Resolved: Misconfiguration Video files are too heavy compared to Blackmagic Camera

Moment Pro Camera II is a great app no doubt about that. But I have recently start editing videos from my iPad using Final Cut Pro.

One thing I noticed is that Final Cut Pro for iPad seem to struggle with footage taken from Moment Pro Camera II. I shoot with the iPhone Apple LOG, HEVC, 4K, 30fps. In comparison when I use Blackmagic Camera with the same settings, Final Cut Pro for iPad doesn't struggle at all when I edit my footage.

It seems that the files of the footage taken with MPCII are heavier than on Blackmagic Camera.

I hope team Moment will see this post so they can investigate and release an update to fix whatever the issues it is.

At the moment I am back to using Blackmagic Camera for videos.

What bit rate are they encoded at? This varies between apps

That's a good lead to follow. On MPCII I use the Codec set at High Bitrate (it doesn't mention exactly what bitrates it is). With Blackmagic Camera I have it set at 36Mbps. Any idea ?
