“I am looking for a Fujifilm video converter for Mac to convert some video taken with my Fujifilm X100T camera for use in iMovie on my iMac. I could not use them directly. I found plenty of software options doing a google search for video converters, but none of them could do what I wanted with very good quality. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot.”
If you are shooting with a new Fujifilm X100T camera, you may have import issues while editing them in Apple iMovie. That’s because the X100T use H.264 compressed MOV format to store video files. The H.264 is a highly compressed format suitable for capture and delivery, but not quite proper for editing. To make X100T MOV files more compatible with iMovie, convert them first!
Considering the ease of use, optimized output for iMovie, Video Converter for Mac is a great choice. Read a user review on Video Converter for Mac:
“I cannot express how happy I am about purchasing your video converter. It has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. It enables me to convert my Fujifilm X100T 1080p videos at 60p in a way no other software can. The edit feature is one of the most valuable functions of the software. It enables me to just take the clips that I want, without having to convert the entire file. Not only does it make the conversion process simpler, but the converted files are big and crisp. I will definitely recommend this product to other filmmakers and editors. I am so satisfied with it!” – Martin
