How to Convert Files Using MPEG Streamclip
If you buy
stock footage off of a website or from a videographer, you may find that the
file format they give you is not compatible with the rest of your project or your
editing software. No worries! You can easily
convert these files to practically any format using a
conversion program called
MPEG Streamclip. This conversion program is available for
FREE at
www.squared5.com.
Once you have the conversion software installed, it is extremely simple to use. For the sake of demonstration, let’s say you need to convert a .mov file to an .avi file.
Here’s how you would do that:
2) Select the video you want to convert by going to File>Open Files. Your video should pop up in the viewer window. 
3) Select the file type you wish to convert it to by going to File>Export to _____. In this case, we chose Export to AVI. 
4) A window will pop up. Select your preferences and then hit “Make AVI” in the bottom right corner.
5) Select a place to save the new clip. Press “OK”.
And that is all you have to do! Using MPEG Streamclip is a super easy way to convert footage to a format that works well with your workflow!Want to practice converting a clip? Download this free stock footage and give it a shot!
