Summary: With Sony mirror less cameras gaining their popularity, the conversion of their Full HD
AVCHD to ProRes is becoming a problem. So how should we transcode
Sony A5100 Full HD AVCHD to ProRes for Final Cut Pro? This article is special for this.
Today, Sony released a new entry-level mirror less camera – Sony A5100. It is a powerful camera with high cost performance. This camera features a 24.3-megapixel APS-C sensor and a super-fast autofocus system. These enable the high quality of its output files. For appealing to the young customers, Sony A5100 equips a 180 degree rotation screen and a build-in WIFI. They will bring great convenience to make composing selfies and uploading them to the computer!
In spite of the powerful functions Sony A5100 has, if we don’t do well in the postproduction of the output files, the final works will never escape the mediocrity. So the postproduction of them turns out to the key to get satisfying works. Final Cut Pro is such kind of practical video editing software. But as we all know, it has high requirements for its importing formats. What we also need is a powerful converter. Here I want to recommend you a piece of nice software – Aunsoft iMedia Converter for Mac which focuses on
