Hi all Im trying to link/import some underwater mp4 files of some really cool sharks in Belize I shot on a go pro knock off they play fine as a mp4 but when it tried to link 3 linked up but none of the others will no link no import . So I tried to convert them with Movavi converter to MXF and .MOV same issues will not link or import they are long gop files is there a workflow I need to do diff.???

First workaround if I convert the MP4 raw files to a .mov with h264 codec it will not open BUT If I convert to a .mov with a mpeg4 codec it will load and now I am Transcoding will see big process to get footage in with the proliferation of these cheep cameras we need to find a better way EDIT UPDATE Trancoded file plays great so for now my mbp will become my offline converter /transcoding mach
.mp4-Files sometimes refuse to link. Just rename them to .mov. No conversion necessary.
Or use GoPro-Studio, it offers some nice features for GoPro-material.

@Tom Pearson: MC will never play native H.264-based media well. As you discovered, always transcode to a Avid-based codec before beginning.

Ask me about Mimiq and Mimiq Pro!
Isaac, I always transcode to Avid codecs but the issue here was they would not open and would stall the machine > I am going to try Der Doyles suggestion and will report back

DerDoyle , Do you know if go pro studio will work on footage from the go pro knock offs ?funny part is they play fine in my Windows machine it's the mac's that are having issues
GoPro Studio works with a lot of files from different sources but it offers typical GoPro features like fish eye removal.
I use GoPro Studio for converting DJI-Footage or for some framerate-conversions. You can use it as a simple conversion tool.
But I think your problem is solved with naming your files in .mov.
In macOS some newer mp4-files have problems playing in the old QT7-Player, but they work fine in QTX.
