Yesterday I learned that if you want to edit a custom format e.g. cinematic/spatial video in final cut, you have to be very specific about how you import it. I typically AirDrop them from the phone, but I couldn't figure out how to pull up the cinematic editor.

Apple's documentation is shit, and the only reason I figured it out is because ChatGPT sent me to a Reddit thread where someone linked to a Ripple Training video from 3-4yrs ago that had a small section about this. (1/2)

TLDR: you have to flip a switch in the options of the AirDrop menu, and then the video comes over in a folder, and the version of the file name with the E before the number has your cinematic moves baked in, whereas the other one is editable on import. Alternatively, you import directly from the Photos app, or by navigating to the photos in the import menu in FCP.
