> Canon EOS R8 / R8 Mark II Final Cut Pro
The Canon EOS R8 Mirrorless Camera offers powerful photo and video capabilities for both photographers and multimedia content creators. Using the full width of the sensor, 6K-oversampled UHD 4K at 60p video recording is supported, as is Full HD 1080 at 180p for slow-motion playback.
The newly announced Canon EOS R8 Mark II builds on this foundation with a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS), and Dual Pixel CMOS AF II subject tracking for people, animals, and vehicles. Video specs include uncropped 4K up to 60p (6K oversampled) and uncropped Full HD up to 180p, with recording options in Canon's XF-AVC S (H.264/AVC) and XF-HEVC S (H.265/HEVC) formats, both at 4:2:2 10-bit.
However, if you're editing Canon EOS R8 or EOS R8 Mark II footage in Final Cut Pro (FCP 10.6.5 included), you may find it frustrating. Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix the issues with Canon EOS R8 and R8 Mark II MP4 video and Final Cut Pro. Let's find it out here.
As we all know, the Canon EOS R8 and R8 Mark II record in H.264/H.265 and output their files as .MP4 files (the container). So the files you get from these cameras are meant to be delivered as is, which is usually not what you want. Since the MP4 format is a final delivery container, it is not one you want to use for editing. Therefore, the easy workaround is to convert Canon EOS R8 and R8 Mark II MP4 to a Final Cut Pro editing-friendly format.
