Best quality from iPhone 4 was created by svber

Hi forum!

I was simply wondering how to get the best possible
quality from iPhone 4 footage in FCP X (render settings
and codecs, etc...)

Thanks!

I can't imagine how you could make it worse with FCP X. it's either going to be native H.264 or transcoded to ProRes422 so just import it straight from the iPhone and Bob's your uncle.

BTW I'm blown away by how good some of the footage off my phone looks.

Thanks for the quick reply! Think I will go with ProRes 422 then.

Indeed, the iPhone shoots great video, at least when the lighting
conditions are good enough. Try using Filmic Pro to achieve even
higher quality, and even custom frame rates.
