Hello All!
I have been given some files to cut together and I thought I'd try my hand at learning FCX with this opportunity. I apologize if this is very basic, but things don't seem to be working for me, though I am sure I am missing something. There are two types of files that I am trying to import:
1) .mov files that had been captured from 8mm film. Strangely, though the extension is a '.mov', my QT player won't even open the file, saying that it is an 'unrecognizable' format.
2) Files that were taken from a Sony EX1 camera. The file folders contain .mp4, .smi, .ppn, .xml, and .bim formats. I tried downloading the XDCAM Transfer app but stupid me, I can't figure out how to use it properly, or if I am using it properly at all.
The .mov and .mp4 files mentioned above CAN be opened using a VLC player however so I know there is useable data in the files.
Any advice on how to get around these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your time!
