For Mac users, you may wish to load the Canon EOS 6D Mark II to FCP X for some professional post editing workflow, the following will show you how to get the smooth workflow of Canon EOS 6D Mark II with FCP X.

Can FCP X native support Canon EOS 6D Mark II HD video?

From FCP X supported file formats, we can see that you can native import Canon EOS 6D Mark II MOV or MP4 H.264 file into FCP X. However, it is well known that H.264 is a good delivery file format, but not a good editing format. If you try to directly edit H.264 in FCP X, you will start to lose image quality as you do color correction or composite gradients to create greenscreen keys. If you wish to achieve a high quality and high performance workflow of Canon EOS 6D Mark II video with FCP X, we highly recommend you to transcode H.264 to Apple Prores codec, which render faster and have more room, so you can create great looking effects without losing any quality.
