Can't log and transfer Gopro Hero 5 4K MP4 to FCP
(X) on MacOS Sierra? Find the solution for 4K from Gopro Hero 5 to FCP
workflow in the following article.
GoPro has finally released their newest action camera the GoPro
Hero 5! With 2 new model Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session. For video
capture, the Hero 5 retains the same specs as the Hero 4, although it's
not repurposing the same chipset. It can shoot up to 4K at 30 frames per
second and Full HD 1080p at 120 fps (max bit rate is 60Mbps). Though 4K
MP4 generated from Hero 5 is well compatible with some of Mac software
like QuickTime player, iTunes,
etc. However, when it comes to importing the GoPro Hero 5 4K MP4 videos
to FCP 7 for editing, it is a painful experience to Hero 5 owners.
In fact, H.264 MP4 is an ideal file type for video capture in an
SLR camera, delivering relatively compact file sizes with image quality
noticeably superior to alternate video compressions (such as Motion
JPEG). However, the H.264 compression format requires that files be
transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color
grading.
Worse still, learn from Apple official site, though FCP X has been
updated to provide unprecedented performance when editing and monitoring
4K video. Final Cut Pro X natively supports 4K ProRes, Sony XAVC and
REDCODE RAW, the old version FCP X or Final Cut Pro 6/7 like many
editors use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so
for a long time. If you want to have a smooth 4K MP4 from GoPro Hero 5
and FCP workflow, you are advised to convert Hero 5 4K video to Apple
Prores Codec MOV, which is natively compatible with Final Cut Pro.
In this case, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is best choice to get the work done. Overall, this program is a completely professional Mac 4K video converter,
player and editor. Unlike some free video converters, it provides
hundreds of output format presets for 4K videos, such as Apple ProRes
422, Apple ProRes 4444 for Final Cut Pro, DNxHD for Avid Media Composer,
MPEG-2 for Premiere better editing.
This Ultra HD Video Converter is also available to customize the
output resolutions to any size the users want so as to downscale Gopro
Hero 5 4K MP4 to 1080p for smooth editing. With the built-in video
editor, you can choose to trim, crop, add watermark to edit your original 4K MP4 videos
from Hero 5. Thus, with the video converter app, you can fast transcode
GoPro Hero 5 4K video to FCP X/7/6 friendly format with ease. If you

Converting Gopro Hero 5 4K footage to FCP editable video
Note: If you are FCP X users, before you try to do the conversion, don't forget to make sure that you have installed the Apple ProRes Codec manually since the FCP X asks users to install it by themselves.
1. Launch the 4K Video Converter for Mac and click add button to import Hero 5 4K clips to the program for converting.
2. Click "Select Format" bar to choose the output format. You can
freely choose "Format > Editor > Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Pro
7" for editing natively.
Tip: You can click the "Settings" button and video
size, bitrate and fame rate are flexible and can be adjusted as you
like. Since Final Cut Pro 6/7 and even the Final Cut Pro X can’t handle
4K well, 1080p would be the best settings. Of course, if you wanna get a 4K workflow in FCP, you keep the original video resolution.
3. Hit "Start" button to start transcoding Gopro Hero 5 4K MP4 to Final Cut Pro editable ProRes 422 codec.
Once the process completes, you can find the generated videos via
"Open" button. Now, it is easy for you to transfer the encoded Gopro
Hero 5 4K videos to FCP X/7/6 for further editing and even share edited
video from FCP to iPhone/iPad/Android for watching with Dimo Free Media Server.
