Edit Sony RX10 III XAVC S/AVCHD/MPEG-4 projects in After Effects CC

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 III boasts a 24-600mm equivalent F2.4-4 zoom lens, 14 fps continuous stills shooting and 4K video capture. The recorded videos by Sony RX10 III are XAVC S, AVCHD, MPEG-4. However, users find that it is difficult for them to import all Sony RX10 III 4K videos to After Effects CS5/CS6/CC for further editing. In this article, we will discuss deeply on this issue.

The XAVC S is the new codec for After Effects CC. Though After Effects CC supports the XAVC, it does not support the XAVC S. What’s more, the AVCHD/MPEG-4 files are not all supported by After Effects CC without any problems. And the 4K high resolution is still a big problem. So to get your all Sony RX10 III 4K XAVC S/AVCHD/MPEG-4 videos into After Effects CC to play nicely, the quick workaround is to convert Sony RX10 III file to After Effects supported MPEG-2 encoded MPG (the most compatible video format for AE) file format and then transfer the converted Sony RX10 III videos to After Effects for editing.

And then a 3rd party software is needed. Personally, I have used Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, and it's a very affordable, fast, easy to use one software. It can help me convert all my Sony RX10 III files to AE compatible format, make Sony RX10 III footage working well in After Effects CS5/CS6/CC. In addition, this program can support various common videos besides XAVC S/AVCHD/MPEG-4, such as MOV, H.265, MKV, AVI, MTS, MXF, WMV, etc to After Effects CS5/CS6/CC formats. Here is how to do it.
