Enjoy/Playback H.265/HEVC video files on Xbox One/360 

Q: Would it be possible for Microsoft to release a software update that would give the Xbox One the capability to play HEVC videos? 

4K resolution is widely predicted to be the main development trend of video resolution, which is on the way to all of us. While, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) is the latest video compression standard that promises to deliver visual quality equivalent to H.264/AVC with up to 50% bitrate savings. In most cases, to get higher video quality and definition for playback via Xbox One/Xbox 360. 

 

I would love the ability of being able to play HEVC (H.265) encoded media through my Xbox One. Do you have the similar ideas? Fine, according to the Xbox's supported formats limitation, it seems a little important to find some H.265/HEVC to Xbox converter to solve the issues, right? In some other ways, enjoy the H.265/HEVC movies on iPhone 6 is also not a bad idea! 

What a coincidence! Have you heard the old video studio Pavtube has upgraded their products to support the new H.265/HEVC codec. Also, you may not know yet this Pavtube Video Converter have the Xbox One/Xbox 360 as the output. Why we called this program as the Xbox video converter? Cause it can transcode those Xbox unsupported video formats such as MKVFLV to Xbox for playback smoothly. Learn more steps below: 

Step 1. Launch the program and open the main interface you can see some buttons also with a preview window on the right. 'Add Videos' to import your H.265/HEVC files and take a preview on right window. You must wait a little longer if you got large files. 

 

Step 2. Go to the format bar to select the "Zune/Xbox 360 Device">"Xbox 360 HD Video (*.wmv)"as your output format. From H.265/HEVC to HD WMV, that's the key to play H.265 movies on Xbox. 

 

Step 3. Optional: Click the "Settings" beside the format bar to adjust your parameters is allow you to enjoy a better viewing quality. Before go to the conversion, you can click this "Edit" to do some personal edits on your raw videos. This saves you from the troubles which you have to reload them to editors.

How to Convert Sony PXW-FS7 4K XAVC to ProRes for FCP?

Edit Sony PXW-FS7 4K/HD XAVC in Final Cut Pro 

Summary:Having issues when import and edit Sony PXW-FS7 4K XAVC footage in Final Cut Pro 6/7/X? Looking for some tips regarding Sony PXW-FS7 4K XAVC workflow in FCP? You are in the right place. In this page, I will share an efficient way to edit Sony FS7 XAVC files in FCP. 

 

The newly released SonyPXW-FS7 has won lots of attractions from videographers in that it delivers long-form recording capabilities with 4K resolution in a compact, hand-held design. Videographers must be excited once they get to know that Sony PXW-FS7 can record videos into 4K. And they are eager to edit 4K videos in FCP to get some superb masterpiece to spread the world. However, it is a pity that FCP hardly supports 4K raw Sony PXW-FS7 XAVC files. 
Tips: FCP supported video formats 

I'm searching for a solid answer for the Sony FS7 to FCP issues. When I opened FCPon Mac, the footage from my Sony PXW-FS7 cannot be recognized. I had searched the method and tried the Log and Transfer, but still failed. An alternative way I found to get Sony FS7 XAVC to FCP flawlessly is to convert XAVC to ProRes. I've tried the workaround. Yes, it works. 

Generally, we can use Log and Transfer or Log and Capture to import videos to FCP for editing. But the new XAVC codec is not supported well by Final Cut Pro. Since, Apple ProRes is the most compatible codec for FCP, so if we want to edit Sony FS7 XAVC in FCP, it is necessary to convert those already shot XAVC files to ProRes .mov using third-party software. Here, you can depend on Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac. With this best 4K XAVC converter, besides FCP, it can also export DNxHD for Avid MC, MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro, AIC for iMovieand more NLEsfor native editing. 

  

Tutorial on converting Sony PXW-FS7 4K XAVC to FCP: 

Step 1:Launch the 4K XAVC to ProRes Converter on your Mac, and then click the "Add video" button to import your 4K XAVC files from Sony PXW-FS7 directly. In order to import several files at one time, you can click "Add from folder" button. 

 

Step 2: Click the "Format" bar to get the drop-down menu and you can get "Final Cut Pro>>Apple ProRes codec", including ProRes 422, ProRes 422 (HQ), ProRes 422 (LT), ProRes 422 (Proxy) and ProRes 4444. Choose the proper one you want. Here, we suggest you to choose Apple ProRes 422 .mov as the best output format. 

 

Step 3:Press the "Settings" icon and you'd better set the video frame rate as 30fps, video size as 1920*1080 for editing Sony FS7 XAVC in FCP easily. 

 

Step 4:Now, click "Convert" and let it go. The XAVC to FCP Converter for Mac supports batch conversion. So if you have lots of XAVC videos to convert, check "Shut down computer after conversion" and you can go away without keeping an eye on it. 

Conclusion:Once the conversion process shows in 100%, click "Open" to get the output videos. Create a project and start Sony PXW-FS7 editing 4K XAVC files in Final Cut Prowith light speed.

Panasonic Lumix FZ200—is the Panasonic's flagship super-zoom digital camera. While recent models have been relatively minor upgrades. In terms of video, the Panasonic FZ200 can shoot up to 1080 60p video in AVCHD or MP4 formats. AVCHD formatted shooting, due to its big file size, often falls in several separated .MTS video clips. In that way, you may have some trouble for further editing in some popular tools, such like FCP. So do you know any details on best video formats for FCP

 

Just as a friend reflected us that he has converted the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 MTS files to ProRes .mov, which is the best format for FCP with MTS/M2TS to FCP 6 Video Converter for Mac. He said it was so nice that he has never met before. It at present works so well and know he asked: I installed it on my Mac IOS 10.7.5, so do I need to buy it again if I wanna install it on another Mac 10.6.8? 

Now, we are willing to share the specific process with you guys. Download the program from the official website and launch it with ‘Add videos' or ‘Add from folder'. Your files will be listed there and tick what you want.
