Issues editing JVC GY-HC550 4K MOV/MP4 in FCP X
“I have a JVC GY-HC550 which I among other things use to shoot video. The format options are either MP4 or MOV. The higher 4K quality option is MPEG-4. Everything looks smooth and great on the camera’s LCD but when I try to edit the 4K footage in FCP X (10.0.8 ) it’s like the framerate drops a lot and the editing process is unstable and unreliable. I really don’t know what causes this issue. Would really appreciate if someone could clear this up for me.”
