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

Check this short tutorial on how to convert A7R II 4K XAVC S video to Apple InterMediate Code for use in iMovie smoothly. Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac will do the trick to transcode A7R II XAVC S footage to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing in iMovie smoothly without quality loss.

    Click the Format bar, and you can directly choose the optimized profiles for Xperia Android Smartphone under "Sony > Sony Xperia P Video(*.mp4)" which can fit Xperia Z5  tablet perfectly. 



    Step 3. Best Format Settings for ripping Blu-ray on Xperia Z5 

    If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. For watching videos on the Android-based device, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right.

    When all the settings are OK, click "Convert" button to start ripping Blu-ray movies to MP4 video for playback on Sony Xperia Z5 Smartphone with ease.
