Nope not from a camera. How do I transcode via Streamclip, what are the settings i need and what format to I transcode to?
There is no reason for this not to work. The h.264/AAC combination is the default video/audio track format for QuickTime video.
Can you open the files in the Quicktime player? If so, there's probably something broken with Final Cut Pro X. I would check with Apple, as there is something seriously wrong.
Yea QT opens them fine. They were opened and saved in QT7 I don't know if that makes a difference. Also the files are recent to answer the other question.
Trouble w/ Audio importing .mov to FCP 7
Hello everyone. First, let me start off by say that I'm an idiot when it comes to this kind of software. With that out of the way... I'm trying to import video & audio from Skype that I have recorded using "Call Recorder."
The render bar is lighted when I drag it into FCP & the audio only beeps. When I try to render it, I get the "General Error" message. Can anyone PLEASE, PLEASE tell me what I'm doing incorrectly? I would greatly appreciate it!

Firstly there are no idiots on this forum. We all have issues understanding the world of computers and specially editing software.
No i would not know what format you need. But Skype and FCP7 are not on the same wavelength.
What i suggest try bringing it in into iMOVIE and see if you get the same thing.
No doubt some wonderful person will provide you with the answer. Which will also interest me.

what file format file has skype saved? can you post an info attachment?
mpeg streamclip, as CGBIER previously suggested for the threadstarter's issue, could potentially help you transcribe it to a format "renderable" by fcpx.
Thanks for your replies needfx & daybreak. I couldn't attach a picture but here is what it says under the "General" info:
Kind: QuickTime Movie
Dimensions: 640 x 480
Codecs AAC, H.264
The file says ".mov" after the title. Does that help?
Is mpeg stream clip another program?

I don't see why fcp would not render these files.
yes, mpeg streamclip is freeware for a/v content conversion. best out there.

try a conversion to any other format and load it in fcp to see it if it works.
or try any other video file on your computer, before the above.
