Tips for Getting Sony A7R II Media (4K XAVC S/AVCHD/MP4) into FCP 7/FCP X

The easy workaround to import Sony A7R II XAVC S files in Final Cut Pro is to convert/transcode XAVC S to FCP 7/X friendly format such as Apple ProRes.

Like the Sony A7S before it, the A7R II is able to capture ultra-high-resolution 4K video (3840 x 2160), however, unlike the "S" model, it can record 4K video internally to the memory card (or via HDMI with an uncompressed 4:2:2 8-bit signal, as well). The A7R II makes use of Sony's higher bitrate XAVC S file format, which supports 4K bitrates up to 100Mbps. Full HD and 720p video recording is also offered in XAVC S format at 50Mbps (AVCHD and MP4 formats are also available for these resolutions).

XAVC S with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec is much more than a video format that FCP can support. According to our own experience and other user's feedback, to transfer Sony A7R II XAVC S footage to Final Cut Pro, the best workaround here is to convert XAVC S to Apple ProRes, the most compatible video format for FCP (no matter FCP X, FCP 7 or FCP 6).



Here we highly recommend Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac to all of you which not only can deal with heavy XAVC S files to Final Cut Pro affordable video format, but also supplies other powerful video codecs for NLEs, such as MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5/CS4, DNxHD for Avid, AIC for iMovie and so on. Moreover, this ideal converting tool is equipped with basic editing functions including trimming, cropping, adding watermark, removing audio and more. If you are a PC user, then please turn to Brorosft Video Converter Windows version.
