Read this article to know how to import and edit Panasonic Lumix LX10 4K footage in iMovie flawlessly. 



Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LX10 offers outstanding performance through the use of a 20.1MP High Sensitivity MOS Sensor that can deliver sharp stills, UHD 4K video, and more.  When you got a LX10 and recorded some videos by it, you may like editing the 4K videos on Mac. Of course, iMovie is one of your best choice. But, we can't import Panasonic LX10 4K videos to iMovie directly due to the high resolution and codec incompatibility.

As we know, Apple InterMediate Codec is the best editing video codec for iMovie, so we can convert Panasonic LX10 4K MP4 to AIC(1080p would be the best settings.), which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing. The following guide tells you how to convert Panasonic LX10 4K to iMovie for smooth workflow.

Step 1. Download Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac

Overall, this program is a completely professional 4K video to iMovie converter, player and editor. Unlike some free video converters, it provides hundreds of output format presets for 4K videos, such as AIC MOV for FCE (Final Cut Express) and iMovie, Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422(HQ), Apple ProRes 422 (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and Apple ProRes 4444 for Final Cut Pro, MP4 for any mobile or PC video players, and more formats for better editing, playing, and burning.

Tip: Advanced Settings

As far as I know iMovie like many editors use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so for a long time. 1080p would be the best settings. Of course, if you wanna get a 4K workflow in iMovie, you have keep the original video resolution.
