If you’re looking for the easiest drone to fly with the most flight time, features and great video quality, the Phantom 4 is the only option that I would recommend to just about anyone.The Phantom 4 boasts sweeping curves, elegant lines and a polished shell that redefines the classic Phantom 4 shape. Its exquisite detailing and matt finish composite components add a level of finish and quality never seen before in a flying camera. Well, then you may seek for a tutorial for the post workflow when dealing with Phantom 4 footage just like me. In this tutorial, I will share a guide on how to import DJI Phantom 4 4K (4K MOV/4K MP4) to Final Cut Pro for further editing.
As a matter of fact, Final Cut Pro won’t deal with 4K videos well - have to wait for 4K MP4 or 4K MOV footages from DJI Phantom 4 can’t be recognized. The easy workaround I have worked out is to use a third-party video app to convert 4K video to ProRes for FCP (read FCP supported formats) direct editing. Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (Windows) is what most guys recommend.
Overall, this 4K video converter provides the most reliable and professional 4K solutions to all format issues including 4K MP4, 4K MOV, 4K XAVC/XAVC S, 4K MXF, even iPhone (6S/6S Plus/6/6 Plus/5S/5C) clips more.
