Summary: The article shows you the best workaround for editing Sony F55 4K video in Final Cut Pro 7/X by transcoding 4K XAVC to FCP native editing format - Apple ProRes.![]() I’ve been researching possible workflows for Sony F55 and Final Cut Pro. As you know, Sony PMW-F55 is a professional-grade camera with an 8.9-megapixel 4K-enabled image sensor. With Sony F55, you can record Full HD XAVC clips 240fps RAW 2k and 60fps RAW 4K recoding onto the AXS-R5. However, I found many users complained the problems when trying to edit Sony F55 4K XAVC footage in FCP 7/X. Regardless of the NLE, I think editing in 4K is a potential exercise in frustration. Plus, Sony’s XAVC format employs MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec based on industry standards. It is not the preferred format by Apple Final Cut Pro.
