| [size="4"]Wanna convert your 4k xavc files from Sony PXW-X500 to Avid MC without quality loss? You just need Brorsoft Video Converter that renders native codecs to ensure the best video quality for editing.[/size]
As well as the launch of their new FS7 camera, Sony have also unveiled the PXW-X500 ENG camera that updates the PMW-500 – the mainstay of many broadcast news stations. The PXW-X500 has a number of key features like a three-CCD sensor system capable of 120fps slow motion and XAVC recording. However, there are some problems such as not showing the video but audio only, unsupported file type when playing & editing [b]Sony PXW-X500 XAVC in Avid Media Composer[/b]. So, how to import Sony PXW-X500 video to Avid MC beautifully?
Well, according to our multiple testing, we found Avid does not like XAVC codec. Avid is very aggressively promoting AMA and most new/recent formats require it. Once installed, launch Avid Media Composer and you can import your Sony XAVC videos in usual. However, it’s a pity we still find that there are still some issues occurred from time to time during the importing and editing process. We find that with the plug-in, Avid still can’t ingest long footage.
Alternatively, a quick workaround is to use a transcoding app to prepare DNxHD files for Media Composer. Along with some help from [b]Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac[/b], it can be done effortlessly. Overall, the program is the best XAVC converter for Mac OS X(Yosemite, Mavericks). With this XAVC video converter, you can effortlessly transcode Sony PXW-X500 XAVC to DNxHD .mov, which will create an Avid MC friendly file format keeping the original quality. Besides Avid, this software can also export Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, Apple InterMediate Codec for iMovie, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro and more NLE systems for native editing. For Windows users, Video Converter is the alternative choice.
Here I share a simple guide on how to convert Sony PXW-X500 XAVC files for Avid Media Composer editing smoothly.
[b]Step 1: Add PXW-X500 footage[/b]
Install and launch the [b]XAVC to DNxHD Converter[/b] and load source clips to it.
[b]Step 2: Choose output format[/b]
Click Format on the main interface and choose Avid Media Composer > Avid DNxHD(*.mov) as output format. It ensures the best quality while working with the output files in Avid.
[b]Step 3: Advanced Profile Settings[/b]
In case the default settings do not fit your requirement, you can click “Settings” button and enter “Profile Settings” panel to adjust video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channels.
[b]Step 4: Start encoding XAVC videos[/b]
Click “Convert” button to start transcoding Sony PXW-X500 XAVC video to DNxHD for importing to Avid Media Composer.
When the conversion task is finished, click “Open” button to get the exported files and then import the converted PXW-X500 XAVC files into Avid Media Composer 4/5/6/7 to do further editing flawlessly.
[b]Editor’s Note:[/b] What we need to keep in mind that Avid MC can’t support 4K XAVC currently, so you will get an error if you try to import it. Plus, Avid does not have a 60p project format so you will most likely be working in a 60i (interlace) type project. To avoid these problems, it will be better to transcode Sony XAVC to a more "edit" friendly codec. Brorsoft’s Video Converter for Mac can be the great app to help you make it.
