wmv files & FCP

[David Roth weiss]

[Mort Korn] “How do you import a wmv, Windows Media Player, file to FCP?”

You don’t!

It’s not an editing format. You need to install Flip4Mac on your computer and transcode the file to a quicktime file using Quicktime Pro.

I use M-peg Streamclip (www.squared5.com) for free, combined with
Apple M-peg 2 Component for $20.

Remember that WMV files are massively compressed.
They are great for transporting to clients for viewing
and approval only, but rotten for pure editing use or
final product.

Been happy with VisualHub for conversion as well… cheap, fast, good
