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.
