The Canon EOS R50 looks and feels a lot like a DSLR. It’s smaller than the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, closer in scale to Canon’s APS-C sensors models. It’s wonderful to use a Canon EOS R50 to take photos and record 4K videos when you travel. Before uploading Canon EOS R50 recorded video to Vimeo, YouTube, Dailymotion , Facebook for sharing with others, most of us like to edit the movies. However, many of you may encounter some importing issues when attempting to editing Canon EOS R50 MP4 footage in Final Cut Pro. First of all, let’s see a frequently asked question on this.
"I’m trying to edit my .mp4 files shot on my Canon EOS R50 in Final Cut Pro X. FCP X won’t import or open the files, so I’m assuming Final Cut Pro X doesn’t support that file type?"
"Got Canon EOS R50 to day and been out shooting video all day, now I come home and I can’t open the files in Final Cut Pro, they replay well in QuickTime."
"I recorded some MP4 files via Canon EOS R50, and I plan to upload the 4K footage to Vimeo, but I need to cut the videos first. How to do this? I can’t edit the Canon EOS R50 video in Final Cut Pro smoothly. Please Help"
As far as I know, most Canon DLSR cameras record in H.264/H.265/MPEG-4 and output its files as .MP4 files (the container). The reason that you can’t edit Canon MP4 files in Final Cut Pro smoothly is simple: the Canon EOS R50 uses the sophisticated footage compression method for recording video files to the camera’s memory card. However, the H.264/H.265/MPEG-4 compression format requires that files be transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color grading; this would usually be Apple ProRes, which is proved to be the most compatible format with Final Cut Pro, FCP X, FCP 7 and FCP 6. The easy workaround to solve MP4 and Final Cut Pro incompatible issues, the easy workaround is to convert them to a more editing-friendly format like MOV. Along some help from a third-party program like Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, you can achieve your goal easily and quickly.
