I dunno how to help you, but I just tried to import a few .mp4 videos and it worked just fine.

In FCE I then open Capture and then go to Import and import the file. The file plays okay and behaves normally. But when I import either the Flip MP4 file or the QT .mov file into FCP, FCP will not allow me to play the file in any window. It goes to "general error" or a window that says the format is not compatible with what is specified in the sequence. Any help out there? Thanks! BobLL p.s. I'm just moving into FCP, so there may be some presets that in ignorance I haven't made correctly. But FCP Help says QT movie files are compatible with FCP. _______________________________________________ MacDV mailing list MacDV at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/macdv -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
