MOD Files in Final Cut
I know that this question has been asked before, but i have to ask once again...What is the best way to import MODfiles into Final Cut?
The files come from a JVC everio camera (i don't have exact product# on me). Heres what i already know: I have and use MPEGstreamclip but by doing so causes a)clips to lose quality and b) takes years to export as any format (mov, dv stream, prores, etc), and c) If i export from MPEG successfully, and bring it into FCP i have to throw the clip on the timeline and render it just to be able to view it, and any edit or movement made to that clip than has to be re-rendered again. I have tried renaming the extension to .mov and that does not work as well.
Is there by chance a Plug-in for FCP for using MODfiles and/or is there a easier way to import these files?
