Then I’d go back to the original card and re-ingest… could be a bad card.

Hmm- not in so many words. What are you trying to do? You could solo the selection and then everything else would ‘disappear’ for example. Or you could select all and then Command Select the on clip you didn’t want to be selected- that would essentially have the same effect as an ‘inverse select.’

Also make sure you’re running the latest OS (10.9.4 as of this writing). If you don’t see the current 10.1.3 version of FCPX as an available update in the Mac App Store that could be the reason.

Yeah I’d go new Mac Pro- it’s light years ahead with the (dual) graphics card. Even a top end 2014 iMac doesn’t really come close for GPU heavy tasks like well pretty much everything FCPX and Resolve do…

Whether transcoding is even necessary in FCPX depends on your system specs. If it’s an older system with slower drives, you’ll want to switch to proxy for editing or even go ahead and transcode to ProRes. The good news is that this is done very easily and you can start cutting the native while the transcodes happen in the background.
It’s a breeze compared to what this workflow was like 7. Of course you do have the learning curve of going from 7 to X but lots of resources are out there to help you make the leap.

Most cameras that shoot both MP4 and AVCHD reserve the higher bitrates for AVCHD. Although it does seem counterintuitive that the MP4 is the one recommended for ‘extensive editing’. I imagine that’s one of those camera manual mis-transliterations.

I find it’s a remarkably clean signal as long as you light properly. If you have a slow lens indoors and pump up the ISO it quickly becomes grainy as heck. But that’s nothing to do specifically with 4K or this camera or FCPX. They work together quite well assuming well shot footage.

Oh yeah that’s one of those cameras that requires a 3rd party app: https://www.transfermyvideofiles.com/import-fz200-1080p60-avchd-to-fcpx/
Any chance you could upgrade? A Panasonic GH4 for example would make your life 10X easier…
