About H.264 Insert Edit
H.264 Insert Edit requires a cineX created H.264 file.
You can create an insertable H.264 file through:
- Using cineXplugins to export an insertable H.264 from Media Composer or Premiere. The plugin to export is free and does not require a license. If you want to insert-edit using the plugin, you will need a paid license.
- Using cineXtranscoder to create an insertable H.264. cineXtranscoder is a free watch folder based application that transcodes any file to an insertable H.264. You can review how to install and use it here.
- Using cineXtools to transcode a non-supported H.264 file. A message will pop up saying your file cannot be inserted to and ask whether you want to transcode your file for insert-edit. (version 1.997 and beyond)
