Setting MPEG Streamclip as Your External Video Editor Aperture 3
Setting MPEG Streamclip as Your External Video Editor Aperture 3: " 
"
With DSLR video so popular Aperture is being looked at more and more as an important tool in managing video clips from these cameras. A popular free app called MPEG Streamclip has also been integrated in DSLR video workflows as well. The versatile app is used for transcoding raw video into Apple Pro Res 422 for editing in Final Cut Pro. It’s also useful as a simple video editor similar to the old Quicktime Pro. It’s also really good at being able to go frame by frame if you are looking for frame grabs from video. Aperture and Quicktime don’t allow frame by frame navigation and it’s a bit tedious to land on a specific frame.
The cool thing is that Aperture will allow users to designate a video editor as a external editor. This allows you to send a video clip in Aperture directly to MPEG Streamclip (or any other editor) by hitting Shift>Command>O on any video clip.
If you need to convert a single DSLR clip to another codec, like MPEG-4 or .avi, for instance, you can do it very quickly this way. It will even resave a new version of that clip in your library.
Click the Choose… button and select your video editor from your Applications folder. In this case I selected MPEG Streamclip.
Control>Click
You can get here several ways. You can Control Click inside the video clip, you can go to the Photos menu and select Edit with MPEG Streamclip or use the push the SHIFT>COMMAND>O keys. This will open the video clip automatically.
