If you are considering a new Canon camera, Canon EOS Rebel T6s or EOS Rebel T6i should be on your list. The EOS Rebel T6s camera is equipped with the very latest Canon proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which makes several important advancements to image quality both in photos and video.
Using technologies designed for professionals and refined for simplicity, the EOS Rebel T6s camera makes gorgeous, polished Full HD videos at the press of a button. Video recording in MP4 format provides better compatibility with mobile devices and tablets. Highly compressed MP4 video not only preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on mobile devices. Well, no matter you’re using or going to have EOS Rebel T6s/T6i, you may wanna know the compatibility of the EOS Rebel MP4 and FCP X. In this page, I will give you the answer.

Final Cut Pro will work with some MP4 files, but not all. The problem is that they are not the same, which may contain different video/codec and various video frame rates. The MP4 footage from EOS Rebel T6s/T6i seems not to be an ideal editing format for FCP X. What’s more, editing EOS Rebel T6s 1080P MP4 in FCP X is extremely hardware intensive. It’s not so easy to work with EOS Rebel clips in FCP X. In this case, you can try converting the 1080P files with some third-party software like Acrok HD Video Converter (It’s the app I’m using.).
