Panasonic AG-CX350 FCP X | Importing 4K MOV from AG-CX350 to FCP X

"Last week I shot some video on a Panasonic AG-CX350 camcorder and imported the clips into FCP X. I shot more footage this week, but when I try to import the clips they are not showing up in the import window (bottom half of window). What I now see is .mov "greyed out" and the only media available to import are a few jpg images on the camera. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks for your help."

Play 4K MKV on Vizio Smart TV from USB port

Best workaround to play any MKV videos on Vizio Smart TV from USB by convert MKV to Vizio Smart TV preset profile formats. "Does anyone know what should be done for this particular Smart TV brand to play MKV videos correctly? What happens is that the TV can't either read the file or when it does the images are kind of distorted with poor audio. I did a Google search and someone was saying that the USB drive from which the TV is reading the files from needs to be formatted to FAT32 otherwise they won't work? Is this the real reason? Am I missing something else. Ultimately I can get an HDMI cable and playing the files from laptop to TV, but I wait first for the non-cable option. Cheers!"
