The Nikon D7200 is a worthy successor to the D7100, which is a high performance, compact DSLR camera with high resolution photo and full HD video capability. As one of the hottest DSLRs in the market, the Nikon D7200 is great for us to take high quality images and record vivid full HD videos. If you are a D7200 user, you would encounter Nikon D7200 recorded H.264 MOV to FCP X importing issues. The unexpected crash, unsupported file format, no audio, and etc. happened.
The reason that you can't import Nikon D7200 MOV to FCP X for editing is simple: the Nikon DSLR uses the sophisticated H.264 compression method for recording video files to the camera's memory card. This is an ideal file type for video capture in an SLR camera, delivering relatively compact file sizes with image quality noticeably superior to alternate video compressions (such as Motion JPEG). However, the H.264 compression format requires that files be transcoded into a format better suited to editing, effects, and color grading; this would usually be Apple ProRes codec, which ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with FCP X. Actually, you need to do MOV to FCP X conversion.
