The FX30 is the Sony's new flagship camera targeted at pros and anyone who wants the best damn video you can get from a digital cinema camera. The FX30's advanced imaging system is on par with other options in Sony's Cinema Line-capturing detailed 10-bit UHD 4K imagery at up to 120 fps-giving it specs fitting a true cinema camera. Record in 10-bit 4:2:2 using advanced XAVC HS and XAVC S-I formats. Both the Sony FX30 cameras can make for some very smooth video when shooting fast-moving scenes, as well as nice slow-motion clips.
The same as its predecessors, the the higher-end Sony FX30 camera records in XAVC HS, XAVC S-I, XAVC-S and outputs its files as .MP4 files. Files are compressed using the h.265 codec. So the files you are getting out of Sony FX30 are suited to be delivered as is, which is usually not what you want. If you want to import the (4K) MP4 videos from FX30 to After Effects for editing, you first need to convert FX30 MP4 to a more editing-friendly format, such a Adobe's MPEG-2.
To transcode MP4 footage for editing in After Effects, you're highly recommended to use Acrok Video Converter Ultimate.
