AVI is listed as one of the supported formats by Sony Vegas Pro. But the problem with AVI is, when you plan to edit the AVI file with Sony Vegas, you may be able to do this, but may be unable to. So what’s the matter? Well, the problem is mainly due to that Windows didn’t come with the codecs that were used for those particular .AVI files(AVI is just a wrapper for a large variety of codecs.)… That’s why Sony Vegas Pro won’t open AVI. If you’re unable to locate your AVI files to Sony Vegas, you could adjust AVI to Sony Vegas compatible formats.

Final Cut Pro X natively supports 4K ProRes, Sony XAVC and REDCODE RAW. However, the old version FCP X or Final Cut Pro 6/7 like many editors use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so for a long time. If you want to have a smooth 4K video and FCP workflow, you are advised to downscale DJI Inspire 4K to 1080p for further editing in FCP 6/7 and Final Cut Pro X.

As matter of fact, Avid Media Composer might not work with some MP4 files due to the codec issue or other reasons. In order to ingest MP4 files into Avid MC for editing smoothly, the easy workaround is to transcode MP4 footage to DNxHD, which is natively supported by Avid.

I’m trying to play a MTS video on Mac with QuickTime, but I found MTS is not supported by QuickTime player. Searching the web, more than one guys told me to convert MTS to MOV. Since you also wanna change MTS to MOV format, I think the way I figured out works for you too. Here is the detailed guide on how to encode MTS to MOV. Uh, by the way, when I using the MTS converter app other guys recommended, I found the software provides the preset ProRes .mov for Final Cut Pro. I think it would be the optimal choice for you to edit in your FCP.

Did you keep your original MTS video? When converting MTS file to Adobe Premiere Pro, you’d better keep the original video size, bitrate, frame rate, audio channel. For your converted AVI files, I don’t think it’s a good format for Adobe editing. As a container format it may contain some video/audio codec that Adobe Premiere can’t support. If you didn’t have your original MTS videos, you may try to reconvert your AVI to MPEG-2 for Premiere. Hope it can work.

Actually, Sony Movie Studio supports MP4, but it only prefers MPEG-4 codec instead of others. However, MP4 as a container format can include various video codecs. So if your MP4 files are not accepted by Sony Movie Studio, it’s probably because of the video codec incompatibility. To get rid of the trouble, you need to transfer MP4 files to Sony Movie Studio preferred codec and then import to Sony Movie Studio for editing.

As it claimed, with AMA link in Avid Media Composer, XAVC codec can be supported well. Whereas, the XAVC video included in PXW-FS7 is not supported perfectly by Avid Media Composer so far based on our multiple testing and users’ feedback. It will be a bit hard when working Sony PXW-FS7 footage with Avid MC. Well, things can be different if you change XAVC to Avid Media Composer more edit-friendly format DNxHD.

Yu can’t make MKV readable with Sony Vegas. That’s because MKV is a container file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file and Sony Vegas doesn’t accept it natively. If you want to directly drag MKV to Sony Vegas timeline, you will be frustrated for Vegas not supporting MKV format. In order to import MKV to Sony Vegas Pro smoothly, you’d need to make MKV files more compatible with Sony Vegas.

Actually, the 4K video was restricted to edit in After Effects. Only the latest version Adobe After Effects CC can natively support 4K video like Sony’s XAVC. The previous version After Effects CS4/CS5/CS6 has not yet been updated for 4K support. To import your 1DC 4k files in After Effects, you’d better convert the file format and downscale to 1080p.

Actually, ProRes in a MOV file format is beyond the compatibility of Adobe Premiere Pro. You can’t get a flawless workflow in most cases. To solve the problem, you need to change ProRes files to Premiere Pro CC most compatible format like MPEG-2.
