GoPro has finally released their newest action camera the GoPro Hero 5! With 2 new model Hero5 Black and Hero5 Session. For video capture, the Hero 5 retains the same specs as the Hero 4, although it's not repurposing the same chipset. It can shoot up to 4K at 30 frames per second and Full HD 1080p at 120 fps (max bit rate is 60Mbps). Though 4K MP4 generated from Hero 5 is well compatible with some of Mac software like QuickTime player, iTunes, etc. However, when it comes to importing the GoPro Hero 5 4K MP4 videos to FCP 7 for editing, it is a painful experience to Hero 5 owners. 
In fact, H.264 MP4 is an ideal file type for video capture in an SLR camera, delivering relatively compact file sizes with image quality noticeably superior to alternate video compressions (such as Motion JPEG). However, the H.264 compression format requires that files be transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color grading.Worse still, learn from Apple official site, though FCP X has been updated to provide unprecedented performance when editing and monitoring 4K video. Final Cut Pro X natively supports 4K ProRes, Sony XAVC and REDCODE RAW, the old version FCP X or Final Cut Pro 6/7 like many editors use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so for a long time. If you want to have a smooth 4K MP4 from GoPro Hero 5 and FCP workflow, you are advised to convert Hero 5 4K video to Apple Prores Codec MOV, which is natively compatible with Final Cut Pro.In this case, Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is best choice to get the work done. Overall, this program is a completely professional Mac 4K video converter, player and editor.
