I find editing .mp4 in Final Cut to be problematic. I hear that the new FCP allows you to edit mp4 files right in the timeline without all the rendering.
I've tried MPEG Steamclip in the past with varied success. Most times I just render. If it's not a complicated edit, and I'm doing it myself without client review, I use iMovie that is able to edit mp4 natively without all the rendering... --Steve On Aug 6, 2007, at 9:54 PM, David Meade wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently got an xacti that stores H.264 .mp4 files.
