The article shows you the best way to import Sony FDR-AX100 XAVC S and AVCHD fotoage into FCP X, FCP 7 or Final Cut Pro 6 or for smooth editing.
The Handycam AX100 uses a newly-developed ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens with 12x optical zoom that's been fine-tuned for 4K shooting. Definition is 'finespun' into the corner of the frame, thanks to the 11 group/17 element lens that incorporates AA (advanced aspherical) and ED lens elements. In another 4K Handycam first, Dual Video Recording lets you simultaneously record high quality movie clips and ready-to-share MP4 files. You can capture movies in XAVC S (at up to 4K/60 Mbps or HD/50Mbps) or AVCHD formats
While searching for solutions to import and editing Sony FDR-AX100 4K MP4 in Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6), some guys present a practical way. The basic reason why we can't get Final Cut Pro work with Sony FDR-AX100 videos is that the XAVC S encoded MP4 and AVCHD encoded MTS files from AX100 are not acceptable by Final Cut Pro . Since FCP (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6) is designed to work best with ProRes 422 and ProRes 4444 codec, the easy workaround supplied here is to use a 3rd-party software to convert Sony FDR-AX100 XAVC S/AVCHD to ProRes codec for FCP X, FCP 7 and FCP 6. Acrok HD Video Converter for Mac is the App I use now which is highly recommended by some professional forums.
