Import Canon EOS-1D C 4K MOV Videos to Final Cut Pro X/7/6 on Mac

Canon EOS-1D C Camera is a breakthrough in hybrid HDSLR technology–able to record stills, 4K and Full HD video, to either two on-board CF cards or uncompressed Full HD to outboard recorders. One of the largest benefits of having 4K video technology in a DSLR body is that it will be able to go places that other larger 4K cameras cannot, providing new ways of composing and capturing scenes. It is also compatible with the entire fleet of Canon EOS lenses already available, and perhaps already in your arsenal. If you’re looking for a powerful yet versatile rig that knows what a cinematographer wants and needs, then Canon answers the call with this impressive offering.

The EOS-1D C was built to shoot cinematic quality, in a compact and versatile EOS body. It is able to capture 4K (4096 x 2160), 24p (23.976) content directly to its on-board CF memory cards. It does this by using an 8-bit 4:2:2, high bit rate Motion JPEG compression scheme–allowing 4K content to be acquired in virtually any shooting environment, without an off-board external recorder.

When you got some 4K MOV files from Canon EOS-1D C, how to get 4K MOV footage to Final Cut Pro or other NLEs? Is Canon EOS-1D C 4K MOV files directly compatible with FCP? This article aims to outline a way to import Canon EOS-1D C 4K MOV to Final Cut Pro with smooth workflow.

Generally, we can use Log and Transfer or Log and Capture to import videos, images, ect to FCP for editing. But MOV video format is a long GOP format that is highly compressed and is not widely supported, including FCP 6/7 and even the latest FCP X. Since, Apple ProRes is the most compatible codec for FCP, so if we want to edit Canon EOS-1D C 4K MOV on Final Cut Pro, it is necessary to convert those already shot 4K MOV files to ProRes .mov using third-party software.
