Sony’s CineAlta 4K Digital Motion Picture cameras like Sony PMW-F55 and Sony PMW-F5 are both very popular among the videographers. The fashion body, compact design and easy-to-use features make it excellent. It’s great for you to use Sony cameras to record full HD videos when we travel or spend holidays. Whereas you will be probably disappointed with the incompatibility of the Sony XAVC footage and Final Cut Pro X (sometimes with no sound, sometimes needs rendering with long time), one of the popular non-linear video editing software.

“Hey, I have some xavc footages recorded with my Sony PMW-F5. Now I want to edit them with FCP X on Mac. However, I can’t even import XAVC videos to Final Cut Pro X. What’s the problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!”

Well, this happens mainly because that Sony PMW-F55/F5 XAVC is not the preferred format by Final Cut Pro X. In fact, anyone who needs to edit XAVC videos in Final Cut Pro X would usually run into such incompatibility problem. Luckily, UFUSoft XAVC Converter for Mac recently helps solve this problem. By using it, you can easily convert Sony PMW-F55/F5 XAVC to Apple ProRes 422 codec for Final Cut Pro X (FCP X) native editing.
