For whatever reason if you have problems importing Canon VIXIA GX10 4K UHD Camcorder .mp4 files into iMovie for further editing, we would suggest making new Apple ProRes QuickTime media that is FCP X friendly before you start post production. "Hey folks, I've had trouble with Canon VIXIA GX10 4K video in iMovie. iMovie hung several times trying to import all that media at once (leaving in location, not copying to the stupid library secret archive). I've broken it down into chunks to import, and some folders are fine, but the MP4 clips don't look promising (loooong progress bars of Processing Files for Import that don't seem to progress). It seems to me that iMovie just can't handle any volume of 4K files. Can anyone think of any alternative workflows, or anything I'm missing before I toss it in trash? Actually, this is my first iMovie project. I would really appreciate any help."
