Converting MP4 to AIFF

I purchased a song to use in Final Cut Express. However, Final Cut Express will not accept MP3 or MP4 formats, only AIFF. But iTines will not convert MP4 to AIFF. Both iTunes and Final Cut Express are Apple products. Isn't one department of this company speaking to the other? How can I get my song to play in Final Cut Express?

Burn the file to an Audio CD. Then import back into Final Cut. Or use iMovie and import the song into that then export(share) out as an AIFF file. iMovie needs to be version 4.0.1 or later and Quicktime needs to be 6.5.2 or later.

  • Converting mp4 files to mp3 files

    could someone tell me how to convert mp4 files into mp3 files? thanks

    Now this is clear.
    You didn't have an .mp4 file or even a .m4a file. Yours is .m4p.
    The "p" stands for protected.
    The rules say you can burn your .m4p files to CD. The CD file will be in .aiff format.
    Drag the .aiff file into iTunes and then "convert" (using the options in your preferences for bit rate and extension).

  • How to convert .mp4 or .flv to mp3?

    I've been searching for Mac software that lets me convert mp4 or flv files to mp3, but I can't seem to find any at all. I know of some that work on windows, but since I have a macbook pro I want a program that works on it.
    It doesn't have to be free, I don't mind paying for the software if it actually works...So if anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance!

    I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
    Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
    I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
    It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
    There are no restrictions on iSquint.
    There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
    Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

  • Drifting sync with converted MP4 files

    Hi there. I'm converting some MP4 files to .mov using AIC using slipstream so that I can edit the footage in FCP. I find that the sync is drifting very gradually within a few minutes. The sound is an aiff file recorded digitally at the time. Any idea what might cause this? Thanks. Should I use another codec?

    Do not use ProRes HQ. It's overkill unless you are working with FILM not VIDEO. Just use ProRes 422. You will see this documented all over this forum. It was even discussed earlier today.
    To the OP- A lot of people also use MPEG Streamclip (free download) to convert files to editing formats. Not that there is anything wrong with Compressor. I just want to point out another option.
    What sample rate was the audio recorded in? 44.1khz or 48khz? If it's the former it would explain why your audio is drifting. Try using QT to convert to 48khz AIFF 16 Bit

  • Is it possible to convert to an AIFF file in itunes 10 and beyond, and if so what is the procedure?

    Hello.  Is it possible to convert to an AIFF file in itunes 10 and beyond, and if so what is the procedure? 
    I use FCP7 and often have a sound loop or the like that I need in AIFF format, I normally use itunes to do the conversion, but have heard that version 10 no longer performs this task...?
    Thx for the help!

    I can't find convert to aiff as an option in itunes 10.
    It still works the same as in past releases.  Go to Edit > Preferences > Import Settings, and set "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder," and then the option will be available.  Consult this document for details:

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Hi,
    First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
    My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
    The video is added to the que.
    Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
    When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
    The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
    All setting are on default.
    Can someone please help.
    Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

  • Convert mp4 format to mp3,wmv,etc in nokia mobile

    Hey, i'm using a nokia 7230 mobile handset, which doesn't support mp4 vedios which i download from the internet. I hate connecting my phone to the computer just to convert the vedios and back.. So is there an app i can download to convert mp4 vedios in the handset, so i can stream it....

    Yes, go to Preferences in iTunes, set the Import setting under the General tab to use MP3. Then select the tracks you want to convert, now you should see a choice in the File menu called 'Create New Version' with a sub-choice of MP3.

  • Converting mp4 to mp3

    Help - I'm no techie! I simply wanted to convert mp4 files to mp3, which wouldn't work in itunes, because they are 'protected' files. A friend suggested Audacity, which I downloaded. I opened a file in Audacity, went to export as mp3, and got the message that "Audacity does not export mp3 files directly, but instead uses LAME, an mp3 exporting library available separately. would you like to locate LameLib now?" I clicked yes, but couldn't find anything in finder. At a loss, I went back to sourceforge and clikced to download LAME, hoping it would automatically sort everything. Nothing appeared to happen. It didn't seem to download, and I couldn't find any trace of it on computer.
    Any help with this much appreciated - I just want to convert the files so I can put em on an mp3 CD! Seems like it should be incredibly simple to solve, but I am lost.

    Wait a minute! There is an answer to your (and my) problem in the thread just below yours.

  • Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

    Final Cut Express 4.0.1 How do I convert MP4 to a usable format without loosing quality

    If you shoot in one of the following modes you should be able to Log & Transfer directly into FCE:
    HD:  1920x1080/60i (FX or FH mode)
    HD:  1440x1080/60i (HQ or LP mode)
    SD:  720x480/60i
    1080/60p (PS mode) seems to be the default mode in your camcorder.  FCE only supports progressive video in 720p50 or 720p60.   That's probably why you have had to import via iMovie.
    It would be better to upgrade to Final Cut Pro X, the version currently supported.  FCE was discontinued over 18 months ago and is not supported on Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Convert mp3 to aiff

    i imported songs into itunes as mp3.how can i convert them to aiff and i done tried setting preferances,hit convert to aiff and its not working.at least if it did the show info still says mp3.if i burn the mp3 through itunes set on audio does that convert it to aiff and burn it as such?

    A data disk will not not play on your CD player like an audio CD. It's only useful for backing up in case you need to restore your library.
    The convert feature should work. Don't know why it's not. What view do you have your library set on? You might tell iTunes to show duplicates and make sure the converted file isn't hiding somewhere. (You say you set the Preferences....that would be iTunes prefs, Advanced, Import (IF you want to convert the file) and set to AIFF.
    If you're burning the file after that, setting Burning to Audio CD.
    +*That's how it should work.*+
    P.S. Are you sure the files are MP3s? If they were downloaded from iTunes, they are protected AAC and you won't be able to convert them to AIFF. (Have to burn, then re-rip to convert those.)

  • Converting mp4 files to mp3

    I'm trying to send a song which has been downloaded from i-tunes to my phone via bluetooth, but my phone doesn't have an mp4 player on it, and ive tried converting it but even when I thought I did, i still cant play it on my phone, therefore does anyone know if it is possible to convert mp4 into mp3 files or any other advise gratefully welcomed.
    Thanks ben

    If you've downloaded it from the iTunes Store, then you won't be able to play the file on your phone because iTunes Store purchased tracks are protected against copying/conversion to MP3.
    If the file is ripped from your own CD you can convert it using the guide here:
    http://askbobrankin.com/convertitunes_to_mp3format.html
    Otherwise, you will have to burn an audio CD of the track(s), then re-rip them in MP3 format for your phone.
