Canon EOS M50 is a compact interchangeable lens camera for aspiring photographers looking for an easy way to boost the quality of their photos and videos. With clear, high-resolution 4K UHD 24p video, you can capture the incredible details and cinematic moments of your life at home or wherever your adventures take you. While enjoying the stunning HD image quality, many folks are having problems when importing Canon EOS M50 4K files to iMovie. If you're in such a situation, just go through this article, which mainly shows you how to get the Canon M50 4K MP4 footage and iMovie to work beautifully.
Why you can't successful ingest the recorded 4K footage from Canon EOS M50 to iMovie? Actually, the reason is simple. The H.264 encoded MP4 video is not supported well by iMovie. All-in-one video solution to solve the incompatible issue is to use third-party software to transcode the footage from the EOS M50 to a more editing-friendly format, such a iMovie AIC codec.
I tried a few converters that didn't work... Compressor of course didn't work, Wondersoft Video Converter Ultimate my usual goto converter didn't work... it converted audio but not video. The one that worked for me is Acrok Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. The program can easily import and convert Canon EOS M50 4K MP4 to AIC encoded MOV files which seamlessly fit iMovie and Final Cut Express.
Transcoding Canon EOS M50 4K video to iMovie
Step 1. Load Canon M50 footage
Launch the program and click "Add Files" button to import the Canon EOS M50 MP4 files to the Mac 4K Video Converter. Batch conversion is supported.
Step 2. Specify output format
Click on the "Format" bar and get the dropdown menu, then move your pointer to choose "iMovie and Final Cut Express > iMovie AIC Video (*.mov)" as the output format.
Tip: Click "Settings" button if you'd like to customize advanced audio and video parameters like Video Codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, Audio codec, sample rate, audio channels. Generally, 1080p is the optimal settings for iMovie editing, so you can downscale 4K to 1080p. Of course, if you want to stick with the original 4K resolution, just keep the orignal video size.
Step 3. Start the conversion
Click the "Convert" icon under the preview window, and the Mac 4K video converter will start transcoding Canon EOS M50 footage to ProresAIC MOV for iMovie on Mac.
After the conversion, click the "Open" button to locate converted files, then load .mov files in iMovie. Now you can successfully and easily import Canon EOS M50 4K files to iMovie for editing with best quality.
