I just bought a new camera today. It saves everything as ".mp4". When I try and drag and drop the files into Final Cut Express 4 , I get a caption saying "file error- unknown file name". What's up with that?

Works every time

But why won't it work just through FCE? It should. .MP4 is like compatible with everything. Going through iMovie takes FOREVER.
