A number of Samsung NX1 users found the importing window got stuck when they are trying to edit H.265 recordings taken by this camera in FCP X on Mac El Capitan. From Samsung Official Website, we can know about the specs of Samsung NX1, your H.265 recordings from Samsung NX1 works for 4K videos, in other words, the resolution of these H.265 recordings is Ultra HD 4K(4096 x 2160). The reason of the stuck importing window is the resolution of your Mac Screen is lower than 4096 x 2160, so Mac doesn’t have the ability to process NX1 H.265 recordings smoothly.
In order to edit Samsung NX1 H.265 recordings in FCP X smoothly, we need to decode these files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ which FCP X is able to support perfectly. After several test, I recommend a top-rated H.265 converter for you -Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac. This program features high efficiency and seamless conversion. With it, you can effortlessly convert Samsung NX1 H.265 videos to Apple ProRes 422 HQ codec.

Steps of Decoding Samsung NX1 H.265 Videos to ProRes 422 HQ for FCP X
Step 1. Add H.265 files to the program
First of all, connect Samsung NX1 to your Mac, transfer H.265 videos from NX1 to Mac disk.
Launch the H.265 to FCP X Converter; click “Add” button from main menu to browse your computer hard drive and select H.265 files you want to convert. Or you can easily drag-and-drop H.265 files into this app.
Step 2. Choose the preset output format - Apple ProRes 422 HQ
Click format column, and you are advised to choose Final Cut Pro -> Apple ProRes 422 HQ (*.mov), this format is native editing format for FCP X and you won’t have any importing or editing issue with this format.
Step 3. Change output resolution parameters.
Click "Settings" to open “Profile Settings” window. For best experience in FCP X, we suggest to change “Size(pix)” of your H.265 videos to 1080P(1920*1080). Other parameters like bitrate, channels, and frame rate are also adjustable.
Step 4. Start decoding H.265 files.
Hit the big red "Convert" button on the UI, then you can start decoding Samsung NX1 H.265 files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ. Click "Open" button, you will see your converted H.265 videos.
Notes:
1. When converting MXF footage using Final Cut Pro oriented format templates(e.g. Apple Prores), please ensure that your computer has Final Cut Pro installed, otherwise the converted files will have audio only without image.
2. If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs, or you may get files with sound only without video.
Step 5. Import converted H.265 files to FCP X.
After all is done, you are able to import and edit Samsung NX1 H.265 Videos in FCP without any problem. Open Final Cut Pro X, head to the menu bar and click File > Import, then "Files". A small window will appear and allow you to browse converted H.265 files on your Mac to load them.
