Written by Hey, Apple fans, do you all have any experience of working videos in FCP which shot from iPhone? I know it is cool to upload your iPhone movies to any website for sharing after editing in FCP. You all did it nicely? You may have a problem of importing your iPhone projects to FCP for further editing, right?
Basically the problem is that the native record format that the iPhone uses isn’t a codec that plays well together with FCP supported. Codecs are a complicated subject, and FCP tries to be helpful by automatically changing the sequence settings to match the clip. Not only for the H.264 codec videos from iPhone, but also for others like XACV or H.265. Just like the following questions showed:
‘I use Final Cut Pro 7 to edit and whenever I import my iPhone videos, I always have render problems. The audio doesn’t import, the video is clunky and choppy’
What’s the common practice for iPhone videos to FCP workflow? Well, in order to convert the iPhone H.264 to Apple ProRes, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (Windows version) could do this job well. It ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Final Cut Pro.(Premiere Pro is included) Now just download it and follow the steps below to finish the iPhone video to ProRes MOV conversion on Mac(Yosemite included)
