Q: Can Final Cut Pro x edit 4k video

I purchased a DJI Phantom 3 Professional which can shoot 4K video. But I am not satisfied with the "smoothness" of the material shot. So I wanted to know if anyone has tried to edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro x. And, specifically, has anyone loaded 4K video into Final Cut Pro X that was shot with the device I am using?

 

I am using a Mac Pro with 8GM of memory and the operating software version is 10.10.3,

 

Finally, what solutions should I consider for creating smoother video on this device.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

    FCP X works fine with 4K. And the Phantom, as far as I can tell, uses a standard H264 codec in an mp4 or mov container.

    You need a relatively powerful mac and a speedy drive. If your mac is not that powerful, you may need to work in proxy.
