livebythem Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hey all, I am having this frustrating problem. I'm new to video so maybe its something simple I am missing. I am filming in XAVC-S, 60p 50M. But when I open the files on my macbook, I am only seeing mp4 files. I am trying to get them to premiere pro. Googling around, I can’t really find a clear answer. Some are saying the mp4 files are a container for the xvac files, is that true? If it is true, why is there also an option for MP4 (how can it be both?) and do I need to do anything to those files to get that high quality video out of it? It just seems like the video quality of those mp4 files is really poor. Its not sharp and I’m shooting with good zeiss glad with plenty of light. Here is how my folder hierarchy is. MPROOT >100ANV01 (empty) PRIVATE Has 3 folders: AVCHD (its not a folder but a file that is labeled as “AVCHD Collection”) - 620bytes. When I click “show package contents”, something called BDMV appears and when I “show package contents” again, I get 3 folders (CLIPPING, PLAYLIST, STREAM) that are empty and then two .BDM files M4ROOT (has the mp4s and thumbnails) SONY (empty) I'm pretty baffled. I'm missing something for sure. Thanks in advanced for your help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilsburypie Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm no expert but I think your internet research is right about mp4 being the container. Check it by looking at the file in Mediainfo. That will tell you the file bitrate and you can then deduce from there. It will also probably tell you it is XAVC s or not.
