How about working them with Final Cut Pro?

As we all know that the XAVC S format record by Sony UHD camcoders is mainly designed to deliver 4K video signals with a resolution of 3840x2160, it is not an the native video editing codec for Final Cut Pro. To fix the workflow of XAVC S with FCP, sony has created a special plug-in for Mac which helps to provide support for XAVC S in FCP allowing viewing and editing capability. However, most people complain that the process to install plug in is very complicated, more worse, the plug-in some times don't even work at all.

How to Edit AVCHD Files Effortlessly

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. Developed jointly by Sony and Panasonic, the format was introduced in 2006 primarily for use in high definition consumer camcorders. And AVCHD files generally use extensions like MTS and M2TS, and can not be accepted by many meida players and devices.

By using AVCHD format, you can burn high definition video to a standard DVD disc. Later you can play that DVD disc in a Blu-ray disc player. Thus you don't have to own a Blu-ray disc burner to enjoy high definition video on Blu-ray disc player. AVCHD video can also be outputted to TV via an HDMI cable or components outputs. It can also be transferred and viewed to computer. Whereas, most people prefer editing the AVCHD before sharing or uploading to the social network. So the best way to get full use of the AVCHD is to convert the file to other format like: MPEG, MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, etc. After that you are able to play the AVCHD file on iPhone X, iPad, Galaxy S9, Xbox One, and editing in iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, etc.

To edit AVCHD effortlessly, you can convert AVCHD to MPEG for Premiere, Sony Vegas editing. If you are Mac users, you also can choose to output "Apple InterMediate Codec(AIC)(*.mov)", "Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" for iMovie/FCP postproduction.

Since you can adjust the video bitrate and resolution, you can make the output AVCHD video more compatible with your devices. With the built-in video editor, you can merge multiple AVCHD files into a single one file and you also can trim the AVCHD file to cut off the unwanted part. You also can add external subtitles to the AVCHD file to make the file easier to understand.

Top 5 Best 4K Camera Phone You Should Know

More and more often you can see 4K technology everywhere. More and more devices, monitor add support of 4K playback, 4K enables people to pursue the extremely audiovisual enjoyment. Nowadays, you can even shot video in 4K resolution with the smart phone in your hand. The following article will give you top 5 best 4K camera phones for you.

1. Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

In terms of photography, Sony is one of those respected names in the industry. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium has everything you want when paying top dollar for a phone, with its 4K display and slow motion camera two standout party pieces. It will please Sony fans around the world. The camera has an amazing feature that we loved: it is able to record slo-mo video at only 980 frames per second. With this kind of camera, you can even film a nature documentary because it will catch all the details. However, we also need to tell you this up-front: you do need a good light.

2. Huawei P10

Huawei P10

The Huawei P10 comes with one front camera with 8Mp and two back cameras: one with 12MP and another one with 20MP. Just like it already happened with the previous Huawei models, you can use the 20MP one to take black-and-white photos. However, when you use both rear cameras, your photos will have a better clarity. Although the Huawei P10 comes with the feature that allows you to shoot 4K videos, the fact is that it doesn't offer any stabilization when you're recording at this resolution. As if this wasn't enough, if you use Windows, you won't be able to open them by using Windows's 10 Photos app, VLC, and you won't even be able to upload it directly to YouTube. 

3. Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung Galaxy S9

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone, but one that hasn't really kicked on from the Galaxy S8, bringing a very similar design and screen to 2017's version. The improved biometrics were sorely needed, and the camera is a leap forward, but the amazing low light capabilities have resulted in sacrifices elsewhere. Samsung Galaxy S9 comes with a front camera with 8Mp and a rear camera with 12Mp. In case you're serious about shooting 4K videos, you need to know that the sound quality is not the best in the market and that you might have a few problems with the hybrid stabilization system. 

4. iPhone X

iphone x

iPhone X comes with a 7Mp camera in the front and 2 back cameras, both with 12Mp. Losing the home button and altering the design was a dangerous move, but one that was sorely needed after years of similarity and the premium design, extra power, all-screen front mix together to create - by far - the best iPhone Apple's ever made. It's impossible to give a perfect score to something that costs this much - but this is the closest to smartphone perfection Apple has ever got. iPhone X allows you to shot 4K videos at 24/30/60 fps steadily. What's bad is that it is the most expensive flagship phone around.

5. MOTO Z2 Play

MOTO Z2 Play

Featuring a 5MP camera on the front and a 12Mp camera on the back, we can say that the photos taken with the MOTO Z2 Play are among average. While the rear camera includes phase detection autofocus, dual-pixel autofocus, laser autofocus, and a dual-tone LED flash, this should imply that low light photos would have an awesome quality. In what concerns video capabilities, the MOTO Z2 Play allows you to shoot using Full-HD or 4K. Although the videos could be a lot better, they are quite ok. Besides, one of the things that you can easily do is to use the Go Live mode and go live directly on YouTube.

Unlike Facebook, Instagram is trying to protect its users from copyright violations. However, not being able to download the videos and photos you posted to Instagram can be a problem if you lost the original files or if you just want to create a backup of your Instagram posts.

Insta-downloader.net is a website that enables you to download photos and videos from Instagram, while it also provides the option to download all images featured on an Instagram account. You just have to copy the URL of a photo or Instagram profile and click the Download button.

2. Upload photos and videos from your computer

The Instagram app can't be installed on a computer, while the upload feature is not available on Instagram profiles when viewed from a computer-based web browser. As social media managers and professional photographers know working with large amounts of images is much easier from a computer than it is from a Smartphone. In case you would like to post images to Instagram directly from your computer you can use an emulator like BlueStacks that will allow you to connect your Android device with a computer, and post your photos and videos to Instagram directly from a PC.

3. Check out all your liked posts

If you want to be inspired for your brand, a good way is to check the profiles of people who liked your post? You can actually see the 300 recently liked photos which can be useful to see what captures your audience's attention.

Compress Video Smaller for Facebook Uploading

Thanks to Facebook social website, we can connect with our friends and the world closely. Over 4 billion video views happen to Facebook everyday. And users would like to tell rich stories with Facebook video, not only in the timeline, but also in business ads, and covers. During Facebook uploading process, you may meet some unknow factors that stop you uploading the videos to this social website. Nowadays, people prefer capturing videos with iPhone, GoPro, DJI drones, Sony/Panasonic/Canon camcoders you need to compress or convert footage to Facebook supported video format before uploading. This article makes it clear on Facebook video uopload specs and how to compress video smaller for Facebook without video quality loss.

Know Facebook Supported File Formats Well

When sharing video on Facebook, you may be recommended to use the MP4 and MOV format, in fact, you also can use the 3g2, 3gp, 3gpp, asf, avi, dat, divx, dv, f4v, flv, m2ts, m4v, mkv, mod, mov, mp4, mpe, mpeg, mpg, mts, nsv, ogm, ogv, qt, tod, ts, vob, wmv which are all supported by Facebbok, except the video format, Facebook limits the video parameters, like the video codec, video frame, video bitrate, audio channels, vudeo size, video length, etc. You must make sure your video is accepted by Facebook.

Video Profile Settings

Codec

The best format to upload to Facebook is H.264 video with AAC audio in MP4 or MOV format. It currently gives you a great bang for your buck in the file size to relative quality ratio, offering the best video compression available, and due to the file size limitations, this format is the optimal choice for Facebook video. And there's no need to change the parameter during Facebook uploading.

Resolution

Use a file with the larger edge of the video constrained to1280px. If your video is less than 1280px in size on the larger edge, try to keep your dimensions to multiples of 16px for best compression.

Frame Rate

Usually videos have the best quality if the frame rate is between 25-30 fps. So you are recommended to keep the frame rate of your video at or below30fps.

Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of the video must be within the range of9x16 to 16x9which most videos should have, and the video exceeding the file size or length that the upload page suggests will be rejected.

Bitrate

There is no recommendation for Bitrate as it highly rests upon codec. So you are suggested to optimize video for resolution, aspect ratio and frame rate rather than bitrate.
Audio Profile Settings
Codec MP3 is preferred
Samping Rate Use stereo audio with a sample rate of 44,100hz.
Channels The number of audio channels will be maintained for stereo and mono streams. 5.1-channel audio will be down-mixed to stereo. All other channel configurations are currently unsupported.

Other tips for Facebook video uploading

  1. Keep in mind that the maximum length for a video is 120 minutes and the maximum file size is 4.0 GB.
  2. Check that you're using the latest version of your browser.
  3. Uploading a video works best when you have a strong network connection.
