Q: Will there be Panasonic AVC-Intra LT debayer support in FCPX?

   So, I have a new Panasonic VariCam LT cinema camera.  FCPX imports AVC-Intra and 100 nicely.  However, in order to get the 240fps AVC-Intra LT CODEC recording into FCPX, it requires that the recording be debayered by software.  FCPX does not do this currently.  Only Avid and Grass Valley allow for this.

   Does anyone know if Apple will update FCPX to allow for native import of AVC-Intra LT?  If not, does someone have a good workflow solution to get this footage into FCPX?  I've looked at DaVinci Resolve, but I would like to see if there is a "cleaner" solution.

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    No one here knows what Apple will do. We are just users.

    Very good.  Do you know a better resource for a user like me to find this answer?

    You can't, plain and simple.  Apple does NOT share publicly in any way shape or form what they are developing with the pro apps.  There is simply no resource to tell you until it is released.  If someone does know, they're under a Non-Disclosuer Agreement from Apple, which is very strict, and gets enforced ferociously.  I know, I've signed a few.  No, you'll have to wait until the next update comes out.  That wouldn't be an FCPX supporter issue specifically, that's a Pro Video Formats update.
