How Should I Play and Edit Sony Alpha 7S II 4K video on HP 4K laptop

It didn’t take long for the newly formed HP Inc. to release its first product, the ZBook Studio, a feature-packed, 15.6-inch laptop with a 4K screen.

The ZBook Studio is 18 millimeters thick and weighs 1.99 kilograms (4.6 pounds). It can be configured with Nvidia Quadro graphics cards, which are more for professional graphics and engineering applications.

The laptop has up to 2TB storage capacity, but HP is selling a separate dock with a Thunderbolt 3 port, which will make it easy to add external storage drives.

A 4K screen can be included in HP’s ZBook 15 and 17 laptops, which have 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch screens, respectively. The ZBook 15 has up to 3TB of storage, while the ZBook 17 offers up to 4TB of storage.



For Sony Alpha 7S II users, it is can not be a better news for them to enjoy the the 4K video on the 4k display. However, the Alpha 7S II record video in XAVC-S MXF files, it can be play in some of the media player, some others may be import failed.

It is essential for you to know the video format compatible with the device on which you want to play the recorded 4K XAVC-S MXF videos shot by Sony Alpha 7S II. Video formats for common devices are MP4, FLV, SWF, MOV, AVI, WMV, M4V, MPG and you can take advantage to rip 4K XAVC-S MXF recordings to MP4/FLV/SWF/MOV/AVI/WMV/M4V/MPG.Pavtube HD Video Converter / Mac Version will handle this work smoothly.

How about XAVC-S MXF files to open them natively in NLE on HP 4K laptop?

Since there are so many NLE in the market , let’s take this FCP for example. You may say that with the latest FCP, this MXF format can be supported without any rewrapping. But with this XAVC codec, it may still cause some problem when you import them into FCP. The best way to tackle this kind of problem is to find yourself a XAVC Converter and then convert to the native format like Appple ProRes HQ .

See detailed workflow of this conversion below:

1.Load your Sony XAVC files:

Download this Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac and install it step by step. Then load your XAVC MXF files into this software by clicking “File”>”Add Video/Audio” or “Add from folder”.



2. Choose suitable ones individually for NELs:

After importing them into this program, it’s time to select suitable output ones for different non-linear editing tools. Let me show you some examples below:

a:Come to the output list, let’s choose the ‘Final Cut Pro’ to select the ‘Apple ProRes Codec 422(*.mov) as the best . Additionally, you can also choose several ProRes codec as your favorite.



b: For Avid Media Composer: Drop down the output list, we suggest you to choose the ‘Avid Media Composer’>>’DNxHD mov’ as the best outputone.

C: while for iMovie and FCE,  here we have offered the ‘iMovie/Final Cut Express’>>’Apple InterMediate Codec (AIC) (*.mov)’ there. Do you wanna a try?

Expand Knowledge:
NLE is an acronym, it stands for non-linear editing system. This is a video or audio editing digital audio workstation system. No –linear editing is the most natural approach when all assets are available as files on video servers or hard disks. Rather than recordings on reels or tapes, while linear editing is what kind of system that need to sequentially view film or hear tape.

What Should I Get Her(TV girly) for Christmas?

Summary: Christmas is coming, do you still worry about to choose a good present for her, here we give the gift for you to enjoy her.

If you want to be a good (or better) influence in her life, I would recommend taking her on outings with you-- day trips to a library, a zoo (as mentioned), an activity centre (like the YMCA for example-- you could attend a class, go for a swim), and lastly a department store, to get an idea of what she likes and has interest in, as well as provide exposure to more things/people/ideas she could develop an interest in.  You will get a better idea of what she wants for Christmas by asking her directly (and whether or not you decide to buy it for her will be up to you-- it may or may not be within your budget or appropriate-- that's a call only you can make), but you will get more clues about what she likes by going on these outings with her, and they will enhance both of your lives.

I'd take a new look at her interests instead of dismissing them. For example:

Someone who likes watching TV might have a desire and a talent for the performing arts. Maybe she could look into taking acting or singing or dancing lessons, and get involved in theatre productions. She could BE in shows instead of watching them. Learning how to get up in front of people and perform is a skill that translates into other fields as well. There are also other career avenues in the performing arts that are not performance related as well she could look at: cameraman, director, producer, sound production, makeup, etc.

Depending on your budget, you could ask her what she would like to do together, encourage her to try doing something new, as your Christmas gift to her. Now that she was interested in movies and TV, why not give her a gift enable she can be watch the TV shows and movies in any time and anywhere?

Here Pavtube give the special offer in the Christmas promotion, we pick Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version as example, it is an easy-to use, functional video converter and video editor, enables you convert multiple audio and video sources to the desired audio/video format.

You can also realize her movie director dream with the built-in video editor. Make personal video by trimming, cropping, adding text/image/video images, inserting SRT/ASS/SSA subtitle into source video, etc.

Don’t hesitate to get it as the Christmas gift for her, once you purchase you will get upgrades free for lifetime. The only thing you should remember is choose the right version from Windows version or Mac version.

My experience, as a non-pro who has nonetheless been doing a moderate amount of video digitizing, rendering and editing on Macs and PCs since the mid-90s, is that I can usually do the same amount of work in less time on a Mac. If you're already a pro with most of your experience on Windows boxen, your experience may be different. This depends on what editor you use. For example, Final Cut X will be work better on Mac, while Adobe Premiere have good effect on windows.

In generally, almost camera recording video with easy-to-record format like XAVC, XAVC S, AVCHD, MTS, MXF, ect. while the most compatible format for editing in FCP X is Apple Prores, the most compatible format for editing in Premiere is MPEG-2. That is, you just need a video tool to help you convert the incompatible video format to target format for editor in either FCP X or Premiere or other professional editor with it’s best compatible format. 

Here I would recommend you a professional any video to FCP X compatible Apple ProRes converter or Premiere compatible MPEG-2 converter--Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac(read the review).
