I’m hijacking here but please, I’ve never done it before and I’m desperate! Ok so if Final Cut is a quicktime based app, why the crap won’t it work with .h264 files? Final cut won’t recognize the clips in log and transfer and anything I do to get clips into final cut degrades quality. Is it really not possible to work with these clips in final cut? Is there another mac based app that will do it? iMovie seems to be fine with the clips. I’ve got the rebel t1i. Much fun till I get to the computer…which used to be the best part.
