Import Cinematic mode clips into Final Cut Pro for Mac
To edit Cinematic mode video in Final Cut Pro, you must import the Cinematic mode video clips using a method that preserves the depth and focus metadata created during recording on iPhone.
Import directly into Final Cut Pro from iPhone or Photos
Transfer using AirDrop, then import into Final Cut Pro
You can use AirDrop to transfer Cinematic mode video clips from your iPhone to your Mac.
In Photos on your iPhone, open a Cinematic mode clip, then tap the Share button
.
Tap Options at the top of the screen, turn on All Photos Data, then tap Done.
Tap AirDrop, then, in the Devices list, tap the Mac you want to transfer the clip to. (Make sure the Mac you’re sharing with has AirDrop turned on.)
For each Cinematic mode clip that you transfer using AirDrop, a folder containing four files appears on the receiving Mac.
In the folder, locate the MOV file that does not begin with “IMG_E,” then import it into Final Cut Pro.
