Q: How to open .mov files in final cut pro x
Ok so you (or I) would think apple would at least let us open .mov files in final cut pro X but apparently the codec H.264 won't work. I get the final cut error message, "Final cut pro cannot open files in the "quick time movie format." Why isn't apple apple? So is there a decent way to convert the files into something fcp can work with?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, quad I7

Final Cut Pro cannot open a video file. You can import a video file into the application to edit it. The QuickTime player can open a video file. No video editing application can open a video file. They open projects or libraries or bins or whatever documents they use to store editing information.
