Start Workflow from Sony A7s 50p/100p XAVC S to FCP 7

Summary: Do you have any good solutions to the problems of importing Sony A7s XAVC S files to FCP 7 for nice editing? If not, why not be a good reader to follow the article below to know more details? This guide can teach you how to convert your Sony XAVC S to ProRes for smoothly editing in FCP 7.


“Hi, anyone worked with media from the Sony A7S camera? Especially convert XAVC S 100p/50p files to Apple ProRes because the few times I tried the resulting file does not match the original file, that the file should slow motion (100p/50p) but became normal 25fps not slow-motion (I use HD video converter Acrok) Is there a workflow solution for me to do the settings file XAVC S especially for 100p / 50p to Apple ProRes?”

The sensor of Sony A7S is big, the 35mm sensor with large pixels is good for high ISO and dynamic range, 12.2MP sensor optimized for 4K and low light video recording, with this excellent device you can get uncompressed 4:2:2 full HD in XAVC S format. While for some popular editing tools, you will find the XAVC S is not supported for popular editing apps, Final Cut Pro is such a typical one. So what's the available workflow for Sony A7S and FCP?

XAVC S, which as the newest one, if you are a professional video editor or photographer, it is not so widely supported for editing tools. Except for FCP 7, such as Premiere ProAvid, Sony Vegas, etc. Today here, in order to match the XAVC S recordings to FCP 7 well, we highly recommend you a XAVC S to FCP 7 Converter called Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review), which has the ability of handling HD videos with all popular editors or media players nicely.
