ymotion Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi, I recently bought the alpha 7 mrk ii. I can shoot AVCHD but wanted to check the better encoder XAVC. I'm working with FCP 7. It does not recognize the file (although I can still play the file with QT - which is a bit strange for me. I guess I'm missing something here...). I searched online and found several external software that can convert XAVC to ProRes 422. Does anyone have tried one of these softwares? Since they are not free I'm a bit concern about the conversion. I've heard that conversion might lower the quality of the file. Thanks a lot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymotion Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi Ian, Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, the update for video formats mentioned in the link works only with XAVC-I but not with XAVC-S...I couldn't make FCP 7 understand XAVC-S files. If I'm missing something please let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacguy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I haven't worked with that format but, usually, it's best to convert to a minimally compressed format (rather than the AVC delivery format) prior to dropping the footage into FCP so constant re-rendering is avoided. Perhaps Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes would serve you better? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymotion Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks, themacguy I'm just trying to find a way how to do that :-) I found EditReady so far - it's one option to convert the footage to ProRes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
