However, when you attempt to import Nikon COOLPIX L840 videos to Final Cut Pro 7 or FCP X for some editing, you may encountered many problems, like import it slowly, and couldn't edit videos smoothly. The reason that you can't edit Nikon COOLPIX L840 .mov files in FCP 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 Final Cut Pro 7 or FCP X.
