You’ve graduated from your cheap beginner drone, and you want to try something new. Something that can shoot beautiful video from the sky—but doesn’t cost $1,000+ like a camera-equipped DJI Phantom. You spot the $500 Parrot Bebop Drone, and pull the trigger. It’s kind of fun, you think, between strings of obscenities.
Perhaps you have know some detail of the Parrot Bebop Drone. It can capture video at 1080p full-HD resolution; the AR.Drone 2.0 is limited to 720p. Video is recorded to the Bebop's 8GB of internal storage (there's no microSD or SD card slot) in MP4 format. The reason why you are failed to import or cannot edit parrot bebop drone video in FCP X smoothly is that the mp4 format is not a friendly editing format but a container format. For FCP X, the best compatible format is Apple ProRes, if you want to edit the Parrot Bebop Drone video in FCP X smoothly, you just need to change the original video format into Apple ProRes

Pavtube Video Converter for Mac(read the review) are highly recommended here, which helps to output Final Cut Pro native editable Apple ProRes MOV codec from Parrot Bebop Drone for further professional editing on Mac OS X. If your computer is old or slow, or you just want to do some rough editing, you can select to output "Apple Prores Proxy)(*.mov)"or "Apple Prores (LT)(*.mov)"format to save more space and bandwidth. However, if your computer are powerful enough to handle multicam and high-resolution video and you are going to do many effects editing work with FCP X, you'd better choose to output "Apple Prores 422(*.mov)"or "Apple Prores 422(HQ)(*.mov)"for better performance.
By the way, if your are a one hundred percent Windows user, please turn to Pavtube Video Converter. It has the same ability as Mac version.
