I’m new at HD editing (lots of miniDV experience) and I’m having problems. Shooting on a Sanyo Xacti HD2000 onto its SD chip. Camera setting: FullHR: 1920×1080 60 FPS HR
I’m importing the video into FCP 6.0.6 directly from the chip. It shows up as an MP4 file. When I run it in FCP, it stutters and sometimes freezes. The guy at the Apple store told me to load Perian. I did, but that doesn’t appear to have helped. It has been suggested that I transcode my files. What do I transcode them into, and how do I do that? I could also reload them from the chip with the proper settings if that is faster (and that’s what I’d do with future video). What should my settings in FCP be?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
