-GoBengals- Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 So iMovie seems capable of doing it, but iMovie seems to be the pickiest fucking software known to man, like it will only open .mov quicktime movies or something? am I missing something or will iMovie not open and edit .mp4, .mpeg, or .avi's? what the fuck? so I got Final Cut Express 4. also seems capable... I cut all the commercials, it gave a codec error trying to export just about every way except divx. and it exported all grainy, and 8GB instead of the 1.2 GB i put in, and thats AFTER taking out 15 minutes of commercials. Suggestions on either making imove be more accepting of video formats? or of making FCE4 not be a stupid prick? or another simple software just for editing out commercials of a video and saving as the same exact settings/quality?

For anything audio/video, I tend to go to afterdawn.com first. Beware of posting questions on their forums without doing a search first. The AV nerds there get a bit touchy about that.
