2. Click on “Format” bar and follow “Final Cut Pro” template to set a FCP 6/7 friendly format.

For HD 1080p video files, you are advised to Follow “Final Cut Pro” template and “Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” format.



Tip: If you prefer smaller file size, choose “Apple ProRes 422 (LT) (*.mov)” instead. The “Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) (*.mov)” format offers file size at SD levels and is recommended for 480i/p and 576i/p shootings. The “Apple ProRes 4444(*.mov)” creates videos in lossless quality at huge file size, and is not recommended for home video making.
