Ted Langdell Ted Langdell Creative Broadcast Services Marysville, CA Find the iMovie clip you want to use, open it with Quicktime Player (Pro) and then export the clip as a DV file, NOT a DV Stream. When finished, open FCP and import into your video clips bin or wherever you're keeping the clips. That process should allow you to put into the timeline and not have to render each instance of the clip. Ted.
