Want to edit your MP4 files with Final Cut Express on Mac? But for some reason Final Cut Express did not let you import them. Why?

Technically, Final Cut Express does support MP4 format. But it only supports MP4 encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data, not all kinds of MP4 formats. Some MP4 files from like Sony, GoPro camcorders and other sources cannot be accepted by FCE. Plus, FCE contains all the essential codecs to read MP4 files. Any different codecs included in audio and subtitle will cause the issue. In the circumstances, we still cannot successfully import MP4 files to FCE. That is to say, if you are unable to locate your MP4 files into FCE, you could adjust MP4 to FCE editable format: Apple Animation Codec, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple ProRes, AVC-Intra, AVC-LongG, AVCHD, DV, DVCPRO HD, H.264, HDV, REDCODE RAW (R3D), XAVC, XDCAM HD/EX/HD422,QuickTime ,3GP, AVI, MOV (QuickTime), MP4, MTS/M2TS, MXF.
