The .wmv (Windows Media Video) is the main format used in all videos processed and saved using the Windows system and its video tools such as Windows Movie Maker. It exists in every computer running a Windows operating system and stands today as one of the most used video formats. While the .wmv format is perfect for Windows Movie Maker, it's just inevitable to attempt using .wmv formats in other video editing software such as Final Cut Pro. Since .wmv videos are native to Windows, some Mac users may encounter problems when trying to import WMV to FCP X for editing with the best quality. 

Some questions are found in the WMV to FCP X forum: 

"I'm a newbie using FCP and have a .wmv file that I would like to add chapters to and want to know the best way to do it. I'm assuming I'd have to convert the .wmv file to a .mov or .avi file in order to work with it in FCP but I'm not sure what the best way is to convert the file in a format that'll work. I am not sure if compressor can help with that?" 

"I have tried a couple of different conversion programs to convert a .wmv file to .mov or .mp4, and all seem to result in a viewable mp4, but when I import into FCP and try to put the footage into my sequence, it won't render. The sound renders, but the video remains 'unrendered'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how can I import WMV to FCP X?" 

To do this, a Mac WMV to FCP X video converter is needed. Here Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac is highly recommended to convert WMV to FCP X friendly video format on Mac. Moreover, some video editing features such as trimming, cropping, rotating, merging, adding watermarks, etc. are provided to take your videos to the next level.
