Written by I’ve got some 4K MOV files from Canon 6D 4K camera, how to get 4K MOV footage to Final Cut Pro or other NLEs? Is Canon 6D 4K MOV files directly compatible with FCP?
Generally, we can use Log and Transfer or Log and Capture to import videos, images, ect to FCP for editing. But MOV video format is a long GOP format that is highly compressed and is not widely supported, including FCP 6/7 and even the latest FCP X. Since, Apple ProRes is the most compatible codec for FCP, so if we want to edit Canon 6D 4K MOV on Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to convert those already shot 4K MOV files to ProRes .mov using third-party software.
