Once that is done, if you can playback the file with reasonable efficiency in your FCPX timeline, there would be no reason to transcode it to Prores 422. MP4 that will be easily recognized by FCPX. In your case, re-wrapping your file will place the video codec into a more useable container, i.e. Re-wrapping and transcoding are two different things for different purposes. When i tried changing it to MOV, it saved successfully, but FCP or quicktime still cant open it.Īnd file> export to other formats and selecting mov from thereĪnd in both of these cases it saved successfully and FCP and quicktime could open it but it was only a black screen.

then changing the option of format to mp4 and got this message:Įrror: the movie can't be saved in this format

I downloaded MpegStreamclip and am having issues with it.Īfter putting the file in MpegStreamclip (i tried both using file> Open files and dragging the file into the window on two seperate occassions), i tried doing file> save as. Open it with MpegStreamclip, go to 'Save as' and in the drop down menu choose mov (or mp4, doesn't matter).Īnother helpful tool, specialized in Rewrapping, is the free tool REMUX, which is a bit difficult to find, on its original source it was deleted …Īnd, no, just renaming the suffix from avi to mov doesn't do the trick…
That material doesn't need to be converted, just sticks in the wrong wrapper. …I ran a video through the Media Info app to analyze the file and have attached the results.… preferably a free/low cost solution that is quick/easy (and if it could be done in bulk and/or automatically that would be a big plus, as I'm planning to continue using this camera and would appreciate a fast workflow)Īlso- as i was reading into this i saw some people talk about losing video/audio quality when converting- is that something to be concerned about? Can it be converted without losing quality?

I ran a video through the Media Info app to analyze the file and have attached the results.Īm new to all of this codec and format stuff, could somebody please advise what to do here? Like how to do it in VLC or any other software to convert it. There was alot of options i could have chosen but i don't have any idea which options i should choose (if any). Tried using the file converter in VLC to convert to Mp4/.mov but FCPx didn't accept it (in fact, whenever i tried to open the folder that the converted file in was in in FCP import, FCP crashed lol- idk why). Hi i just got a camera that seems to only shoot in AVI and am trying to import in fcpx.
