The A7R II has received a large amount of ink, and deservedly so – it is, technologically, one great camera. The mirrorless, compact body (5 × 3.9 × 2.4 inches without lens, and 22 ounces with battery and card) has a 42.4-megapixel back-illuminated (BI) full-frame sensor – a first for the industry. The camera captures 7,952 × 5,304-pixel stills as well as 4K video in Sony’s XAVC-S format. And with its Fast Hybrid Autofocus technology, the A7R II can autofocus select Canon lenses (using an adaptor), breaking the wall that’s existed between camera brands.
For a fast and fluid workflow, people sometimes need to transcode A7R II 4K XAVC S video for editing in FCP. However, the XAVC-S footage captured by Sony A7R II is a kind of non-standard format which is hardly supported by FCP 6, FCP7, FCP X. In order to load Sony A7R II XAVC-S clips into Final Cut Pro for smoothly editing, we need to rewrap or convert original XAVC-S files to Apple ProRes Code , the most compatible video codec for FCP to afford with the help of a professional third party program.
