Ill be asking some questions that I hope you guys can answer.
First of all, im fairly certain my video camera saves files as an MPEG, but files are comming up listed as "movie clip"
how do i go about converting, i tried simply adding .mpeg or .wmv, no dice.
and they wont import into premiere.
thanks! |
Sounds like windows is trying to be noob friendly and hiding the file extension, therefore, you can't change it. If it is say called "file.avi" and you just see "file", then changing that to "file.mpg" will probably just change the filename to "file.mpg.avi"
To fix this:
In a My Computer window:
Tools->options
Click View tab
Untick "Hide extensions for known file types"
Click Apply (NOT OK)
Click the Apply to All Folders button at the top.
Now click OK
