"I've spent all day long to figure out how to get my XAVC footage working in AMC. They are shoot in 1080p 60i with a Sony PMW-400; I know DNxHD is a codec that AMC prefers, but how can I turn my footage into it easily? I'm not very familiar with mac, pls try to be simple."



Sony's new PMW-400 is one of Sony PMW series camcorders; it includes a 2/3-inch Full HD 3CMOS sensor to enable capturing wonderful moments. It brings great video quality as well as a revolution of vide recording codec--its new, more efficient, mid-range XAVC codec. The new XAVC codec is offered for 4k 4:2:0 videos shooting and allows high frame rate shooting at 1080/60i or 720/60p.



For most Sony PMW-400 users, one of the most importance thing with the footage should be how to playback Sony XAVC videos on mac, or edit them in NLE programs such as Avid Media Composer, FCP, iMovie, etc. It's true that the XAVC codec itself is not supported by mac directly; hence the best workflow is to convert the Sony PMW-400 raw XAVC files to mac/Avid compatible video format firstly.
