Hello

I too have some Flip Video HD mp4 to edit.

I understand compressor and have located the ProRes and DVCPro settings, however when I bring these new files onto the timeline it still asks me to render.

This, after the sequence settings requests to match the properties of the first file placed onto it.

Is there a golden codec that will be accepted by FCP with no renders required?
