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.
