Convert Sony PXW-X320 XAVC to DNxHD MOV for Avid MC

Summary: You may find that Avid Media Composer won’t work beautifully with Sony PXW-X320 XAVC videos. The easy workaround to resolve the issues is to convert Sony XAVC to DNxHD MOV, a more editable format for Avid MC.


The PXW-X320, with various functions inherited from Sony's world-acclaimed XDCAM camcorders and yet highly cost effective with lens included has won lots of users. The PXW-X320 supports recording in MPEG HD422, MPEG HD, MPEG IMX, and DVCAM. In additional, XAVC is also supported offering high quality content creation in the HD domain.

“I followed instructions on installing PDZK-MA2_v2.31_for Mac driver to make XAVC files editable in Avid with AMA. However, when I load the XAVC footage into the source monitor it says: CORE CONSISTENCY CHECK FAILURE. What’s the problem?”

Although Avid plug-in can solve some people’s confusion about importing XAVC to Avid MC for editing, it’s not for all the cases. The simplest workaround I found on Google is to convert Sony PXW-X320 XAVC to DNxHD MOV, which is compatible with Avid Media Composer, with a powerful third party program if you are eager to get a fluent workflow.

Tips: Main supported video formats for Avid Media Composer:
DNxHD: This is Avid’s baby. All kinds of DNxHD are supported natively via either of the import methods mentioned above.

H.264: H.264 is the ubiquitous codec, and it looks like it will stay for quite some time. Avid Media Composer supports H.264 natively, via AMA as mentioned above.

MPEG-4: Like H.264, Avid Media Composer supports MPEG-4 natively, via AMA as mentioned above. The Quicktime plug-ins are installed by default.

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (review) is the solid tool to help users achieve the goal, applying which you are capable of converting Sony XAVC to DNxHD MOV with lossless quality at faster speed so that you can edit Sony X320 XAVC in Avid MC without any problem. Besides, the program is developed with some useful editing features, including merging several clips into one for easy importing, downsizing the files for editing and storage, adding text/image/video to original files, adding subtitles, replacing original audio tracks, etc.

Edit GoPro Hero 4K Footage in Sony Vegas Pro

Summary: When you have recorded videos using your GoPro Hero camera, you’ll find the videos can’t be edited properly in Sony Vegas Pro. Check out these workarounds and troubleshooting tips below.


Hot search: downsize GoPro Hero 4K video to 1080p | GoPro Hero 4K video to Vimeo | GoPro Hero 4K video to VLC |GoPro Hero 4K video to Pinnacle Studio

The GoPro HD cameras like Hero2, Hero3, Hero4, etc. are familiar with everyone whoever has passion for sports and other outdoor activities. GoPro HD is the world's first true HD and best selling wearable camera to record sporting and other activities. The latest GoPro Hero4 Black allows you to record at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.

“Got a GoPro Hero4 for days and I'm having some problems editing the footage. When I import GoPro Hero 4K footage to Sony Vegas Pro, they play choppy and really slow, sometimes Sony Vegas Pro couldn’t recognize them, let alone for editing. I’m seeking for the solution to the GoPro to Sony Vegas Pro importing & editing issues.”

A little searching turns up the solution. Actually, Sony Vegas Pro has no ingest transcoder, nor timeline rendering. What does this mean? Since we were using footage from a GoPro Hero camera (notorious among the editing community for stuttering due to its high compression), we had to use another program to transcode the footage into a usable format. You can refer to detailed Sony Vegas Pro supported formats below:

Sony Vegas Pro 13 Supported file formats:
Opens: MOV, WMV, H.264, AA3, AAF, AIF, ASF, AU, AVC, AVI, BMP, BWF, CDA, DIG, DLX, DPX, DV, EXR, FLAC, GIF, HDP, IVC, JPEG, AVCHD, M2T, M2TS, MVC, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), MP3, MP4, M4A, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, OGG, MPO, OMA, Panasonic MXF (DVCPRO, AVC-Intra) PCA, PSD, QT, R3D, PNG, SFA, SND, TIFF, TGA, W64, WAV, VOX, WDP, WMA, XAVC Intra MXF, XAVC S

Saves: H.264, AA3, FLAC, AC3, AIF, ATRAC, AVC, AVCHD, AVI, DPX, EXR, HDP, MOV, MP4, WMV, MP3, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, M2T, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), MVC, OGG, Panasonic MXF (AVC-Intra), PCA, W64, WAV, WMA, XAVC S, XAVC Intra MXF

Sony Vegas Pro 12 Supported file formats:
Opens: AA3, AAF, AIF, ASF, AU, AVI, BMP, BWF, CDA, DIG, DLX, DPX, DV, EXR, FLAC, GIF, HDP, IVC, JPG, M2T, M2TS, MOV, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), MP3, MP4, M4A, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, OGG, OMA, Panasonic MXF (DVCPRO 25, 50, 100, AVC-Intra 50, 100), PCA, PNG, PSD, QT, R3D, SFA, SND, TIFF, TGA, VOX, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV

Saves: AA3, AC3, AIF, ATRAC, AVC, AVI, DPX, EXR, FLAC, HDP, MOV, MP3, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, MP4, M2T, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), OGG, PCA, W64, WAV, WMA, WMV

Since Sony Vegas Pro might not work with some GoPro Hero 4K videos due to the codec issue, to get rid of the trouble, we need to convert GoPro Hero 4K footage to Sony Vegas Pro preferred codec and then transfer the converted videos to Sony Vegas Pro for editing. To achieve the goal, you can use Pavtube Video Converter, the best app that can help you convert 4K video to Sony Vegas Pro compatible video format with original quality. It saves you both time and trouble. And all you need is to drag the result videos for playing and editing.

Step 1: Download and install the program. Click “Add video” on the main interface to load your GoPro Hero 4K videos to the program. You can also drag the files to the program’s window list directly. This program can also support the batch video clips.

Step 3: In the “Settings” button, you can adjust video and audio settings, including codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel.

Work with Canon C100 Mark II AVCHD in iMovie

Summary: Having “unrecognized format” issue while importing Canon C100 Mark II AVCHD to iMovie? If you are looking for a way to make the workflow between Canon C100 Mark II and iMovie more smoothly, you may have interest in this article.


Hot search: C100 Mark II AVCHD to FCP X | C100 Mark II AVCHD to Premiere | C100 Mark II AVCHD to Avid MC

Canon’s second-generation C100 Mark II digital video camera is being positioned as an affordable solution for video and film production, featuring dual codec capability to process simultaneous AVCHD and MP4 recording, including 59.94P capture along with slow and fast motion recording.

Most consumers are happy with the C100 Mark II for its new design and performance upgrades, but for some reason people may run into unexpected incompatibility issues while editing C100 Mark II AVCHD footage on Mac through iMovie or FCE. “As a Mac lover and user I appreciate iMovie and would use it to edit footage downloaded from a Canon C100 Mark II digital video camera. My problem is that, my colleague shot video files in both MP4 mode and AVCHD mode. I have no problem with MP4 recordings, but have issues while using C100 Mark II AVCHD footage in iMovie, especially files at 60p (59.94 fps). They are very buggy. Do I need to convert these files to another format or how do I import them to iMovie so I can edit them flawlessly? Can anyone give me some suggestions if you are using a similar (or same) Canon video camera? Video specs are 1920*1080, 28 Mbps at 59.94p and 1920 *1080, 24 Mbps at 23.98p. Many thanks in advance.”

In fact, AVCHD is a high compressed codec and it’s not a good editing format for many video editing software, including iMovie. iMovie and FCE are pretty picky about the video they use, and they cannot handle 60p AVCHD files well. If you want to bring in 60p AVCHD clips that you’ve got from Canon C100 Mark II, you need to first convert AVCHD to Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) MOV, a format that is full compatible with iMovie/FCE on your Mac.

Some main formats that iMovie supported are allowed below:



List of iMovie exported video formats:



It’s clearly that AIC is iMovie’s favorite editing codec, which iMovie will read and handle well. In this way, you can expect a fast and fluid workflow between C100 Mark II AVCHD and iMovie. The process is surprisingly easy and can be done with the help of Pavtube MTS/M2TS Converter for Mac. By running it, there's no need to set the codec by yourself; the Mac program has optimized presets for iMovie. Besides, the program is developed with some useful editing features, including merging several clips into one for easy importing, downsizing the files for editing and storage, adding text/image/video to original files, adding subtitles, replacing original audio tracks, etc.
