You can capture astounding super-real movies with cinematic detail and clarity surpassing human vision.
Q1: “I want to buy Sony RX10 II. It can shoot video with AVCHD but wanted to check the better encoder XAVC S. I’m working with FCP 7 and it does not recognize the XAVC S file (although I can still play the file with QT – a bit strange. I guess I’m missing something here.)”
Q2: “I want to import SonyRX10 II footage to FCP 6. Is it possible to work with 4K XAVC S files in FCP 6 natively and how to do?”
