When using Final Cut Pro, if you encounter the problem that the format is not supported when importing clips, you can try the following solutions:
1.*Convert**Format**:
Use conversion tools, such as HandBrake, Adobe Media Encoder, etc., to convert unsupported formats to Final Cut Pro supported formats, such as ProRes, H264 etc.
2.*Use external plug-ins or software**:
There are third-party plug-ins or software that can help Final Cut Pro recognize and import footage in more formats. You can try to install and use these plugins or software to fix the issue of format not supported.
3.*Updated Final Cut Pro version**:
Make sure you're using the latest version of Final Cut Pro. The new version may add support for more formats, as well as fix compatibility issues that existed in previous versions.
4.*Find Decoder**:
In some cases, it may be necessary to install a specific decoder to support certain formats. You can try to find and install the appropriate decoder to ensure that Final Cut Pro is able to parse and import footage in these formats properly.
5.*Convert**file**:
If you still can't import footage, you can try using Final Cut Pro's File feature. This will allow you to generate a supported file at the same time as importing the unsupported original file for preview and clipping during the editing process.
6.*Check File Integrity**:
Make sure that the file itself is not corrupted or damaged. Try opening the file with a different ***, or try copying the file to another computer and try importing it to see if the file is working.
