Some Mac users will probably convert or compress 1080P MOV into a readable format using editing software like Final Cut Pro on Mac. But sometime you can't import the HD footage into FCP X for editing smoothly. In this case, how can we handle Nikon D3300 files on Mac?
The Nikon D3300's Expeed 4 branded processor is responsible for many of its gains over the previous model, the D3200. This model gets an upgrade to 1080/60p video recording, an extra frame per second in burst mode, and a higher ISO range up to 12800. The Nikon D3300 is a powerful compact digicam, capturing videos in 1080P HD with a separate video recording button that keeps the camera always ready to record. With D3300 you are allowed to shoot HD videos in H.264 MOV files, and would like to upload the D3300 files to your PC, and put it into video editing programs like Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6), iMovie, Premiere Pro CS6 for editing. However, most video editing programs does not recognize the Nikon D3300 footage, and that's why we need to convert H.264 MOV to editable formats before editing.
