Last week, I borrowed the the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 for some outdoor shooting from my friend, I am very pleased with the powerful 4K video shooting functions, However, it does not work very well when I import the 4K AVCHD files into FCP for some editing. I can’t Edit DMC-GH4 in FCP directly. So how can I smoothly import Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 AVCHD footage to FCP? Thanks!
