How to Import Sony A7R II 4K XAVC S in iMovie for Editing?

About Sony A7R II

Like the Sony A7S before it, the A7R II is able to capture ultra-high-resolution 4K video (3840 x 2160), however, unlike the "S" model, it can record 4K video internally to the memory card (or via HDMI with an uncompressed 4:2:2 8-bit signal, as well). The A7R II makes use of Sony's higher bitrate XAVC S file format, which supports 4K bitrates up to 100Mbps. Full HD and 720p video recording is also offered in XAVC S format at 50Mbps.

For a fast and fluid workflow, people sometimes need to transcode A7R II 4K XAVC S video for editing in iMovie. XAVC S with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec is much more than a video format that iMovie can support. According to our own experience and other user's feedback, to transfer Sony A7R II XAVC S footage to iMovie, the best workaround here is to convert Sony A7R II XAVC S to AIC MOV, the most compatible video format for iMovie
