If you edit movies with your Mac frequently, you may have wondered once in your lifetime why iMovie or Final Cut Pro doesn’t let you import MPEG-2 files to the application? If you know the answer, then you should know the best way of using MPEG-2 files with iMovie or Final Cut Pro.
In this video tutorial, we use Squared 5’s MPEG Streamclip and Major’s ffmpegX to make an MPEG file readable with iMovie and Final Cut Pro. An MPEG-2 file that we use in this video tutorial comes from Internet Archive.
