H.265 & Sony Movie Studio: Trancode HEVC/H.265 for Editing in Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), I'd like to call it H.265, because it sounds cool. It's the new successor to Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also known as H.264. The idea of HEVC is to offer the same level of picture quality as AVC, but with better compression, so there's less data to deal with, It can support 4k resolutions up to 8192 x 4320, so some of the 4K footage encoded by H.265 codec.

It seems that it is not so friendly when you try to edit H.265 files in Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite. According to the Sony's official website, Sony Movie Studio can support MPEG-2, MPEG-4, QuickTime, MPG, WMV, XAVC S format but doesn’t provide any information about its codec. Owning to the high system requirements, it is very slow to import the H.265 video to Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite timeline playback and rendering.

So if you want to edit/play HEVC (H.265) videos on Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite smoothly and without rendering, you need to find a professional converter to transcode it first so that provides you an efficient way of converting H.265 to MPEG-2 to make it suitable for Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite.

In general, it provides hundreds of output format presets, besides MPEG-2 for Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum/Suite, it also provide DNxHD for Avid, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere, WMV for Windows Movie Maker, etc. Apart from H.265, this ideal converter is also available to deal with other video formats including MTS, MXF, MOV, XAVC, MKV, AVI .etc.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it, it is 100% clean and safe:

H.265 & FCP X: HEVC/H.265 to ProRes for FCP X on Mac

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, sometimes called H.265) is not new video compression format or people, and is the successor of H.264. It could offers 50-75% more compression efficiency compared to H.264 video, while retaining the same visual quality.

"I heard that Apple issued a new update support for H 265 codec for FCP X. But why my newly updated FCP X can not support H.265 videos? How can I open H.265 videos in FCP X without any issue? Is anyone here know the efficient workflow?"

Recently on the forums there are many users have encountered the HEVC H.265 to FCP X importing and editing programs, most of them can’t load recorded HEVC H.265 videos to Final Cut Pro X, and they don’t know the effective way to solve this issue.

As we know, not all the video formats are well supported by final cut pro X, from FCP X official product page you will know that the native supported format of FCP X is Apple ProRes codec MOV format, the other formats will not be natively supported by FCP X.

Just as showed above, in order to import HEVC/H.265 to FCP X, you will need to convert HEVC/H.265 to Apple ProRes codec MOV which is FCP X supported format. Pavtube Video Converter for Mac(best H.265 converter for Mac Review) has pre-set FCP X compatible format such as ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes Proxy, ProRes 422 LT, ProRes 4444, it able to provide most reliable and professional H.265 solutions to FCP X issues.

In general, it provides hundreds of output format presets, besides Apple ProRes for FCP, it also provide DNxHD for Avid, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere, AIC for iMovie .etc. Apart from H.265, this ideal converter is also available to deal with other video formats including MTS, MXF, MOV, XAVC, MKV, AVI .etc.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it:

The following two suggestions may be of some help to you:

When converting video to Final Cut Pro oriented format templates(e.g. Apple Prores), please ensure that your computer has Final Cut Pro installed, otherwise the converted files will have audio only without image.

If you are using FCP X, please make sure you have installed ProApps QuickTime Codecs, or you may get files with sound only without video.

How to Get H.265 Supported in Final Cut Pro X

Step 1: Add H.265 footage to the program.

Launch the software on your Mac computer, click "File" menu, select "Add Video/Audio" or "Add from folder" to import H.265 footage to the program.

Step 2: Choose output format.

Click "Format" bar, from its drop-down options, move your mouse to "Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" to select it as the output file format.

Read the difference of ProRes.

• Apple ProRes 422 – Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422 (LT);
• Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) – Keep original video quality for editing in FCP X;
• Apple ProRes 422 (LT) – Get a smaller file sizes than Apple ProRes 422;
• Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) – SD levels – 480i/p and 576i/p. Used in offline workflows.
• Apple ProRes 4444 – Edit and finish 4:4:4 material.

Actually, different Apple ProRes codec corresponds to different needs. Here you can refer to this article "Differences among Apple ProRes codec".

Step 3: Customize output ProRes parameters.

Open "Profile Settings" window to adjust the output video codec, size, bit rate, frame rate, audio codec, sample rate, bit rate and channels.

Step 4: Convert H.265 Video to FCP X.

Hit the convert button under the preview windows, the program will start H.265 footage to Apple ProRes MOV conversion for Final Cut Pro X.

When the conversion is completed, run FCP X and import the ProRes codec footage for post production workflow.

If you are running on Windows,for other windows NLEs please get Pavtube Video Converter.

Import/Edit H.264 Files to/in iMovie Smoothly

H.264

H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding (MPEG-4 AVC) is a video coding format that is currently one of the most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of video content.It is used in many places including Blu-Ray players, as well as videos streamed through sites like YouTube. It is also used in some TV broadcasts.

H.264 & iMovie incompatible issues

H.264 video streams can be contained in various containers such as MPEG-4 part 14 (.mp4), MOV, Matroska (.mkv), 3GP (.3gp), or Flash video (.flv).

So folks met the incompatible issue:

I shoot with a Canon EOS and its native video is on H.264 codec. I used to edit by importing the native H.264 footage into iMovie(11), but found trouble when it was really slow and didn't flow smoothly.

I was trying to bring a .mov file to iMovie 11, but the filename is greyed out in the finder window so I can't select it. According to the QuickTime inspector, the video was encoded in H.264. The problem I’m facing now is how can I import H.264 to iMovie for further editing without any hassle.

Why iMovie unfriendly with H.264

Will iMovie(iMovie 11) support H.264 codec? As far as I know H.264 is supposed to be a supported codec in iMovie. However, if aspect ratio and frame rate can’t fit iMovie editing, it will still reject your H.264 files. What’ more, H.264 is highly compressed. It is not designed as a format for editing. That's not where you want to start with editing for high quality results.

Solution: transcode H.264 to iMovie most compatible Apple InterMediate Codec

Luckily, you can get the H.264 format video recognized by iMovie (iMovie 11) easily. What you need is only a Mac video converter that can convert H.264 to iMovie most compatible Apple InterMediate Codec. It can ensure the best results when editing H.264 files in iMovie on your Mac.

Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (Top 8 iMovie Converter for Mac Review) is just what you need, which has optimized preset for iMovie. Enable you to transcode MP4 to AIC .mov for using in iMovie directly without any rendering or codec problems. Plus, it also allows you to convert MP4 to ProRes for FCP, DNxHD for Avid, etc editing with best results. It would be finished with only 3 clicks without losing video quality.

The trail-before-purchase is supported, just feel free to try it:

How to convert H.264 to Apple InterMediate Codec

1.Drag the H.264 files to the software. Or you can also click "Add" button to import video to the program. It supports batch conversion and joining multiple video clips into one file.

2.You can directly choose the preset iMovie/FCE --> Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC) (*.mov) as the output format.

3.Adjust the video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video&Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., by clicking the Settings button on the main interface for getting the best quality. 1080p/720p video size, 30fps frame rate, are the optimal settings for iMovie.

4. click on the Convert button to start transcoding H.264 to iMovie.

After the conversion, click "Open" to locate the result videos and then you can start fun away with editing H.264 footage in iMovie 08/09/11 without problems.

I/O Error.”As Avid MC CC documentation, there is supposedly no need to install any extra codec. Is that really the case?

Brief method if you would like to try
