FCP 7 and editing MPEG 2 files...

Hello,
Is there any way to edit MPEG 2 files in FCP 7 without having to convert them before import?
I'm curious as to whether I can download a CODEC that will allow me to edit MPEG 2 files in FCP.
Thanks in advance.

No. MPEG 2 is a Long GOP format not suitable for editing.

No. They must be converted. Use MPEG Streamclip -download link and tutorial [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2070861&tstart=0].

  • Is there an Application that opens  and edits mpeg movie files

    Is there an Application that opens and edits mpeg movie files

    At what level do you want to do video editing?  There are a number of apps that will work with mpeg files available in the App Store, just search on mpeg.  If you want to do heavy duty video editing and work there is always Final Cut Pro X...but that costs $299.99 US...and will do anything and everything.

  • How to create and edit a .ini file using java

    Hi All...
    Pls help me in creating and editing an .ini file using java...
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    sathya

    Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.Properties;
    public class Test {
         private static Properties props;
         public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
              File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
              props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
              read(file);//Read the ini file
              //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
              props.setProperty("testing", "value");
              write(file);//Write to ini file
         public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
              FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
              props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
              fis.close();//close
         public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
              props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
              fos.close();//close
    }

  • Create and edit a PDF file

    Hi,
    Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
    Thanks for any info.

    Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
    For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

  • How do I import (and edit) a QT file from a DVD?

    Have been sent some footage on a DVD which I believe is in Quicktime, and I need to import it into iMovie(3.0.3) and edit it: How do i do this? the files are all marked .VOB, .IFO and .BUP - I can't actually open them and play them on the Quicktime7 player, but on the DVD menu the file is named as "[scenes] in Quicktime"
    I am not particularly adept technically and can't follow many of the posts on this topic, so i don't know if this has already been answered! (sorry...)
    I can play the DVD using my DVD player, although there are no chapters, etc. I just need to extract one scene and edit it into another film project (urgently).
    Help!
    Jonno Roberts

    Viewing DVD (MPEG-2 format) files using QuickTime requires the purchase of the MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple Store).
    After you install the MPEG-2 Playback Component I would also use MPEG Streamclip 1.5.1 (free download) to "export" (just the chapter you need) to DV Stream.
    This new .dv file can be edited and exported using iMovie or added to other iMovie Projects.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to find and edit an .htaccess file?

    I trying to set up a podcast/blog in WordPress, and I need to edit an .htaccess file.
    I use Fetch as my FTP client to access my web site's hosting account, and I can see that there's an .htaccess file there. I need to get it and add a couple lines of code to it to do a URL redirect.
    When I use Fetch to "Get" it, it appears to download okay, but then I can't see it on my desktop or doing a search. I just downloaded EasyFind, on the advice given in another thread, but now I'm wondering, even if I can find the thing, whether I'm going to be able to edit it.
    Anybody got experience with this?
    Dave

    After I posted my inquiry, I solved the problem. Here it is, step-by-step, for somebody wanting a simple solution:
    1. Download EasyFind from this location: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11706
    2. Launch EasyFind; make sure the option to show hidden files is checked on; and then search for .htaccess. It should show up in a list of all hidden files in wherever you're looking (Desktop or wherever).
    3. I double-clicked on .htaccess in EasyFind, and this opened the file in TextEdit. I edited the .htaccess file by adding the command info I needed (in my case, a redirect command). Then I did a simple "Save" command (not Save As...). This saved the edited version as .htaccess (hidden).
    4. I launched Fetch, and clicked "Put." In the Put dialog box, there's an option to show hidden files. When I checked that on, there was .htaccess, visible in the list. I selected that and FTPed it to my web server account.
    5. I tested the redirect, and it worked like a charm!
    Thanks very much to Matt Baya for talking me through some of this, including how to change the .htaccess to do my redirect.

  • Checkout and editing of original files to a DIR stored in SAP content server

    Hi,
    is it possible with SAP Web Documents to checkout and edit original files from a document info record that are stored in a SAP Content Server and save the changes back to the SAP Content Server?
    Kind regards
    Florian Wiedemann

    Hi,
    unfortunately it's not that easy. Mobile Documents provides with NW ABAP 7.40 SP10 an API which, if you implement it, allows you to expose data from basically any ABAP system. Currently the API only provides read support, but we are already working on enabling write and versioning support also.
    If you are interested there is an Expert Session next week on Wednesday the 17th which explains how to get your Data to SAP Mobile Documents.
    Here are the details: SAP Mobile Documents - Webinars

  • Trouble opening and editing a text file

  • Does PSE 12 download and edit raw NEF files

    I have a new Nikon D7100 and PSE 10.  PSE 10 does not support Raw NEF files from this camera.  Does PSE 12 download and edit Raw files from the D 7100? 

    Someone will probably answer this before I finish typing.
    Your issue is less with PSE than ACR or Adobe Camera Raw.  ACR works a little like a conversion engine to get RAW photos from all the various camera models to Adobe's photo programs.   Adobe updates it for recent models every few months.  They don't make it backwardly useful to Elements software. 
    So, you get two choices.  You can upgrade PSE that works with the current ACR modules.  If you don't want to learn the new interface and tools in PSE 12, you can use the free and downloadable "Adobe DNG Converter" that also is kept up for new camera models.  It will batch process you camera files to a more universal RAW format that is useful in the software you have.
