The way to Import Samsung NX500 H.265/HEVC to Final Cut Pro



H.265, also known as HEVC, is a new video compression standard, adopted by lots of 4K cameras including Samsung NX500. 4K, famous as 4096 x 2160 Resolution, has four times the number of pixels compared to 1920 x 1080 Resolution. Though Samsung NX500 H.265 video has the Ultra HD quality, editing the H.265/HEVC in Final Cut Pro is not an easy stuff. Many Samsung NX500 users feedback that FCP crashed when they were trying to import H.265/4K footage in Final Cut Pro. And it becomes an universal problem.

The reason to the problem is the resolution of your Mac computer is much lower than 4096 x 2160, it means GPU of your Mac doesn’t have the ability to process the H.265 editing work in Final Cut Pro. For importing and editing Samsung NX500 H.265 videos in Final Cut Pro smoothly, we’d better downgrade the Resolution of Samsung NX500 H.265 videos to 1920 x 1080, and transcode H.265 codec to Apple ProRes codec which is the most suitable codec for Final Cut Pro. 

Tips:
If you want to know more about Apple ProRes, please check Types of Apple ProRes Codecs, Apple ProRes Info & Tips,Apple ProRes Specifications.

Here I’m going to recommend a professional third-party program to assist you to finish the H.265 to Apple ProRes conversion. With the help of Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, the NX500 H.265/HEVC to Apple ProRes conversion task can be much easier.

Notes:
1. When converting H.265/HEVC 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.
