The Yuneec Breeze is one of the intelligent drone we've ever seen. When you got a Yuneec Breeze and recorded some 4K videos with it, you may seek for a tutorial for the post workflow when dealing with Yuneec Breeze footage. Now I'm going to share a guide on how to import DJI Yuneec Breeze 4K to Final Cut Pro for further editing. If you are in the trouble getting Yuneec Breeze 4K video to FCP, just read on to get some tricks.

Based on my own exprience, we can't import Yuneec Breeze 4K videos to FCP directly due to the codec incompatibility. This article will offer you a quick solution to the issue.

As we know, Apple ProRes Codec is the best editing video codec for Final Cur Pro, so we can convert Yuneec Breeze 4K MP4 to Apple ProRes codec(1080p would be the best settings.), which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing. The following guide tells you how to convert Yuneec Breeze 4K MP4 to ProRes 422 codec for use in your FCP sequence.

Step 1. Download Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac

Overall, this program is a completely professional 4K video to FCP converter, player and editor. Unlike some free video converters, it provides hundreds of output format presets for 4K videos, such as Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), Apple ProRes 422 (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and Apple ProRes 4444 for Final Cut Pro, AIC MOV for FCE (Final Cut Express) and iMovie, MP4 for any mobile or PC video players, and more formats for better editing, playing, and burning. With it, you can transcode Yuneec Breeze 4K files to ProRes for FCP without hassle.

Step 2. Add video clips

Install the program on Mac and run it. Drag the 4K .mp4 files from Yuneec Breeze 4K to the software. It supports batch conversion and joining multiple video clips into one file.



Step 3. Choose ProRes as output format

Click the "Format" bar and select Final Cut Pro> Apple PreRes 422(*.mov) as output format.



Tip: Advanced Settings

You can click the "Settings" button and customize proper video/audio parameters if necessary. Video size, bitrate and fame rate are flexible and can be adjusted as you like. As far as I know Final Cut Pro 6/7 and even the Final Cut Pro X like many editors use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so for a long time. 1080p would be the best settings. Of course, if you wanna get a 4K workflow in FCP, you have keep the original video resolution.

Step 4. Start 4K video to ProRes conversion

Hit the convert button to start transcoding Yuneec Breeze 4K MP4 to ProRes on Mac OS X(macOS Sierra included). After the conversion, click Open to get the output videos. Create a project, make an event, drag the files to the event folder and start editing with light speed in FCP X or FCP 7.
