this is because imovie converts your .mp4 into DV for editing. unless you are using the mp4 format for your project.... which i've never gotten to work! this is why imovie rocks with most formats because it converts if first. p.s. i was wrong about FCP not playing my mp4s. FCP will play all my mp4s and edit them, but if i put any filters or transitions, it will not render them but it will export them fine. odd. my latest video has some color correction and a fade in and i was all cut in FCP with the new xacti h.264 mp4 footage: http://ryanedit.blogspot.com/2007/08/thailand-week-1.html I started my Live Music Journal video blog ( > http://livemusicjournal.blogspot.com) because I > bought a Sanyo Xacti HD2 and couldn't edit the .mp4 files in FCP, so > instead, I recorded full > songs from live sets and didn't edit them at all. :) > > But still, it's a huge pet peeve that it works without a hitch in the > consumer software while > the pro software can't handle it.
