Convert Sony RX10 II 4K XAVC S to ProRes MOV for FCP X/7/6

Summary: How can I natively import and edit Sony RX10 II 4K XAVC S files with FCP X/7/6? This post presents a way of converting RX10 II 4K XAVC S to ProRes MOV for use in FCP X/7/6 with optimum performance.


Hot search: MOV to FCP | MXF to FCP | MP4 to FCP

With Sony RX10 II, you can enjoy high-precision 4K recording with minimised image distortion for super-real movies. The Pro-grade XAVC S codec ensures beautiful footage with high-bit-rate recording and full pixel readout without pixel binning achieves high-resolution results. 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?”

The new Retina MacBook Pro coming out of Apple also introduced a major new update for its NLE, Final Cut Pro X. This 10.1 update now including more 4K software and hardware support and also the ability to upload 4K videos directly to YouTube. However, the former version of Final Cut Pro like FCP 7 will lack the ability to play and edit 4K videos. As for XAVC S codec support, the previous version of FCP is not compatible with XAVC or XAVC S. Only the latest version - Final Cut Pro 10.1 (Final Cut Pro X) adds general QuickTime support for XAVC S.

Two ways to import Sony RX10 II 4K XAVC S to FCP X/7/6 for smoothly editing:

Method 1: Before importing Sony RX10 II 4K XAVC S to FCP X/7/6, verify that Pro Video Formats is installed on your system. Check for software updates and, if necessary, install the latest Pro Video Formats. This is a good way to import RX10 II video into the Final Cut Pro. But you will find that XAVC S format isn’t a good editing format for FCP during the editing process. You will cost you a lot of time on rendering, and you can’t preview the video well.

Method 2: Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review), a reliable application with customers around the world can be your ideal solution to solve RX10 II 4K XAVC S video transcoding and file compression problems. You can not only use the program to directly encode Sony RX10 II 4K XAVC S to Final Cut Pro optimized Apple ProRes formats, but also downscale the 4K video to 1080p for high quality and high performance editing in FCP 7 or its former version.

XDCAM EX BPAV to DaVinci Resolve Workflow

Summary: This article here introduces how to convert Sony BPAV MP4 footage to DNxHD MOV on Mac platform for use in DaVinci Resolve in detail with the relative smart third-party converter tool.


Hot search: Nikon D7200 H.264 MOV to DaVinci Resolve | Canon XC10 XF-AVC MXF to DaVinci Resolve | Samsung NX1 H.265 to DaVinci Resolve

“Hi, there, somebody provided me a BPAV of a remote shoot, and to cut a long story short, the structure didn’t make the translation, and trying to download individual elements was becoming a nightmare. The biggest problem is DaVinci Resolve will not open the MP4 files from the BPAV folder. Is there any other way of rewrapping XDCAM EX BPAV .mp4 files to DaVinci Resolve supported .mov similarly to the way XDCAM Transfer does, but without needing the folder structure?”

To be able to work with BPAV files in DaVinci Resolve smoothly, you should not change the name of the BPAV folder and you should never change any of its contents–doing either will lead to all kinds of problems.

When the transfer is not working, you need a BPAV transfer tool to convert XDCAM clips from BPAV to DNxHD MOV for DaVinci Resolve. What is really important is to never alter the contents of a BPAV folder in any way as you back it up to whatever machine to keep whole XDCAM Folder structure. The BPAV folder can be moved from your MacBook to the MacPro where you can then do your editing. To edit them in DaVinci Resolve, you can use professional XDCAM EX to convert BPAV folder directly to DNxHD MOV at once with Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review).
