I have been shooting some MP4 footages using the Panasonic DMC-GH4 for various output purposes. When I use log and transfer to import the GH4 MP4 files into FCP X, I can’t preview the video in the preview window. How to slove this problem? Is it possible to edit MP4/MOV/AVCHD video in FCP X without rendering? Which format is the best for editing in FCP X?
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4 is the world’s first DSLM with 4K cinematic recording capability. It can also capture still images, 1080p video (at up to 96fps for slow-motion capture), and has a splash and dustproof design for all-weather shooting. It captures 4K footage at up to 30fps (24fps and 25fps are also available for a cinematic look), and it can store that footage at a 100Mbps bitrate using IPB compression in an MP4 or MOV container format. Users can freely choose the format from MOV, MP4, AVCHD Progressive and AVCHD at a variety of frame rates according to the usage.
