How to Import Gopro Hero 5 4K MP4 video to FCP 7/X

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 playeriTunes, 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 are working on Windows (Windows 10 included), please turn to Dimo Video Converter Ultimate which can transcode 4K to Apple Prores for FCP on Windows.

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.

So what's the matter? If you've trouble playing MP4 files on DVD player, read on for details.



Well, here are somereasons why we can't Burn or Play MP4 on DVD Player:
1. Majority of DVD players only accept MPEG-2 in a standard VOB format, and very few of them are compatible with MPEG-4 videos. 

2. All standard DVD accept videos that conform to a certain resolution and BVOP settings. For instance, a majority of DVD players limit import to a resolution of 720 by 756 or 720 by 480. While, if you got some MP4 files with greater than this, your DVD players will not have the capacity to play it.

3. Newer models of DVD players can be able to play AVI files on one and only one condition, the AVI file has to be further encoded with another codec such as Xvid, Divx, WMV and MPEG-1 just to name a few. And MP4 wouldn't be supported.

How to Play MP4 on All Kinds of DVD Players?

Solution 1: Convert MP4 to DVD Player

Then putting your MP4 onto a DVD to play on your TV can be easy.

Solution 2. Burn MP4 to DVD player for playback

If there are no USB ports on your DVD player, you can opt to burn MP4 files to DVD disc for directly playing on DVD players with the following 3 free DVD Creator.

Tiny Burner: An excellent freeware app that works with CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. The installer also comes with a 32-bit and 64-bit version and will install the appropriate version automatically. Just load your disc into the drive, drag and drop the files you want and click the Burn icon to burn the disc.

StarBurn: A nice full-featured CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning app. It has a nice GUI interface that splits your burning options into audio, video, and data. You can burn images and build ISO images also. Unique features include the ability to erase a disc and to compress audio.

True Burner: It can burn standard, multi-session and bootable CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It's got a very simple user interface and not a whole lot of settings. It doesn't have a lot of advanced features like ImgBurn, but it gets the job done and it works well.

Note: If you try to directly burn MP4 to DVD or your DVD burner app has no function of converting MP4 to MPEG-2, DivX, you will fail to burn MP4 to DVD disc. If the MP4 is not on either a video CD or DVD, even if you have successfully burn MP4 to DVD without converting, you will still encounter issues in playing MP4 on DVD player: Regular standalone DVD players can only read movie DVDs (those are in MPEG-2, and if you view them in Windows Explorer, you see a folder structure with VIDEO_TS, and files like .VOB .IFO and .BUP). 

What's more, newer DVD players that are DivX-certified can (in addition to the above) read data DVDs with an AVI file encoded in the DivX codec. Most of the time, you will fail to play MP4 on DVD player unless the DVD players have the "Nero Digital" label on them.

Why sometimes we can't play MP4 files on iPhone (7/7 Plus)?

Unfortunately, MP4 is a container format which can store video, audio and subtitle data. Below are reasons why you encounter the issue "can't play MP4 on iPhone (7)".  

1. Video codec

If your MP4 files are using audio and video codec that iPhone cannot support or your MP4 files cannot meet the supported specifications of audio and video codec, your iPhone (7/7 Plus) will fail to play MP4 files. Even you download different iOS video player, they still fails to play. 

2. Video Size

Secondly, you can’t successfully or smoothly move your movies or videos in big size like 4K to iPhone (7), even the media files are in a iPhone playable MP4 format.

You should have MP4 files with the resolution or frame rate that are not supported by your iPhone. This happens especially for HD MP4 files, and iTunes is intelligent enough to protect your devices from destroying.
