Follow this guide to learn how to import Phantom 4 Pro H.265 clips to Final Cut Pro X without hassle on Mac OS X (macOS Sierra included). 



Q: Hello, was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to work with the H265 files from the Phantom 4 Pro in FCP X? They come up all black with no image. Any help is appreciated.

In DJI forum, I found some guys have issues when importing Phantom 4 Pro H.265 to Final Cut Pro X. It seems that FCP X can't import Phantom 4 Pro H.265 footage. Looks like transcoding Phantom 4 Pro H.265 to ProRes is the current workflow for FCP X.

There are several converters out there. The one that I've used in by Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac. They have a trial you can download to check it out. Workflow is pretty straight forward. This program features high efficiency and seamless conversion. With it, you can effortlessly convert Phantom 4 Pro 4K H.265 video to ProRes encoded MOV files - ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with FCP X, FCP 7. In additon, the program can also help you transcode H.265 files to Apple Intermediate Codec, DNxHD, MPEG-2, AVI, WMV, FLV, etc. for smoothly editing or playback with iMovie, Avid, Adobe Premiere, etc.
