Built for speed, sensitivity, and precision, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is a powerful DSLR designed for sports, wildlife, and other trying and dynamic imaging applications. The 1D X III is capable of full-width internal 12-bit 4K RAW recording at 5,472 x 2,886 up to 60fps – though AF/E and tracking are only supported up to 30fps. In addition to a selection of 4K crops, it also supports 1080p video at up to 120fps with AF/E and tracking. Thus, here comes the problem that H.265 video format is hardly compatible with many NLEs, like Final Cut Pro X. In this page, we will offer a simple solution to edit Canon EOS-1D X Mark III H.265 footage in Final Cut Pro.
High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or also called H.265 is a new video codec that compresses video files to 50% with the most proficient encoding format today, MPEG-4, or also known as the H.264. The highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec is much more than a video format that Final Cut Pro can support. According to our own experience and other user’s feedback, to transfer Canon EOS-1D X Mark III footage to FCP, the best workaround here is to convert H.265 to ProRes, the most compatible video format for Final Cut Pro.
