Sony a9 III MP4 Files to Final Cut Pro Workflow

Laying claim to the title of world’s first global shutter mirrorless camera, the Sony Alpha a9 III is a speedy and incredibly capable system for sports, wildlife, photojournalism, and much, much more. The a9 III captures and downsamples the full 6K image area to produce high-quality UHD 4K video up to 60 fps. It can also record 4K up to 120 fps with no crop.

Video is recorded with XAVC HS/XAVC S/XAVC S-I and packed in the widely supported MP4 wrapper. As a Sony a9 III user, you may be confused with Sony a9 III workflow with Final Cut Pro. Though Apple Final Cut Pro especially the 10.6.10 provide native support for Sony XAVC S, with no transcoding, smooth importing, strong metadata support, real-time editing, and flexible delivery options, something frustrating to its users is that when loading Sony a9 III 4K XAVC HS/XAVC S/XAVC S-I files to Final Cut Pro, some error messages like missing codec, looped audio, etc occurred from time to time.

Want to edit Sony a9 III MP4 files in Final Cut Pro, FCP X, FCP 7 and create a home movie? Then you will disappointed since Sony XAVC HS, XAVC S-I and XAVC S are not supported by Final Cut Pro well. Even if you can successfully import the video into the editing software, you will have to spend a long time rendering the video material. If you’re attempting to use Sony a9 III footage in Final Cut Pro, you have to first convert MP4 to Final Cut Pro supported media formats like ProRes 422 MOV, ProRes 4444 MOV, QuickTime MOV, etc. Haven’t figured out a way?
