Import MPG/MPEG File for Final Cut Pro, FCP X Editing (Yosemite)

Have trouble importing MPG(MPEG) files into Final Cut Pro 7, FCP X for further editing? If so, follow the quick-start guide to learn how to prepare MPG videos for editing in Final Cut Pro without quality loss.

We usually saw FCP users encounter importing issues when attempting to edit MPG or MPEG files with Final Cut Pro X. Let's see some frequently asked questions on this:

Q1: I have a camera that exports video from my camera to mpeg 2 on the computer. Does Final Cut pro support MPEG 2? Does the quality look good?

Q2: I am trying to import MPEG-2 files into FCP X. I have the raw files from a Sony Handycam HDR-SR5. These files were recorded as MPEG-2 files and copied from the camera hard drives (entire folders were copied containing the MPEG-2 files) to a local hard drive on my computer. Final Cut Pro X does not recognize the files and will not import them.

You probably would like to use Final Cut Pro to edit MPG or MPEG-2 files, especially some recordings from a camcorder to get better videos or more wonderful video files. While, some errors appeared: file import failure, audio going out of sync, video but no audio when brought into the timeline.

In fact, MPEG video compression is only ideal for recording and playback. If you want to edit MPEG-2 in Final Cut Pro X, you need to transcode them to a more edit friendly format. Now I’ll share you the best way how to work with MPEG/MPG files in Final Cut Pro(X). Get the tricks bellow.

Since the most compatible video format for FCP editing is Apple ProRes MOV. So you need to find a third party program to convert mepg-2 to ProRes first before loading to FCP. Here Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac is highly recommended to help you achieve your goal.

With this powerful video converter program, you can effortlessly transcode MPEG-2 to FCP friendly movie format ProRes (Note: it applies to all versions including FCP X, FCP 6, FCP 7, etc) keeping the original quality. Besides Final Cut, this software can also export AIC for iMovie/FCE, DNxHD for Avid Media Composer and more NLE systems. Below is the detailed guide on converting MPEG/MPG clips to Final Cut Pro X friendly videos for smoothly playback and editing.

Converting MPG/MPEG to Apple ProRes 422 MOV for Final Cut Pro X

1. Load MPG/MPEG files to the Program

You can directly drag and drop the MPG/MPEG files to the software, or click "Add" button to locate the source files into the MPG to FCP Mac converter.



2. Choose Final Cut Pro Profile

Press "Format" option and navigate the mouse cursor to choose "Format > Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" as the best codec for FCP 6/7 and FCP X on Mac.



Tip: Before conversion, you can click the “Settings” icon to customize the video/audio settings: Video Codec, video size, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, audio channels for Final Cut Pro.

2. If you want to edit MPEG/MPG in iMovie or FCE, you just need to choose the “iMovie and Final Cut Express -> Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)” as the output format in the second step.

If you met any Sony XDCAM HD422 MXF to Avid MC importing or editing issues like the below user had, go through the page to find the solution.

I’ve been exporting mxf clips from a Sony EX1 and then importing them into Avid for years… always worked well and happened pretty fast. But I have an hour-long clip (an interview) shot with my new Sony PMW-200, and it’s taking forever to import into Avid (v.6.2). A bit more info, in case it pertains:

I first exported the clip (MPEG2 HD Long 35Mbps) from my SxS card to a hard drive (on my MacBook Pro, which has an ExpressCard slot). The export (this is using Sony’s Content Browser) happens very quickly (faster than it used to with my EX1 clips), but, as I’ve said, the import of this clip into Avid doesn’t seem to want to happen.

What caused the problems? As we know, XDCAM HD422 products record and play back high definition video with 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolutions using MPEG HD422 compression and the XDCAM HD422 video footage is wrapped in an MXF container, which is can not natively imported by many professional video editing application including the Avid Media Composer. So, it will be a bit hard when importing XDCAM HD422 video footage with Avid MC. While, things can be different if you get some help from third-party software Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac.

Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter on Mac OS X, which can not only convert Sony PMW-202 MXF files to DNxHD codec videos for Mac editing, but also provide simple video editing functions for you.

Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.

Guide: Transcoding Sony PMW-200 MXF files for editing in Avid Media Composer on Mac
