Final Cut Express HD w/ MOV files from Nikon
Okay.
I have been using a very old version of Final Cut, Final Cut Express HD 3.0, and it has been working very well. I run Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro, and haven't had any problems creating videos, importing, or exporting them. I bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera for Christmas, and filmed short clips (I don't believe any is longer than ~30 seconds) of my dog to test the film capabilities of the new camera. The camera didn't come with a cord to connect to the computer, so I used an old Canon cord. The videos were transfered to my Mac without an issue, and play as .MOV files in QuickTime Player, Version 10. However, these files are not being read when I try to import them into Final Cut Express. Instead, I get the error message: "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
Any thoughts?
