When I import GoPro Hero 4K footage to Sony Vegas Pro, they play choppy and really slow, sometimes Sony Vegas Pro couldn’t recognize them, let alone for editing. I’m seeking for the solution to the GoPro to Sony Vegas Pro importing & editing issues.”

A little searching turns up the solution. Actually, Sony Vegas Pro has no ingest transcoder, nor timeline rendering. What does this mean? Since we were using footage from a GoPro Hero camera (notorious among the editing community for stuttering due to its high compression), we had to use another program to transcode the footage into a usable format. You can refer to detailed Sony Vegas Pro supported formats below:

Since Sony Vegas Pro might not work with some GoPro Hero 4K videos due to the codec issue, to get rid of the trouble, we need to convert GoPro Hero 4K footage to Sony Vegas Pro preferred codec and then transfer the converted videos to Sony Vegas Pro for editing. To achieve the goal, you can use Pavtube Video Converter, the best app that can help you convert 4K video to Sony Vegas Pro compatible video format with original quality.

Most consumers are happy with the C100 Mark II for its new design and performance upgrades, but for some reason people may run into unexpected incompatibility issues while editing C100 Mark II AVCHD footage on Mac through iMovie or FCE. “As a Mac lover and user I appreciate iMovie and would use it to edit footage downloaded from a Canon C100 Mark II digital video camera. My problem is that, my colleague shot video files in both MP4 mode and AVCHD mode. I have no problem with MP4 recordings, but have issues while using C100 Mark II AVCHD footage in iMovie, especially files at 60p (59.94 fps). They are very buggy. Do I need to convert these files to another format or how do I import them to iMovie so I can edit them flawlessly? Can anyone give me some suggestions if you are using a similar (or same) Canon video camera? Video specs are 1920*1080, 28 Mbps at 59.94p and 1920 *1080, 24 Mbps at 23.98p. Many thanks in advance.”

In fact, AVCHD is a high compressed codec and it’s not a good editing format for many video editing software, including iMovie. iMovie and FCE are pretty picky about the video they use, and they cannot handle 60p AVCHD files well. If you want to bring in 60p AVCHD clips that you’ve got from Canon C100 Mark II, you need to first convert AVCHD to Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) MOV, a format that is full compatible with iMovie/FCE on your Mac.

Some main formats that iMovie supported are allowed below:

It’s clearly that AIC is iMovie’s favorite editing codec, which iMovie will read and handle well. In this way, you can expect a fast and fluid workflow between C100 Mark II AVCHD and iMovie. The process is surprisingly easy and can be done with the help of Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac. By running it, there's no need to set the codec by yourself; the Mac program has optimized presets for iMovie. Besides, the program is developed with some useful editing features, including merging several clips into one for easy importing, downsizing the files for editing and storage, adding text/image/video to original files, adding subtitles, replacing original audio tracks, etc.
