Sony’s latest addition to its Action Cam line-up FDR-X1000V combines all the features experienced users have been waiting for. 4K picture quality is equal to that of current Hollywood blockbusters, the professional-grade XAVC S codec ensures beautiful footage with high bit rate recording, and handy features like the Highlight Movie Maker help you turn your shots into a mesmerizing masterpiece. 

However some users said there was always something wrong happened to FCP X when trying to import Sony X1000V file into it. The FCP X window got grey for a long time until they force quit. Well, the reason to the problem is the GPU and CPU of your Mac may not have the ability to handle with Sony X1000V files. In this situation, I would suggest you to transcode Sony X1000V file to Apple ProRes 422 HQ(*.mov) format with 1080p. BTY, Apple Prores 422 HQ codec is developed by Apple Inc. and .mov format supports for multiple audio tracks, so Apple Prores 422 HQ(*.mov) format is fully supported by FCP X.
