Tutorial: Get Sony HDR-AS100V XAVC S/MP4 into Avid Media Composer

In order to have smooth work with the Sony HDR-AS100V XAVC S footage. In this article, I will list specifics about a workflow of AS100V 50Mbps XAVC S codec through Avid Media Composer. What’s more would like to introduce you’re a professional XAVC S video converter to help you get out of the trouble in importing HDR-AS100V XAVC S/MP4 recordings to Avid Media Composer for further editing.


Attractive features of Sony HDR-AS100V camera:

Sony's Action Cam HDR-AS100V lets you shoot in rain or snow without using the bundled (and relatively bulky) waterproof case. Professional shooters can take advantage of new time-code support when editing XAVC S footage with Vegas Pro, making it easy to merge clips from the Action Cam with content from a variety of other cameras. While with the output footage encode by XAVC S and MP4 format, do you know the difference? 

What a pity that XAVC S files cannot be suitable for most NLEs:

According to the introduction above, if you wanna edit your AS100V XAVC files in FCPSony Vegas, etc or convert XAVC S to other common videos for other usage, some issues you will meet during the process there. Cause the XAVC-S format differs from XAVC in that it uses GOP codec of H.264/AVC for video file compression; it’s not an ideal editable format for NLE based on many users’ experience.
