I am going to purchase the DJI Phantom 4 Professional which can shoot 4K video. I wanted to know if anyone has tried to edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro x. And, specifically, has anyone loaded 4K video into Final Cut Pro X that was shot with the device I am going to use? I am using a Mac Pro with 8GM of memory and the operating software version is 10.10.3, Finally, what solutions should I consider for creating smoother video on this device. Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x).

The DJI Phantom 4 shoots DCI 4K (4096 X 2160) video and UHD 4K (3480 X 2160) video compressed with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec in MOV wrapper. Although Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and its later version can handle 4K video with no problem, however, as for working H.264 codec in FCP X, you won’t get a good result.

It is well know that H.264 is an outstanding distribution format, but it is not a good editing format. If you try to edit H.264 in FCP X natively, you will start to lose image quality as you do color correction or composite gradients to create greenscreen keys. There just isn’t a lot of room to work.

To solve these image quality issues, it would be much better to transcode H.264 to a a higher bit-rate format like FCP X’s high performance and high quality editing codec Prores, which render faster and have more room, so you can create great looking effects without losing any quality.

To produce Prores codec from DJI Phatom 4 4K H.264, you can have a try at Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac ( best HD Video Converter for Mac Review ), which helps to directly wrap DJI Phantom 4 4K H.264 video to FCP X best favorable editing format Apple Prores in various different file types. You can choose proper Prores format to output according to the following standards:

If you computer is old or slow, or you just want to do some rough editing, you can select to output “Apple Prores Proxy)(*.mov)”or “Apple Prores (LT)(*.mov)”format to save more space and bandwidth. However, if your computer are powerful enough to handle multicam and high-resolution video and you are going to do many effects editing work with FCP X, you’d better choose to output “Apple Prores 422(*.mov)”or “Apple Prores 422(HQ)(*.mov)”for better performance.

Edit DJI Phantom 4 4K video

Before loading DJI Phantom 4 4k video into FCP X, you can do some simple video customization work with your video footage. If you don’t want to convert the entire video footage, you can use the trimming tool to cut away unwanted segments from the video, if there are black edges around your video frame, you can use the cropping tool to remove them off. You can also merge separate video into single one with the correct order, split large video files into small ones by file size, count or file length. Or add transparent text watermark to video footage.

Besides DJI Phantom 4, the program also helps to load the video footage produced by DJI Phantom 3 , DJI Inspire One into FCP X for professional post-production editing.
