The Sony X1000V is by far Sony's best attempt at an action cam. A big performance plus on the X1000V is the ability to record 4K at a whopping 100 Mb/s which improves image motion and overall quality. With its Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity, you can go just about anywhere, prove you are there in glorious 4K quality and share your experiences with your online friends wherever they are in the world.
Maybe you have recorded some footage and wondering how to import Sony FDR-X1000V XAVC S videos to FCP, Premiere Pro or other editing software for editing natively on Mac. As we know, Sony FDR-X1000V recordings are in XAVC S or MP4 format and XAVC S, a long GOP inter-frame codec, does not appear to be supported by most NLEs including FCP or Premiere Pro. So you may encounter importing problems, or can’t edit Sony FDR-X1000V 4K footage in FCP or Premiere Pro smoothly, besides, it will take a long time to render. In order to fix all these problems, you'd better convert XAVC S from Sony FDR-X1000V to Adobe PP/FCP friendly codec initially.
Based on our multiple testing and other users’ feedback, here I highly recommend you try the Brorsoft XAVC S Video Converter for Mac which is able to convert XAVC S files from Sony FDR-X1000V to FCP, Premiere fully compatible format and keep original quality at the mean while. It can also export ProRes for Final Cut Pro, Apple InterMedaite Codec(AIC) for iMovie/FCE, DNxHD for Avid Media Composer and more NLE systems for native editing. Download the software and follow the guide to finish the conversion task. If you’re using a Windows, please turn to its equivalent Windows version- Video Converter, which can help you solve the XAVC S incompatibility issues on Windows(10).
