Hello all!

Yesterday I got a mp4 file containing 3 songs.
I have to splitt the file to get a mp4 file per song.

If I remember right, Pro Tools - at the moment - couldn't handle mp4 files?
Could someone recommend some apps for that task?

Thanks in advance and best! / Martin

Hi Martin: It's simple. Just convert the file in the Import window.
Once you hit convert, the file format automatically changes to the
format you set for the session when you created the session. Mp4 is
not as good as WAV anyway, so why not convert it to a format of a high
quality? That's my 2cents for you. Hope it's helpful. God bless!

Best,

Dammie

Hello Dammie!

Thanks for that but what happens to the video signal?

Best! / Martin

Reaper is what I use for editing video, though QuickTime should be able to split it into 3 different clips if that all you need.

Hello!

Is Quicktime accessible regarding setting splitt points?

Thanks and best! / Martin
