“Hi all, I have a GoPro Hero 7 and it records in 240fps mode uses HEVC h.265 which I like since file sizes are a lot smaller. However, I had so much trouble working with the footage because Apple Final Cut Pro X refused importing Hero 7 HEVC files at all. I would love to find a simple solution. Something like an easy software update or video decoder upgrade??? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.”

Will we have to transcode GoPro Hero7 4K MP4 into another codec to be able to work in FCP X/7/6? GoPro HEVC h.265 MP4 file type is a compressed output format and not an ideal editing format. What’s more, it also would be a bit hard to handle 4K video with Final Cut Pro 7. To edit Hero7 footage in FCP X/7/6 smoothly, a suggestion is to use UFUWare Video Converter for Mac to transcode GoPro Hero7 MP4 to ProRes, which is a friendly format supported by FCP.
