FCP import: VLC, WMV or QUICKTIME

Hi,
Not too long ago I was able to important VLC or WMV files into FCP. Now I can't, can anyone tell me what happened? Is there a way to convert video files that is VLC or WMV to Quicktime so I can continue editing my project.
Many thanks,

All you need is the basic version, $29:

With this installed, you will be able to open WMV or AVI movies (VLC I'm not sure about) in Quicktime Player, then export to, say, DV-NTSC, which is an ideal format for working in FCP.
As to why it worked before, it could be any one of a number of reasons, but it's most likely to do with Microsoft's move to non-Mac compatible DRM'd WMV9, and the dropping of their native support for WMV on Mac. Microsoft handed over future plug-in development to the Flip4Mac people, who have actually greatly improved things. You don't need to pay anything to download their plugin and play back movies, but you have to pay to enable you to export them to other formats. But at least you only need the basic version!

How can I import VLC files into quicktime?

I'd like to be able to import some files into Quicktime from VLC. Thanks. David

MPEG Streamclip and the MPEG-2 Playback Component should work to demultiplex and convert VOB files. The Help menu in MPEG Streamclip should have complete instructions. You could also look into DVDxDV or Cinematize.

Can Quicktime Pro version 7 import the WMV video files?

With my previous Quicktime Pro version 6, I couldn't import the .wmv files. Is there any enhancement on Quicktime Pro version 7 to support .wmv files import?

QT 7 still doesn't import .wmv files. There are some plug-ins for Mac systems but so far no one has mentioned any for Windows. Since sometimes people with Macs post in this group (and you don't list your platform in your message) I will include a link to one of the companies that makes such plug-ins for Mac:

Importing a WMV file

Am working on a project and need to imprort into FCP a WMV file that is about 30 sec. How can I get this into FCP without losing compression/quality?

I would use the Popwire WMV-9 Component it gives you a free import of WMV-9 media to FCP, you have to pay to get it to export more than 20 sec.
And it is a Universal Application (PPC/Intel)
http://www.popwire.com/productinfo.php?cPath=1&productsid=7
Info from Popwires homepage:
"....our evaluation version of WMV Component 2 lets you import and view Windows Media content without any limitations. Exporting content is however unlimited for licensed users only."

Serious problem with FCP import

Hi
I wonder if anyone is having the same problem with Final Cut Pro importing into Premiere Pro CS4 - basically it all looks fantastic until, on any sequences with audio fades or anything more complex than just clips having been dropped onto the timeline in a straightforward manner, you try and drag anything or copy and paste it elsewhere: "serious error" pops up in a dialogue referring to a .cpp library (or something) and crashes the whole program.
Having now installed CS4 Production Premium on a desktop and laptop (both with different OS - XP and Vista) and both coming up with the same problem at pretty much the same point in the import/editing process, it seems that the FCP import is seriously flawed. Really disappointing.
Is anyone else having this issue? What can I do about it? The errors mean nothing, it is so difficult to know where to begin to start to try and fix the problem or find a workaround.
Thanks,
Andy Campbell

Thanks for replying. The clips are in Quicktime format. Basically I am taking over an edit that was started in FCP on the Mac and trying to finish it in Premiere Pro CS4. However any even slightly complex timelines crash when you try and drag or select certain clips. I can't find any one common aspect of a clip or series of clips that makes it crash otherwise it might make some sense.
Josh Townsend's advice on the forum about exporting as AAF however has really helped me - I have taken the sequences back into CS3 and they work perfectly, no problems, although a little slow. Shame it has to come to that though; working in CS3 again rather than CS4 when I've just upgraded.
Playing or rendering the sequences from FCP in CS4 actually works. Even scrubbing works. But selecting or trying to drag just causes a serious error that flushes the whole program down the toilet.
Thanks,
Andy

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

How do I import a wmv video from my PC to my Iphone 5S via Itunes?

iTunes and the iPhone do not support WMV files. You will first have to convert the video to an MPEG4 or H.264 format video.
Handbrake is free and should be able to do this, see https://handbrake.fr

Top clipped when I import a wmv video. Please Help.

When I import a wmv video into premier elements 9 the top part of the video is clipped. The video plays fine externally with windows player, and plays in premier but the top is clipped. This happens for any video I try to import. The video properties are as follows...798 w x 480 h, 25 frames/sec, 1858 kbps. I definitely need help with this one, as I cannot even start a project.

In case you are missing the Announcement, it should display
Announcement: Windows Update Causes Display to Be Blacked Out
Hide Details
MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
"MS bulliten MS13-057. Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files. Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml
There have been many, many threads on the subject..lots of helpful hints on the matter of deleting the offending Windows Update kb. Major points that were offered include:
a. for the present, set your Windows Updates so that you require notification for any downloading and installing of them.
b. if you catch the offending Windows Update kb in Windows Updates Important Updates, then right click that kb and select Hide...that is supposed to block it from further activity.

I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2. I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

Russ and Luis,
I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in. Still no luck. I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out.
Another piece of the puzzle is that footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3. Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX. The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
Any ideas? (screen shots below)
Thanks.
Peace, Huey
FYI Here is what Canon says
"There is another trick that works sometimes though. Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility. Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
I did do this but no results. Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX. I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that.

P2 HVX FCP Import question

Hi I am shooting 720pn on an HVX and can't get them to come in at 1280x720 on FCP. I went to Easy Setups and chose DVC PRO HD with 1280x720 as the size but then when they come in they are 960x720. Then when I look at the size of the quicktimes they are far smaller than they are on the P2. That's how I first caught the problem. What's strange is that on another computer I have p2 log and that keeps them the same file size and same resolution. Not sure what I'm doing wrong in FCP. It's the academic version 5.1.4. Really appreciate any help. I'm in Tanzania on a shoot right now trying to figure this out.
http://ryanhill.net

Thanks for your help guys. What's strange is that the P2 Log Quicktimes remain the same file size, while the Quicktimes FCP generates are much smaller. So a 16GB card is 16GB worth of Quicktimes when converted in P2 Log is 16GB whereas in FCP the size of the quicktimes is greatly reduced.

FCP Stops responding when exporting quicktime file still

FCP Fresh install and FCP Still fails to export quicktime file, stops responding.
I'm in the middle of a project, that really needs to be finished ASAP. Anyone out there have a solution to fix this problem, will be appreciated more than can be said.

You know Lloyd, if this is a second thread about an old problem, you are really better off in the original thread. It allows us to follow along with the problem at hand, what has been suggested and what you have tried so far and the results.
Just off the top of my head and without searching for the original thread (I'm too lazy today,) I'm guessing you might have a corrupted file or render file.
Does it always stop at the same place? Where is your media stored? to where are you exporting? How much ram do you have?
Here we go, starting all over again...

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos, more so for HD content. Any tips to improve performance? I have already tried turning off automatic graphics switching, did not make things better
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch, and i have had this problem from forever

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly. I was referring to watching a video on the iPod. It is really annoying when the video freezes momentarily, and the audio continues to play smoothly, but by the time the video catches up, you have lost several frames of your video. You know what I mean? Really annoying...
Papi625
Let me ask you this:
How can you "watch" a video while you are scrolling
around in your menus? There is only one screen on my
iPod and I can only use it to watch videos OR scroll
through menus. When I press the menu button while
watching a video, the iPod goes back to the previous
menu. Then, when I go back to the video, it starts
back exactly where it was when I pressed the menu
button in the first place. Apparently, it pauses
while you are looking through the menu screens. Now
with music, I understand what you're saying but I
haven't had any stuttering or anything while browsing
the menus. The video is a bad example because it
doesn't work like you have explained....

Wmv and quicktime attachments in iphone 4

Hi, If someone sends me an email with either a .wmv or quicktime video, how on earth do I open it?????

Just found a free one that works beautifully. It's called OPlayer. It's a standard iPhone app, and the free version works fine. The first time you play a video from email, you'll likely have to select OPlayer. After that, it shows up automagically. Once in the OPlayer, the video is in the "My Documents" file location, under Inbox (at least that's what it did for me).
Above was with a .wmv - haven't had a chance to test it with an avi or other format.
Hope it works for you!

Does FCP import iMovie projects?

does FCP import iMovie projects?

Thanks, Tom Wolsky and Whiteshirt, for confirming my suspicions. I've always liked iMovie 6 for its simplicity, but I guess I'll have to get up to speed with FCP X. I like the multicam feature. Now, if they'd only include chapter markers in the next update.
