my FCP will not render the h.264 files at all though they will come into the sequence and are editable i just can't watch them. which is kind of dumb for editing but if i'm doing just a quick cut, it's fine and exports fine.
for *actual* editing i have been converting all clips to dv and editing them that way. i use QT pro because mpeg streamclip does something weird with the aspect ratio (it doesnt like going from 640x480 to 720x480) and the quality is a little darker than QT Pro so yeah, i do them one by one because my Compressor program is forever broken and won't launch. that's my method. works great, other than it's a wee bit time consuming doing it one by one. -ryanne On 8/7/07, David Meade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I recently got an xacti that stores H.264 .mp4 files.
