Description: Having difficulty in importing Blu-ray in Final Cut Pro? This detailed guide will show you the reason and how to convert Blu-ray files to ProRes 422 HQ/LT for FCP smooth editing. Commercial Blu-rays bring extraordinary video quality to us for family watching and sharing for the large amount of content that can be stored. It's a great fun if you have a pretty large Blu-ray collection, or movie collection. However, what if you want to have the digital copies of these movies saved on your hard drive or personal server? Not everyone would like to take a stack of the blu-ray discs with himself. Also some of us may like to not only get the digital copies of blu-rays, but also edit Blu-rays in nonlinear editing programs such as FCP.
Due to video codec issue, Blu-ray file is not supported by FCP. In order to edit Blu-ray files in FCP, you need a professional Blu-ray to FCP converter to transcode Blu-ray to Apple Prores MOV for FCP. Choosing an ideal one to do ripping is important. Or you many have issues below:
"I recently purchased a software to allow me to import my blu ray discs into Final Cut Pro. However, the software is having trouble with a number of discs. Star Wars Clone Wars series 1 and 2. The software only recognises the bonus content, and is not able to recognise the main disc content. However, series 3, 4 and 5 work fine with the software. I then tried series 1 and 2 discs with MakeMKV and that particular software recognised the full content, therefore it's not a problem with my hardware. Are there known issues with some discs and the blu ray ripper? Thanks"

2. Choose video format for FCP.
Click "Format" menu to go through the dropdown list. There is a preset "Final Cut Pro". Hit it to choose "Apple ProRes 422(LT) (*.mov)" for output.

Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy)
Or you can choose Final Cut Pro -> Apple ProRes 422(HQ) (*.mov) as best video format for editing in Final Cut Pro as well as good video quality.

Target data rate of approximately 220 Mbps (1920 x 1080 at 60i)
Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422
