The powerful MPEG Streamclip for Mac is a powerful video converter, editor. It's also a great organizational tool for all of your media. You can play the video, edit them by cutting, copying, pasting, and trimming before converting them. However, one of the big problem of this program is its poor compatiblity with new Mac operating system, for people who are going to upgrade to the new macOS Sierra, you will unavoidably encounter the similar situations listed as below:
MPEG Streamclip will no longer open/play mp4s etc
I recently had to reinstall OS X 10.11.3 and all other open source and licence purchased software onto my Mac HD. The unique free MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 will recognise title of mp4 file (shows in application viewing window) but says "File open error: unrecognised file type". Clicking "open Anyway" button brings up window "File open error: can't find video or audio tracks" warning.
MPEG Streamclip for Mac - any alternatives?
I often use MPEG Streamclip to transcode to ProRes or DNxHD, but seeing as it does not use all threads for me (only one thread on a 3770K right now) and no development has been done to MSC since 2012 (does anyone know, if it is dead?), is there any alternative?
Alternative to Mpeg Streamclip for Mavericks?
I'm trying to find a way to export my FCP projects to Quicktime X264 for internet delivery. In the past, I exported a master file and converted it using Mpeg Streamclip, but it doesn't work in Mavericks. Any inexpensive solutions?
