At first glance, the SJCAM SJ4000 Action camera resembles the look and feel similar to a GoPro camera. Many available action cameras on the market have taken a cue in design and form from GoPro cameras and this camera is no different. In fact, many of the GoPro accessories and attachments work with this camera. 

The camera has very good picture quality during the day and average picture quality at night. Some owners complain of a bluish tinge in the videos but this does not effect every camera. The SJ4000 records 1080p at 30f/s with an average bit rate of approximately 15,000kpbs.

Well, SJCAM Original SJ4000 recordings are in H.264 codec MOV format. It’s ideal for video recording but not ideal for editing in FCP. We all know that Final Cut Pro can natively deal with MOV files, but the MOV is compressed with Apple ProRes (all versions), H.264 codec is not friendly to FCP, so FCP cannot open the SJCAM SJ4000 MOV files. For those incompatible H.264 MOV files, we’ll need to convert SJ4000 H.264 MOV to FCP compatible Apple ProRes MOV format. 

The program Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review) will get you out of trouble. It is good at encoding camera shootings in different formats (H.264 MOV, MTS/M2TS, MXF, etc.) to video editing software compatible file types, i.e. ProRes for FCPAIC for iMoive, MPEG-2 for Premiere and DNxHD for Avid Media Composer, making the experience of importing and editing SJCAM SJ4000 files in Final Cut Pro as fast and seamless as possible.
