Hello all,

I'm new to fanedits so forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere in the forum. I have not been able to find any specific instructions on how to do what I am trying to do.

I am pretty good with FCP and iMovie and have filmed and edited many corporate videos but generally work with raw camera footage and my own soundtracks. I am not sure on how to go about getting bluray encodes into a fully editable state in FCP. I have many of the apps I believe to be necessary to accomplish this but am not sure on what is the best practice in converting the footage.

My end goal is to make my own Kill Bill Uncut bluray edit. I normally use MakeMKV, mkvmerge and Handbrake for my BR backups and drop the resolution down to 720p since 1080p just takes up way to much space with little visible benefit (IMHO). That being the case I need to know how to import either the raw .mkv files or the 720p Handbrake encodes which end up being .m4v format.

Can anyone share with me their ideas on how to go about this?

Thanks.
