How to Transcode Sony PMW-F55 4K XAVC to Avid DNxHD for Avid Media Composer

Recommend a smart video conversion tool to transcode Sony F55 4K XAVC to Avid DNxHD for smoothly editing in Avid MC. Plus, it is simple to download and safe to install. Just get one and try it out now.

Avid Media Composer is non-linear editing system. The program allows you for film editing, uncompressed standard definition (SD) video and high definition (HD) editing and finishing. I've been researching possible workflows for Sony F55 and Avid Media Composer, as I will work with the Sony F55 footage. As you know, Sony PMW-F55 is a professional-grade camera with an 8.9-megapixel 4K-enabled image sensor. With Sony F55, you can record Full HD XAVC clips 240fps RAW 2k and 60fps RAW 4K recoding onto the AXS-R5. However, I found many users complained the problems when trying to edit Sony F55 XAVC footage in Avid.



To avoid these problems or limit, it will be better to transcode Sony F55 footage to a more editing-friendly format, such a Avid Media Composer's DNxHD.
