MXF & After Effects CS6 Workflow: Can After Effects CS6 Support MXF Files?

Can After Effects CS6 Support MXF Files?

Since After Effects CS4, MXF is supported by AE. However, MXF is a container format, After Effects can only import some kinds of data contained within MXF files. Many users still have troubles when importing MXF to After Effects (including After Effects CS6). What’s available workaround to successfully edit MXF files in After Effects without any issue?



MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. As MXF container is not so widely accepted as MP4, AVI, and WMV format, it is unacceptable to many editing software. HD digital camcorders’ video like Canon C300, Canon XF100, Canon XF105, Sony XDCAM series and Panasonic P2 series still can not natively or directly imported to Adobe After Effects CS6.

How to Make After Effects CS6 Support MXF Files?

In that case, MXF is not a proper format for editing. You can definitely convert MXF files to Adobe After Effects CS6 codec with the native quality before importing. And video formats supported by After Effects CS6 include MPEG-2, WMV (VC-1), etc.

Here I highly recommend Pavtube MXF Converter.

The result is that there will be no audio in the output video. Make sure that the whole MXF file structure is transferred before converting.

Support for XAVC-S in FCPX

“I recently got myself a Sony A7s (great little camera!) that shoots in XAVC-S.
However, most of the time the XAVC-S files don't show up when choosing Import in FCP X.
Any way to make the XAVC-S files show up in the import window?”

Based around the XAVC S codec, a more highly compressed (Long GOP) version of pro-friendly XAVC/H.264 Level 5.2, videos are encoded in an MP4 wrapper, which means they should be relatively widely supported.

Although Final Cut Pro X with stunning features is a popular video editing software for users, the compatibility between 4K videos and Final Cut Pro X is still an unsolved mystery in that some XAVC-S videos can be imported into FCP X, while the some XAVC-S videos can not. 

To import and edit XAVC S files in FCP X, you will need to do some preparation before editing. The easy workaround I’ve worked out is to find a way to transcode Sony XAVC S to FCP X editable Prores codec in 1080p. Such as ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes Proxy, ProRes 422 LT, ProRes 4444 video.>> Types of Apple ProRes Codecs 

Therefore, the easy workaround is, get Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (Best XAVC/XAVC S Video Converter for Mac Review) to convert XAVC S to ProRes, which will save you both time and trouble, and all you need is to drag the result videos for prompt editing.

Plus, you may also encode XAVC S to Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie and more NLE programs highly compatible formats for smooth editing. Besides, it might help you change XAVC to other frequent formats like MOV, MKV, MP4, AVI, etc for playback on media devices.

Based on the investigation result, KMPlayer and VLC stand out from the crowd. Why these two media players can tower above their rivals? Which one is the best video music player for you? Here I compare KMPlayer with VLC in all significant directions with a desire to shed some light on these two most popular video players.

KMP VS VLC Media Player: What Are the Trumps of KMP and VLC?

KMPlayer

After getting the common features of KMPlayer and VLC, perhaps you can't wait to know what the unique features KMPlayer and VLC have. Maybe that's the key to decide which media player is your cup of tea. Primarily, KMPlayer outshines VLC concerning its rare 3D format playback function, which allows you to experience the amazing 3D home cinema world with a low CPU Memory share and an optimized, stable playback supported by GPU. More thoughtfully, you can enjoy the wonderful 3D contents without downloading any 3D Movie Plus Apps.

In addition, KMPlayer also has an ace in the hole coming soon. That's Cloud KMP designed for you to easily and conveniently manage the media library files that were edited in the album art. Currently this new feature is being developed on an urgent basis. It's convincible that it's coming around the corner and will make your edited files be synchronized at anytime anywhere.

VLC

Speaking of VL video player highlights, it's mentionable that VLC beats others hands down in its powerful knack to play the video content of incomplete, unfinished, or damaged video downloads before the files have been fully downloaded. And even confronted with some damaged video, it can hassle-free skip the error part and continue to smoothly play back the video with clear image provided.

Another shining point rests with VLC interior advanced tech supports which is superior to KMPlayer with no doubt. Take the system resource they needs for instance, it's tested that generally VLC for Android can save up to 80% system resource compared with KMP when they are playing the same video file. In such case, VLC is seemingly much more effective and energy-efficent.

Comparison Between KMPlayer and VLC

Both KMPlayer and Video Lan player are the widely used free video players available. They have many sides on common and also host certain unique features. Now let's get close to them and learn more about KMP and VLC.

KMPlayer VS VLC: Which Media Player Be Better in File Formats Compatibility?

Compatible with a glut of file formats is what makes these two multimedia players inconceivably acclaimed. First off, KMPlayer, (also known as KMP or K-multimedia player), is an open source media player capable to play back a myriad of video and audio formats, including DVDs, VCDs, MP4, MPEG, MOV, FLV, AVI, 3GP, MKV,WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG and RA on Windows without worrying about any codec thanks to its own internal codec aids.

Having said that, compared with VLC, it's seemingly that VLC has the edge here. You see, VLC, full name of VLC media player, is also a 100% free media player for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux users to play back even more video and audio formats. Beyond friendly with the above mentioned file formats K-multimedia player supports, VLC also allows the users to play back M4V, MTS, OGM, M2P, XVID, 3G2, MOD, AAC, M3U, MID file formats, as well as playback 8K, 4K UHD, 3D, Blu Ray videos. Hence, in terms of this aspect, the Android media player alternative to KMplayer is seemingly more compatible than KMP.

Tips:  Supposing you have a yen for playing back the camcorder video like AVCHD, TS, M2TS, TOD or other common video, H.264, VOB, RM, WebM, to name a few with KMP or VLC media player, then you need to convert these videos to KMP and VLC acceptable file formats with the top all-in-one video converter-Pavtube Video Converter, which empowers you to convert any video to MP4, MOV, FLV, AVI, MKV, etc. KMP and VLC recognizable formats.
