Two Different Methods of Importing XAVC Footage into FCP

Summary: On Quora, there are so many people encountering or have ever encountered by importing XAVC footage to FCP for editing, here I would give some tips to those “sufferers”. 

XAVC related issues hlep may be something like below: 

I hope someone can help. We shot a multicam shoot using F55's and now when we are trying to import the XAVC Intra HD files into FCP we are getting an error that says that there may be no codec for FCP. Has anyone encountered this problem? 

There are two methods to handle the issues, the first one is free while the second will make your edit work easier form the day you get it on. 

Free first, download the XAVC plug-in from Sony support page, then import your XAVC files whether HD, up to 4K into Final Cut Pro for immediate, native editing without transcoding. However, the precondition is that your Mac should be powerful enough to deal with the huge footage of XAVC, Mac Pro or iMac which released after 2013 shall be excluded. 

The second and the best solution for the CANNOT trouble you faced is to try a third party app help you transcode the XAVC footage into the FCP supported or easy to recognized format, Apple ProRes 422/ LT/HQ/Proxy or ProRes 4444 may be the most compatible choices. 

Before I begin, let’s make it clear that it’s not just a production or technique testing article. I am a shutterbugs for over 7 years, I have ever encounter lots of cannot importing, editing, transferring issue just like what you have faced before. I am also have no idea about that before I turn to Quora for help. 

In Quora, there are really many and many good suggestions for improving your task or let you have some idea with your the task and let you get it finished finally. Here I wanna recommend you a professional XAVC video converterfor Mac(it named Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac in market, I like to call it XAVC Converter) to you which I got from Quora last winter, don’t hesitate to get this.

Back to question mentioned above, once you got the XAVC Converter, just install and run on your Mac. This software can convert XAVC to Apple ProRes 422 with best video and audio quality, besides. From my experiences, it runs faster than other’s products. Meanwhile, this XAVC Converter is able to convert various camcorder footage to compatible formats for iPad/iPhone, Android devices, as well iMovie, Adobe Premiere, FCE, Avid Media Composer, and so on. 

Oh, I almost forgot one thing cause I am a Mac user, the Windows Version, Pavtube HD Video Converter also available, it have the same ability of handling XAVC problem. Just select the right version, i’ll give the Mac version as example due to I am a Apple fans(smiled). 

  

Steps of Convert XAVC to Apple ProRes 422/ LT/HQ for FCP 

Step 1: click top left icons to load your XAVC video to XAVC Converter for Mac. You can load individual videos by clicking “add videos”, or load the entire folder by clicking “add from folder”. 

 

Step 2: From "Format" drop-down option, choose the output format according to your own preference, for FCP editing, select "Final Cut Pro" >"Apple Prores 422(*.mov)" / "Apple Prores 422(LT)(*.mov)" / "Apple Prores 422(HQ)(*.mov)" to output. 



Tips: If you want to stream your video clip to your Table or your phone so that you can enjoy them whenever and wherever you want, just choose the correct format your devices support. Or select brand name your device on the format list, such as Samsung, iPhone. Then you can enjoy the video without any quality drop or lagging. 

Step 3: Open "Profile Settings" window to adjust output video and audio parameter settings according to your own preference. For smooth workflow of XAVC video with FCP programs, you are recommended to downscale 4K XAVC video to 1080p from "Size(pix)" drop-down selection. 

 

Step 4: After all the setting is over, go back to the main interface and hit right-bottom "Convert" button to start XAVC video to FCP conversion process.

Best H.264 to Apple Prores 422 Converter with timecode




Q:
 I sought so much advice beforehand, and decided to convert my 80+ hours of H.264 documentary footage to ProRes to make the edit easier. I am using Tipard HD Video Converter for Mac, but it doesn't keep my timecode for FCP ? So I'm asking is it possible to get the best h.264 to apple prores 422 converter with timecode preserving? 


Nowadays more and more popular DSLR cameras and AVCHD camcorders has come out the record footage is often in H.264 codec. And a common sense is that the H.264 is not really an editing-friendly codec and that is the reason why we go from H.264 to Apple ProRes 422 and other less-compressive codecs. 


Apple ProRes is a line of intermediate codecs, which means they are intended for use during video editing, and not for practical end-user viewing. ProRes is a lossy video compression format developed by Apple Inc. for use in post production in Final Cut Pro 6 and later on versions (FCP 7 & FCP X). ProRes 422 is a DCT based intra-frame-only codec and is therefore simpler to decode than distribution oriented formats like H.264. 



To get H.264 video files work perfectly with Final Cut Pro, all you need to do is to convert the native footage from the H.264 to ProRes which is in higher quality and is less compressed. How do you convert H.264 to ProRes codec


Well, there are MANY ways to do this. You can use Final Cut Studio's Compressor software – I create droplets and drop my files onto them. It's good. But some of you may not own Final Cut Studio… Well I recommend you look into the utility that has quickly become my absolute favorite way of converting my footage: 

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac ($35) - an easy to use and user-friendly tool. 



It's also often faster than Compressor and is much cheaper. With it, you can transcode H.264 to a FCP compatible Prores .mov format on mac quickly and easily with retaining the timecode for FCP . Before converting, pls download and install the first-class HD Video Converter for Mac from Pavtube. 


Step-by-step guide to learn how to convert H.264 to Prores 422 for FCP with keeping timecode. 

Step 1. Download and install the H.264 to Prores 422 Converter with timecode on your Mac. Launch it and import your h.264 .mov/.mts/.mp4 clips into it. 
 




Step 2. Choose Apple Prores as output for FCP. 



Click on "Format", follow "Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" format for native importing and editing in FCP. 

 




Step 3. Click on Settings to adjust audio and video parameters including video size, video frame rate, bitrate, sample rate, audio channel. 

Step 4. Start transcoding h.264 to Prores 422 by clicking on "Convert" button. 

After the conversion is done, you can easily import h.264 footage into FCP X with retaining timecode. 

Refer to the picture below to see how this cool mac H.264 converting tool keep the timecode for FCP. It is not difficult to find that the timecode is kept.

As the new codec, H.265 is not friendly with Adobe Premiere ProAvid MC etc. Also, some changes you may need to do if you wanna enjoy H.265 movies on handle devices such as iPhone 6. What a pity is until now, these popular NELs still have no capacity of editing the H.265/HEVC codec. However, we also have the good news, some H.265 encoder/decoders can also make the job smoothly work well in Premiere Elements.

Step 2. Select the right output for Premiere Elements 
Open the output list through the ‘Format’ bar, then drop down the list. Nearly on the bottom of the list, choose the ‘Adobe Premier Pro/Sony Vegas’ item. Here, we can choose the ‘MOV’, ‘WMV’ or ‘MPG’ as our best.
