Have you tried running it through X2Pro?

[Erik Lindahl] “I also think the word on the street nVidia wasn’t interested in a custom GPU for the MacPro-class machine.”
The cards were designed by Apple, the chips made by AMD are the same as they are in the PC cards AFAIK.

[Michael Hancock] “But this is also because Apple decided to redesign the MacPro so you couldn’t swap out the graphics cards when new ones came on the market that were considerably better (like the handful of cards nVidia has released). So their inability to update with any significant leap forward is entirely of their own design.”
So far eGPU support on Sierra seems very promising. I chalk this gap up to a lot of moving parts weren’t there yet like thunderbolt 3.
AMD’s OpenCL implementation is much stronger and since their software uses that over nvidia’s proprietary CUDA it makes sense that they would shy away from that the same way they did with flash.
CUDA was reverse engineered recently showing that it actually runs well on an AMD GPU. This proves to me what I’ve suspected for a while which is “CUDA is just mumbo jumbo tech to keep people locked into nvidia cards”.
However if they don’t release a GPU update kit for the 2013 mac pros with the new AMD chips I will be very disappointed.

[Joe Marler] “People on Premiere can always go to Windows. For FCPX they are stuck with Apple, so in that sense an updated nMP is vitally important. “
Agreed, but a Mac Pro refresh of any significance has only really been possible since April as that’s when all the new GPUs came out that were a large enough leap forward.
All the chipmakers are slowing down cycles by a big margin.

They may not have imported all the way from the camera cards. Try importing the footage again and see if that fixes it.

It’s… Possible?

This points to the trend as to why localized computing power will become less important sooner than later and portability will be of more importance than sheer rendering capability.

[Jeremy Garchow] “If fcpx isn’t importing the footage are you sure this is XAVC footage instead of 4K Sony raw?”
That was what I was thinking after I hit post. It’s probably the case.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Drag and drop”
If you want it rewrapped, it’s the import window.
