To output higher quality video, it is ideal for you to output "Apple Prores 422(*.mov)" or "Apple Prores 422(HQ)(*.mov)" format. To output small size video, choose Apple Prores 422(LT)(*.mov) or Apple Prores 422(Proxy)(*.mov) format.



Step 3: Customize output video and audio settings.

Open "Profile Settings" window to adjust output video and audio parameter settings according to your own preference. For smooth workflow of Samsung NX500 video with FCP 6/7, you are recommended to downscale 4K to 1080p Prores from "Size(pix)" drop-down selection.

When the conversion is completed, launch FCP, go to "File" > "Import" > "Media" to add the converted prores files to FCP for further professional editing. You do not need to check "Create Optimized Media" or "Create Proxy Media" option since we already converted the media to ProRes which means Final Cut Pro X can use the footage without "optimizing" it. Checking this box would create a redundant and time consuming second transcode of your footage.

Handbrake

Handbrake is hailed as one of the most favored free DVD video converters running on both Mac and windows, capable of handling pretty much anything you throw at it and repackaging it into the most useful formats MP4 and MKV. Like MacX Video Converter Pro, there are also other amazing options available for you to touch up your video, like add subtitles to video, change the video codec type, set and customize frame rate, etc. But the maze-like settings often drive you to find a specific Handbrake tutorial in video converting . Anyway, its open source brings Handbrake superiority.

Note: Handbrake only supports converting videos to MP4 and MKV formats and its latest version 0.9.9 doesn't get along well with Mavericks. For people who are eager to convert video to other format like MOV, FLV, AVI, WMV, etc, you are advisable to find a Handbrake alternative for Mavericks to do the video conversion.



Prism Video Converter

Prism Video Converter is the most expensive software converter on the list, but it is still joined in our top pick in reviewing the best video converter for Mac 2014. It can be a relief especially for those new beginners who are easily confused by the complex settings that flood some other Mac video converters. The disappointing thing is that Prism Video Converter doesn't offer as much format support as other software like MacX Video Converter Pro does. And it's a little slow in our video conversion test, with the same audio video sync problem as Handbrake often does. But given the results, if you value quality and easiness over speed and price, you can give the video converter for Mac a try.
