Below, we’ll discuss how to disable or get around the re-transcoding process that some
specific 3
rd
party applications employ.
NOTE: In some consumer-level applications, it is impossible to avoid the re-transcoding
process. In these situations, the GoPro CineForm workflow ends when you import your
GoPro CineForm files into those applications. However, you will be able to continue using
the workflow employed by that particular application.
Importing Into AVID Media Composer
When importing GoPro CineForm MOV files into AVID Media Composer, use the ‘Link to
AMA’ option in the Media Composer File menu. This will force Media Composer to import
the GoPro CineForm files as standard GoPro CineForm QuickTime files rather than re-
transcode them into AVID’s DNxHD format. GoPro CineForm AVI files are not supported
as of Media Composer 7.
Importing Into iMovie
When importing GoPro CineForm files into iMovie, uncheck the ‘Optimize video’ option in
the ‘Import Movies…’ dialog box. This will ensure that your GoPro CineForm files will not
be re-transcoded into Apple Intermediate files.
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.
