Hi John,
Thanks for the info. I was mistaken about the format. Actually they are MP4 files on a SD card from a Sanyo Xacti HD2. I was training someone who just bought FC Express. My student didn't realize when he bought the camera that MP4s are not FC friendly and he doesn't want to have to buy another camera. So I was trying to find the best way to work around the situation. What we wound up doing is converting the MP4 files to QT via MPEG Streamclip. Then we imported the files into FC Express. We still had to render the QT files in FC Express but the render time was much quicker than using the MP4 files directly in FC Express. I didn't see a Log and Transfer feature in FC Express. Is there a better way to work with those MP4 files in FC Express? Shelley MacBoo Pro 2015 16 GB Ram OS X 10.13 Premiere Pro CC
Hi Shelley,
I doubt that MP4 files are going to be any friendlier to FCE that FCP. I suspect iMovie is such a consumerish program that it will embrace just about anything out there while a program that is expected to go heads up with AVID will only address professional codecs. FCE is only supposed to do DV and HDV, so no dice for AVCHD or MP4, etc. At least my opinion since I don't have FCE.
