Import Sony A6000 1920*1080 60p AVCHD to FCP X for editing

Capture Sony A6000 AVCHD 60p clips to FCP X for editing 

Summary: In order to solve Final Cut Pro X won't import Sony A6000 AVCHD footages troubleshooting; one feasible solution is to directly convert AVCHD .mts to FCP X more supported video format. Below is just the step by step guide.

The Sony A6000 is a great overall camera for more advanced photographers who want something smaller than a DSLR, especially if they need the continuous - shooting speed. It allows you to record 1080/60p AVCHD MTS video. Many of us, who own the Sony A6000 (and everybody else who is interested) are now looking forward an easy solution about A6000 AVCHD MTS to FCP X import issues. (MTS File Extension Details and Tips

"Hi, there. I have just purchased a Sony A6000 last month, which is a super-compact mirrorless camera according to Sony. I've been using it to film a lot over the last 2 weeks and now I want to import A6000 AVCHD MTS to FCP X to do some basic editing, but it seems that FCP X can not open the A6000 AVCHD MTS at all. Why? I've imported and edited AVCHD 24p files into FCP X without any issues from a NEX-5N. Can anyone help me out please? MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)." 

Like Sony A5000, the A6000 is able to shoot footage in both AVCHD codec and web-friendly MP4 format. But being different from the A5000, more than recording 1920*1080/60i and 1920*1080/24p video files, the Sony A6000 is also capable of shooting AVCHD in Full HD 1920*1080 at super-smooth 60p, which A5000 can not. If you captured loads of AVCHD 60p clips with Sony A6000, you may have import issues one or another while loading them to FCP X. That's because the 60p MTS is a new format above and beyond the standard AVCHD specifications. There are rarely NLEs having native support for the 1080-60p footage. 

Some main files formats recommended for Final Cut Pro X 

Video Formats: Apple Animation codec, Apple Intermediate codec, Apple ProRes(all versions), AVC-intra, AVCHD (including AVCCAM, AVCHD Lite, and NXCAM), DV (including DVCAM, DVCPRO, and DVCPRO50), DVCPRO HD, H.264, HDV, iFrame, Motion JPEG(OpenDML only), MPEG IMX(D-10), REDCODE RAW (R3D), Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, XAVC, XDCAM HD/EX/HD422, QuickTime formats. 

Audio Formats: AAC, AIFF, BWF, CAF, MP3, MP4, WAV 

Container Format: 3GP, AVI, MP4, MXF, QuickTime 

Still-image Formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, PSD, RAW, TGA, TIFF 

Generally, we can use Log and Transfer or Log and Capture to import AVCHD MTS to FCP X for editing, but don't expect it to result in top quality. From Apple official website or the information we mentioned above, you will know that FCP best supported video codec is Apple ProRes codec, which is native codec for Final Cut Pro editing on Mac. So we could depend on Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Macto rewrap MTS to ProRes with fast conversion speed and high quality preserved. The one used here can meet your demands with its simple interface but rich functions.

Canon G7 X MP4 to Premiere Pro CC workflow on Yosrmite

Canon G7 X MP4 to Premiere Pro CC workflow on Yosrmite 

Summay: Though Premiere Pro has announced the compatibility with MP4, people still have problems in importing MP4 to Premiere sometimes, such as "No sound or video when loading MP4 file into Premiere Pro CC?" This article aims to solve the above questions in two parts. 

Source: Get Canon G7 X MP4 Work in Premiere Pro CC on Yosemite 

 

"Hi, I shot a lot of H.264 MP4 videos of a wedding ceremony with my Canon G7 X camcorder. Now, I need to do some edit work in Adobe Premiere Pro CC on Mac Yosemite for providing wonderful visual effects and memorable moments for the couples. However, I was failed on the very first step. I even could not import MP4 files into Premiere Pro CC. What’s the problem? Thank you for any tip!" 

H.264 is a delivery format that is not designed for editing. Some people experience no problem editing H.264 MP4 clips in Adobe Premiere Pro, while others are not so fortunate. After searching online, I got some tips on this issue. First, if you can play the file back through QuickTime 7. Simply open the file in QT 7 and go "File>>Save As… >>Save" as self-contained movie and it will now work for Premiere! Second, you can also have a try to simply rename the .mp4 extension to .mpg and expect it to work. I had tried two methods above. Although I could link the videos into Premiere finally, the video quality was totally damaged. 

Of course, it's not what I want. If you are also looking for a frequent and simple solution to edit Canon G7 X MP4 files in Premiere Pro CC without quality loss, I highly recommend Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (Review) , it can convert Premiere unsupported MP4 to Premiere Pro CC supported MP4; Convert Premiere unsupported MP4 to Premiere compatible other video formats like MPEG-2, FLV, DV and more. And it applies to all kinds of Adobe Premiere including Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe Premiere Pro CS3/ CS4/ CS5/ CS6, Adobe After Effects CC/CS6, Premiere Elements, etc. 

Besides Premiere output, it also offers other professional codecs for NLEs including Apple ProRes for FCP, DNxHD mov for Avid Media ComposerDaVinci Resolve, AIC mov for iMovie/FCE, and etc. If you are Windows users, please turn to Pavtube HD Video Converter
