g. audio), but mess up the video frame rate.

    In the end, the only way I was able to solve the problem was by using Adobe Premiere Pro (Mac CS5 version). PPro could import and play the file correctly, so I then just re-exported as a DVCProHD MOV file for use on our FCP system.

    If my memory serves, that particular AVI (UYVY) file is a product of the Sony Vegas editor.

    Good luck!
