Importing Media Files

Thanks Ben, but you must have a different App Store to me. Here is what I get:






There does not appear to be a free trial button that I can find.

I'm not in the App Store, I'm on Apple's web site. Look across the top of the screen.

Stand by for further bulletins from Peter B's Skunkworks lab, though now it is almost time for a round of golf first.

I hooked up one of my DV cameras and had no issues importing video via FireWire to FCPX.

Then I tried a short video clip from a tape deck to Mac via my Laird 5500. The image in the import window was a bit shaky but the final result was good, no shaking at all. I burned the clip to an mov file...it worked fine in VLC and Quick Time. But I will be happy to get my Laird 6000D back from the repair shop. I used to do all my own repair work, but decided as I do not have a schematic I would pass on this one.

In tried to upload the mov file here, but it is too big at 40MB. Ah well take my word for it, the result was totally acceptable considering the ancient original.

Thanks Ben, the website is down right now, I will check later.

Only the store is down, the FCP page is up and fine. You can download the free trial just fine, it is not in the store.
