Importing Into Final Cut Pro X

When using GoPro CineForm files in Final Cut X project, set the following options in the

Final Cut Pro X Preferences:

• In the 'Import Media…’ panel, uncheck the 'Create optimized media' option.

• In the 'Playback' panel, uncheck the 'Background render' option.

This will ensure that your GoPro CineForm files will not be re-transcoded to Apple

Intermediate files.

NOTE: Other applications may require you to perform similar steps to allow your GoPro

CineForm files to import normally. Please refer to those applications’ own manuals for

specific instructions on how to do so.

Switching Between GoPro Studio and Other

Applications

While using your GoPro CineForm files in other applications, at any time, you can switch

focus back to GoPro Studio’s EDIT Room and apply further adjustments to refine the look

of your clips. Then switch back to the 3

party application to see your clips immediately

updated with the new look.

Disabling Timeline Frame Caching

Some non-linear editing applications use what is called ‘frame-caching’ to improve

playback performance. When frame-caching is employed, the Active Metadata

adjustments made in GoPro Studio may not appear right away when you play back the

file in the 3

party application. This is because the 3

party application doesn’t realize

that the file has changed and therefore plays its frames from the cache rather than re-

decoding the source file. To get around this, you can do any or all of the following:

• Disable frame caching (if possible)

• Clear the cache (if possible)

• Play or scrub through the timeline to flush the cache.

• Change timeline resolution (this clears the cache in Adobe Premiere Pro)
