I have a Go Pro Hero 3+ Black, and I bought is for Home use primarily, but do DVDs for friends and school. Now after shooting some mp4 scenes about family and kayaking water sports etc from my Gopro. It seems that Final Cut Pro does not support any content in the folder/disk. So I plan to convert Go Pro footage to Final cut pro for editing with best quality footage. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
The GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition Camera is 20% smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the HERO3. It also features faster built-in Wi-Fi than the HERO3.

The camera supports both NTSC and PAL video systems, and it can record up to 120 frames per second (fps) when shooting in 720p mode. For still images, the HERO3+ supports up to 12MP photos with a burst rate of up to 30 fps.
