“I have purchased many Blu-ray movies in the past several years, now I need to use some clips of the Blu-ray movies in Final Cut Pro with my recordings, can you tell me how to transfer my Blu-ray clips into FCP? What software do I need? Thanks!”
Having advanced and powerful editing features and released by Apple Inc., Final Cut Pro is definitely the best tool for personalized videos or movies editing on Mac. Various video sources can be imported into Final Cut Pro for editing, such as sources from cameras, drives, network locations, and camera archives. However, the Final Cut Pro only accepts DV, HDV, P2 MXF (DVCProHD), XDCAM, and 2K film formats and does not support Blu-ray importing. On this case, in order to ensure your Blu-ray clips work well with Final Cut Pro, you're highly suggested to rip and convert Blu-ray to Final Cut Pro supported video formats initially.
To finish the task, a Blu-ray ripping application is needed. Here Brorsoft Ripper for Mac(El Capitan compatible) will be a great help. With it, you can fast rip and convert Blu-ray movies to ProRes encoded MOV, which ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with FCP X/7/6. Besides FCP, the program can also help you rip Blu-ray/DVD for use in any editing application including Adobe Premiere, Avid, iMovie, Final Cut Express, etc. without quality loss. Now download this program and follow the guide below to complete your task.
