HD MP4 in Final Cut

Just got myself a HD camcorder and found that it creates MP4's
I understand that Final Cut doesn't really like MP4's for editing, so what's the best format to convert them into without any loss in quality?

JM
Can I make a suggestion for the future ... +"Just got myself a HD camcorder and found that it creates MP4's"+ is missing what might be a vitally important but easily provided bit of info. Which camera exactly? It may seem inconsequential but that kind of info can and often does provide the most direct route to the answer as others may already be using that same camera and so can provide the direct answer you need rather than best guessing the solution ... Or not, but its always worth a try!

  • Exporting AVCHD to mp4 from final cut for uploading to youtube (apple prores, .MOV, h264, x264, handbrake)

    Hello everybody,
    I Edit 1920x1080 AVCHD in Final Cut 7. Working with apple prores to export video to mp4 and then upload it to youtube. The goal is obviously the least quality loss in the process and to get a file as light as possible. Which of these three options is correct?
    1. Export to mp4 from Final Cut (using quicktime conversion): h264 codec and bitrate 8000 kbps.
    2. Export to .MOV from Final Cut (using quicktime conversion): h264 codec. Then, use handbrake (mp4 / x264 ).
    3. Export apple prores sequence to. MOV from Final Cut (using quicktime movie). Then, use handbrake program (mp4 / X264 codec)
    thanks a lot!

    One friend told me dont choose none of the three options...
    Told me about exporting a reference movie from timeline and then take the reference file into compressor.
    I finally took the reference file and took him to compressor. I installed x264 and got one .mov very heavy, so I had to use the handbrake to get less weight and get mp4.
    I did the same operation in streamclip and got a mp4 file (x264) with same size than .mov (compressor). So in both cases, if I want the less size I have to go on 2 steps (first compressor or streamclip and then handbrake ..)
    any more suggestions? :-)

  • Converting Super 8 Mp4 for Final Cut Pro 7

    I have been given some Super 8 wedding footage already digitised to mp4. I am trying to convert mp4 to an intermediate codec so I can edit in Final Cut 7. I can't get Mpeg Streamclip to convert the files. Any idea which codec and settings I need to use?
    Mpeg Streamclip keeps telling me 'Error: Can't prepare movie'
    Many thanks

    read only shouldn't make a difference.  If you think there's some issue with the drive, try copying them to another drive.  If you've got a short file and want to send it to me, I'll take a look.

  • When i put a .mp4 into final cut i cannot scroll threw to edit. Why?

    I am really using final cut pro 7. I had a video I took with my canon and it records it to an avchd format. After converting it to a .mp4 format using winAVI it plays smoothly in Quicktime but when i throw it into final cut i cannot scroll threw it easily. It just bugs out and freezes.

    Why do you convert it first???
    Let FCPX import the AVCHD files directly!!
    Oh, and if you really are on FCP7, then you need to ask over in that forum!

  • Sanyo XACTI HD1000 MP4 and Final Cut Express HD

    Hi there,
    I hope that somebody can help me. I am completely new to video and just purchased the Sanyo XACTO HD1000 Full HD camera which is not AVCHD but H.264 with file extension MP4.
    As I do have some footage with FullHD 1920*1080 I'm getting somewhat frustrated about not being successful to get anything done in FCE HD:
    The Log/Transfer option doesn't work as FCE complains about either unsupported format and/or invalid directory structure.
    Dragging and dropping a mp4 to the upper right shows a green screen. When playing then I do hear sound but video stays "green".
    I tried MPEG streamclip to convert in any other format but still the screen is green...
    Does anybody have an idea how to overcome this issue, whether Apple does have any plans to provide an update etc.? It's kind of funny that H.264 seems to be a more and more adopted standard (one of the reasons I chose the Sanyo camcorder) but a such powerful software like FCE can't handle it.
    Quicktime also cant play the video files...
    Any help is more than appreciated in order to get a planned Christmas gift (=DVD) done in time...
    Thanks

    I am also using a Sanyo Xacti HD 100 camcorder and although I am not sadistic, I really am excited to find finally someone who has also bought this marvellous thing and experiences the same problems as I have.
    Reading your topic makes me already a lot wiser noticing that the format of the Xacti is AVC/H.264 ( being different than the AVCHD-format ) probably is the reason why imcompatiblity occurs with Apple. As I can conclude we only can wait till Apple makes an update to solve this problem, and till then use the lower quality.
    The software which surely wil do the things we want is Ulead ( Corel - Windows software ) which seems to be bundled with the HD100.

    Earlier today I launched folowing topic, now I know the problem probably is the AVC/H.264 - format.
    +My experience in using the Apple video software is that there are no problems as long as I don't try the full HD quality.+
    +First of all, just simply trying to view the HD files with Quick Time - after having copied them on the harddisk- does'nt work. The only thing I see is a green screen while I do hear the audio part, so I presume QuickTime & Full HD aren't compatible.+
    +When I try to import full HD video's using *iMovie 7*, iMovie crashes, so I presume iMovie & Full HD aren't compatible.+
    +Then I tried *iMovieHD 6*, while is seemed that this earlier version does handle the full HD - format, the importing succeeded but ... once again trying to view the files doesn't work, as the generated miniatures look like, also the screen only shows a full green screen with sound !!+
    +So I presume iMovieHD 6 & Full HD aren't compatible.+
    +The only thing that is left is trying to use *Final Cut Pro*, which I still have to buy.+
    +As full HD is represented as the standard for optimal quality, practical use seems upto now to be quite complicated and simply not working although a lot of features claim to do.+
    +Do you think Final Cut Pro will handle with FULL HD, or what else can be the reason the incompatibility of Full HD with Apple software.+

  • Importing MP4 into Final Cut

    Hello. I have a MP4 video file i need to import into Final Cut Pro 5.0.1, and I am getting a cannot import error. What are my options here. Do I need to update to a newer version of Final Cut. I am trying to get the best possible quality as possible.
    Thanks
    Dennis

    The trick may be to save it as an .mov,
    but make sure you set a good codec!
    Try uncompressed, or animation codec if you really want the best quality,
    or save it as an .mov with the pre-res codec.
    If you are inter-cutting with some other footage you could always convert it to that codec,
    but it would be better to go with uncompressed as it will inevitably need color grading as web based stuff, or MP4 colors can slide; and wild footage certainly needs some color guidance.
    Use compressor to convert it, or just open the MP4 in quicktime, and do a save as, and choose the codec under the video options.
    Or do use MPEG Streamclip (as suggested) to convert it to an .mov with a good codec as this program is really good for those difficult Mpegs.

  • Why mp4 is not supported by Final Cut Pro?

    Hi all,
    I want to put a logo in a video but the format is in mp4. Final cut refuse to open the file. What should i do ? My file is in HD and i dont want to loose quality at all. How can i convert it ? With what program  ? Any free ?
    Thanks

    Thank you guys for the answers. I am at work at the moment and i tried to install the MPEG Streamclip in my Windows 7 computer. And the message i post was the message i saw on the screen.
    Last night i was trying to do the same on my iMac at home.  Same message , same process.
    I am sorry i dont know what the codec is but i am sending screen shots .
    I can view the video from WMP and from Quick Time Player . Only what i want to do is to edit it and to put the logo of my company in the right up corner. Thats  it. The production company sent this mp4 file to some cooperates and they forward to me.  It will be difficult to send it to me back again the video  in a different format . (long story!!)
    Is something i can do ? ? ?
    Thanks in advance, highly appreciated !

  • Can I use "apple script" to auto input xml file to final cut pro and auto export mp4 file?

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Pro Audio Levels Low when exporting to mp3 and mp4

    Hi everyone!  When I export audio from Final Cut as an mp3, my levels are very low.  When I export footage as an mp4, the audio is low as well.  But before exporting, my levels are right at or below 0.  So they are where they should be.  So for example, when I open the audio in Adobe Audion or Logic, they could almost be doubled before peaking within those programs.  Could this be a compression issue?  And input would be helpful.  Thanks!

    Are you working 0n 10.0.9? If not, update FCPX and see whether that solves the problem.

  • Using Compressor 4, How do you create a droplet to transcode from final cut files to mp4, mp3 and m4v formatting?

    Using Compressor 4, How do you create a droplet to transcode from final cut files to mp4, mp3 and m4v formatting?

    Take a look at this section; it's pretty clear.
    Compressor offers settings for each of the output formats you want. (For example, the m4v sttings for Apple Devices.)
    Good luck.

  • How using mp4 files on final cut pro x

    a can't impot any mp4 (I don't want converter to mov) file in to fcp x.
    how using mp4 files on final cut pro x?

    MPEG-4 is  delivery framework and should never be used in production. At the very leasgt you should optimize the media when you import it.

  • Final Cut Error when moving .mp4 clip into sequence

    I attempted to move an .mp4 clip into the sequence and it says "General Error" before Final Cut Pro Force closes itself.  In the error details it says something about a thread error whatever that means.  It will play fine in the Quicktime Player but will not open in Final Cut or allow itself to be moved into the timeline.  Anyone know why this is happening? 
    The .mp4 is in H-264 format and I have Final Cut Pro 7.0.3

    Editing h.264 without conversion is not supported in FCP. You need to convert your clip(s) to an FCP edit friendly codec. What codec is appropriate is a function of what the properties of the source h.264 clip are.
    You can find the properties for your clip by clicking on the clip in the FCP browser so that it is selected, then typing Command + 9. Either report what the item properties are for the clip, or take a screen shot and post the screen shot here if it is easier.
    The reason that the clip plays back in Quicktime is that quicktime is a player, not an editor.

  • Hi, since i put some mp4 video or DVD files on my external hard drives final cut prox won't recognize my hard drives, i move all the video files and the problem still exist. somebody have the solution

    Hi, since i put some mp4 video or DVD files on my external hard drives final cut prox won't recognize my hard drives, i move all the video files and the problem still exist. somebody have the solution

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.
