‘You know, it is cool that Olympus Stylus SH-2 is equipped with Advanced Movie Modes for powerful video recording functions, including Full HD 1080p captured at up to 60 frames per second for smooth motion playback of fast action footage. I always use it to record some exciting moments in order to share them online with many net friends. Unfortunately, it would be a little hard for us to edit them in FCP X due to the limited video codec you know.’
I have met the similar questions before, I shot the recordings also encoded by MOV from my Nikon D5500, while for editing D5500 MOV in FCP X, something wrong happened as usual.
