Awesome!! Now I can rest easy knowing that my video is being imported natively. You’ve been a great help in which I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you, Ray 🙂

The following are a couple screen shots showing you what I’m talking about. Thanks, Ray

Thanks Joe…… My RX100V settings are as follows;
File Format: XAVC S 4K
Record Setting: 30p 100M
In FCPX’s Media Import window it shows H.264 Codec & MPEG-4 as File Type. Basically, all I want to do is copy my video natively without any quality loss. I was always under the impression that H.264/MPEG-4 is less quality over 4K. Thanks again, Ray -
Interesting….. I just imported off my SD card into iMovie to see what would happen. Comes up as .MOV

I re-checked my RX100v settings and created a new clip and tried importing directly off the SD card into FCPX to make an archive. Once again, it shows my video as being a H.264 codec instead of XAVC S. I do have v2.0.5 Pro Video Formats installed. I dropped it into Applications in the Finder window. Being fairly new to Mac, maybe I done this wrong. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s just something simple……. hopefully. Thanks, Ray

Thanks for the link Noah. I do have the latest Pro Video Formats installed. I’m assuming the 4K XAVC S 30p 100M didn’t import natively due to showing as a H.264 codec. My Sony PXW-X70 footage imported natively as XAVC QFHD 30p which is 4K. This is confirmed due to it showing up under the FCPX codec column in the “Media Import” window. I’d like to add, I haven’t changed any settings in FCPX…… My 2016 15″ MacBook Pro is also maxed out and plays back the X70 4K flawlessly. Hopefully someone here can give me some type of an idea what to try next. At this point, all I’m doing is archiving my video on a couple backup drives. Thanks again for your help and have a great Memorial Day. Ray

Thank You John!! That is one awesome tool…… and great job on the tutorial! Looks to be pretty much straight forward. Cleaning up the media along with placing it in the proper aspect ratio would indeed be a great tool that I could use. I went to their web site but, couldn’t find a price. In addition, I clicked on the “free trial” icon which took me to an “error page”. It may be possible that they are working on their web site therefore, I will check later.
Thanks again John, for taking the time in helping me out and pointing me in the right direction. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate it! Ray ???? -
Thank You Joe!! I will forget about re-wrapping and/or transcoding the .avi as you stated. I will follow your suggestions once I get the project up and running and I will certainly test early on for the best output. Currently, I’m re-wrapping my other media in EditReady as well as organizing it in folders. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you taking the time in helping me out. You, along with many others is what makes this forum! Thank you, Ray

I did some digging and found out the camcorder used was a JVC GR DVL9500 tape based consumer handicam. I looked up the manual https://www.instructionsmanuals.com/u2/pdf/camara_video/Jvc-GRDVL9500-en.pdf which didn’t have any good info. in regards to specs. The media is non-widescreen 4:3 720×480 .avi and it appears to be interlaced. I tried some free converter trials off the internet which produced poor quality. It would be nice if Apple’s Compressor had a trial to try but, I didn’t see one. I would just like to re-wrap the media to .mov for FCPX but, I haven’t found anything yet to do so. I’m currently at a loss in regards to what to do. Once it’s figured out, I’ll certainly let everyone here know. Thanks, Ray
