"Dear all, I'm a novice on video editing and planning to improve my home editing ability. I've got FCP X and was hoping to use Full HD 1080p h.264 video recording from my Ricoh GR. It will run, but makes the whole program move slowly. I don’t know enough about transcoding, so I'm wondering if it is possible to convert this type of footage to a file type that will run more smoothly in FCPX. I know how to render footage in the timeline, but what I want is for all of the footage, pre-editing, to run smoothly. Is there a way to achieve this? And, if the footage is just completely incompatible, what would be the best converter to use that would be guaranteed to work well? Thanks so much!"
As far as we know, the Ricoh GR camera is able to shoot Full HD video in widescreen 1920×1080 resolution with efficient, high quality h.264 compression at 30 frames per second. The H.264 is not a codec or format that is suitable for editing within FCP X or some other editing programs, like iMovie, Final Cut Express and FCP. To make Ricoh GR H.264 footage work smoothly with FCP X, you can try out HD Video Converter for Mac and convert Ricoh GR H.264 videos to Apple ProRes for FCP X.
