The new Panasonic Lumix S Series will feature two cameras, the Lumix S1R and the Lumix S1. The Lumix S1 and S1R look a lot like Lumix G cameras, just bigger… much bigger. Not only will the cameras feature both in-body and in-lens image stabilization and a 3-axis rear display, Panasonic claims the S1 and S1R will be the first full-frame mirrorless cameras to support full 4K video capture at 60fps. We can get 4K 60P MP4 (H.264, H.265) and Full HD 60P AVCHD footage easily. If you plan edit Panasonic Lumix S1/S1R footage in FCP or Premiere Pro and you have be in trouble. This guide will give you way of settling difficulties.
Well, although Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro CC claimed it supports 4K MP4/MOV and Full HD AVCHD, the 60P format is not ideal for editing yet- even if FCP X and Premiere Pro CC can successfully ingest your Lumix S1 or Lumix S1R videos sometimes, it still needs a long time for rendering. As far as I know part of the causes when many users meet the similar trouble due to they used Final Cut Pro with the old version FCP 7 and FCP 6. You’d better upgrade FCP X to 10.1.0. And Premiere Pro CS6/CS5 doesn’t support 4K video importing at all.
In order to import Lumix S1/S1R footage to FCP/Premiere Pro successfully, we introduce a third-party video converter called Acrok Video Converter Ultimate (Windows | Mac) for you.
