Workflow Samsung NX1 4K H.265 to Sony Movie Studio 13

Summary: In order to make the Samsung NX1 4K H.265 recordings friendly with Sony Movie Studio, this following article can offer you some effective ways. 

Hello guys! It's not a bad idea if you are enjoying the 4K recordings with your Samsung NX1 camera! Cause this kind of 4K camera has shot the footage encoded by H.265 codec, which is the newest codec standard that not be fully spread in this video codec area. So editing your NX1 4K H.265 recordings to Sony Movie Studio 13 must trouble you a lot, right? 

 

Comparing with the H.264, what advantages can H.265 bring to us? 
In general, H.265 has several big advantages over H.264, including better compression, delicate image and bandwidth saving. Small size, higher quality, that's the highlight h.265 codec brings to us. For more detailed differences, please read H.265 vs H.264 comparison table. 

 

Efficient way of converting H.265 to MPG to make it suitable for Sony Movie Studio 13. 
Among all available H.265 video converters in the market, not all video converting tools can hold the new H.265 codec videos well. Fortunately, the famous Pavtube Studio has claimed that their upgraded versionhas claimed the Pavtube Video Converter(version 4.8.2.0) can support the H.265 codec well. Let's get more details on how to work it well: 

  

How to Convert Samsung NX1 H.265 videos for working with Sony Movie Studio 13? 

Step 1. Load your NX1 H.265 recordings. 

Download, install and launch the NX1 H.265 Video Converter and open the main interface, normally, we can click the 'Add video' and 'Add from folder' to add the source recordings. Of course we can also drag the files in this program. Batch conversion is also available. 

 

Step 2.Choose suitable output for Sony Movie Studio 13 

Then we are going to come to the top important step, select the best output one for Sony Movie Studio 13. Tap the 'Format' bar on left of the preview window, drop down the output list, nearly on the bottom of the list, we suggest to find the 'Adobe Premiere Pro/Sony Vegas'>>'MPEG-2 (*,mpg)' as the best. Also, MOV and WMV you can have a try. 

 

Tips: Encode other videos to H.265? Let me show you the way. Choose the 'HD Video' on the output list, could you see the 'H.265 HD Video (*.mp4)' there. That's what you want. What I need to mention you is H.265 codec on one hand brings the higher quality and smaller size, on the other hand, it also need much more time to wait for the conversion result. 

Step 3. Optional function for advanced users 

Still Pavtube studio keeps the 'Settings' item down for those who wanna more adjustments on their output videos. To adjust the video codec, video size, bitrates or frame rate or some audio channels, why not take around of this function? 

 

At the end of the page, if you have finished the preparation work, go back to the main interface, hit the big red button 'Convert' on the main interface, it's time to get our job started. More details about this upgraded version you can take this article review for a reference.

Why does this happens? The reason behind that you can't edit 60p AVCHD MTS files in Sony Vegas Pro smoothly is due to the format and codec. AVCHD MTS is a delivery codec rather than editing codec and the 1080 60p is a non-standard format for NLE such as Sony Vegas Pro. 

 

It is really bad news for Windows users. Is there any good way to make it though? Since Sony Vegas will not load 60p mts files directly, perhaps we can do it with the help of third-party software which helps to these 60p AVCHD clips to Sony Vegas Pro supported video formats like WMV format, making it possible for us to edit the 60p mts videos in Sony Vegas Pro smoothly. 

Among so much software on the market, it is strongly suggested using Pavtube 60p AVCHD Video Converter.

Useful Tips: Editing Canon C300 MXF Footage on Mac Yosemite

Summary: Have you ever got problems in editing Canon C300 footage when it all goes wrong? This paper can offer you some useful suggestions

Working with Canon C300, the output format MXF has provides us a high quality image enjoyment. Surely, if you wanna edit MXF video files in editing system, a free plug-in or MXF video converter can help you smoothly finish your work. Such as FCP or Premiere Pro

However, someone else has some other questions about MXF files. 

 

Question 1.How to copy MXF files correctly? 

Well first, and this may go without saying, but if you're going to get an intern or producer to do it make sure they know what they're doing. Essentially you must copy the entire card structure (preferably not through dragging and dropping in the finder). 

Sony and Canon both have free browser apps that will let you back up your media. Or you could invest in something like Shotput Pro to duplicate your cards to multiple drives simultaneously. You are backing them up as you go, right? 
If that's not enough detail, just watch this great tutorial on a correct tapeless media workflow from Shane Ross. 


Question 2. What To Do If Your C300 Card Structure Is Broken? 

If for whatever reason your card structure doesn't come across intact, what can you do? Depending on your NLE you have various options. If you're in Adobe Premiere it doesn't matter, as it will read the MXF files just fine. 

First, you can try to 'fake it' out by recreating the C300 card structure (which should look like the example below). In the past I'm sure I've gotten lucky with it but its a pretty slim chance of actually working. FCPX needs a correct card structure so if you have to, transcoding in a 3rd party app is a feasible workaround 


Question 3. Is there any free app for converting C300 MXF files. 

Miro is a great free app (one of the few free apps I found) that actually works and works well. Miro Video Converter will allow you to grab the .MXF files and transcode them into Pro Res 422, DNxHD and AVC Intra 1080p and 720p. You can batch transcode as many of them as you like and it works pretty quickly. The files look great and were a higher quality but as Miro is a free app, there are a few catches. 

 

First, you cannot specify the output folder and it defaults to your MacHD > User > Movies folder. So you need to have enough space on your boot drive to transcode the footage too. This is also a problem if you have multiple files with the same name, (which I had on this edit with a two camera shoot) as this means you have to transcode one set at a time and move them out of the folder so as not to overwrite them with the next batch. Annoying. 


Question 4. Is there any tool that can answer the questions above, including copy files or broken structure? 

Pavtube iMixMXF or MXF Converter for Mac, a professional C300 MXF Converter with the functions of copying or converting video files together. Let's have a look here! 

Step 1. Download Mac C300 MXF video converter and launch. You can see this button on main interface if want to copy your MXF files. Also, tick the clips you like on the left list. From' Add from folder', there's no worries about broken structure. 

 

Step 2. For those who want to convert your videos to other formats, click the 'Format Button' to choose suitable items for FCP, iMovie, Avid or Premiere, etc. Also other phones or PC are included. Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc. What's more, Multi-track output can also be provided! 

 

Step 3. Additional 'Editor' for those primary users is a convenient item too. Trim, Crop, Text Watermark or Subtitle. 

 

Step 4. You wanna adjust your video size, bitrate or frame rate? Click 'Settings'and you'll know much! 

 

If you have done all above, 'Convert' to start your work. 
So nice a C300 MXF footage converter! Have you still need to worry about the problem with editing your C300 MXF footage when it all goes wrong?
