Totally agree- this is the Panasonic prosumer camera that everyone is interested more in these days…

Well this is the FCPX forum- sooo. I’ve cut GH4 footage in FCPX- it’s rock solid for me. Especially if you have decent system specs.

I don’t have that camera so I can’t say for sure. Does its archive not show up at all in the Import window for FCPX?

Hmm- that camera shoots H.264 doesn’t it? Should it be importable directly into X?

What kind of hard drive is it playing off of? That’s a pretty heavy data rate. Also the data rate sounds odd- few cameras today record at 44.1. 48 is the norm. Perhaps you need to re-import the footage.

In that case I’d recommend spending more of your budget on a higher end Mac Pro, such as the 8 or 12 core loaded up with RAM and less on the storage. You’d get by fine with a Thunderbolt G-RAID and not the beefier Enterprise class solutions on the page you linked to which are better suited to multiple streams at higher data rates and resolutions than 1080p/H.264.
You need transcoding/processing speed for H.264 more than fast storage as you’re only dealing with a single stream of relatively low data date. Also, the more beefy the Mac Pro you get now, the longer it will last you as formats increase and system requirements raise over the years. (Shameless plug: the company I work with, FCPWORKS has these sorts of turnkey systems in stock with FCPX workflow consultation included. If you’re interested in putting together a system ready to roll, drop me a line through the link in my signature below).

And would it be multiple streams- i.e. multicam events with 2 or more cameras or single camera shot-to-shot continuity editing?
