In the following article, we learn how to properly edit and export 4K footage from AJA CION using Adobe Premiere Pro CC7/CS6/CS5/CS4.

AJA’s CION is a new ergonomic professional production camera, capable of shooting at 4K/UltraHD and 2K/HD resolutions. CION offers in-camera recording directly to the Apple ProRes family of codecs including ProRes 4444, and ProRes 422 up to 4K 60 fps, and offers the ability to output 4K AJA Raw data at up to 120 fps via 4x 3G-SDI outputs. When recording in HD or 2K, the image is oversampled from the full 4K sensor, retaining focal length as well as providing a vibrant and detailed image.

AJA Video Systems announced its AJA Raw CION camera format can be supported in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, but it is extremely hardware intensive.

Whereas, you will find it is a painful experience to import 4k ProRes to Premiere Pro CC(before 8.2.0) or CS6, CS5, CS4.

I can not get Final Cut Pro to recognize the MXF /XAVC files from a new Sony FS7. Searching online, more than one guys are talking about the XAVC/MXF issues with FCP 7 or FCP X. Searching further, I got more info about XAVC. XAVC is designed for moderate data rates of high resolution, high frame rate material (50p frame rate, 50p and 4K), with an industry standard .MXF file wrapper for use in conventional production workflows.

For faster and fluid XAVC MXF to FCP workflow, a better way is to convert XAVC MXF to ProRes.

To get things done easily, you can pick up the professional XAVC converter app Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, to convert XAVC to "a codec"- Apple ProRes that FCP can read more easily. With it, you can also effortlessly encode/re-encode XAVC files for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLE), including Final Cut Pro X, FCP 6/7, iMovie, Final Cut Express, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, etc. Download the program and follow the XAVC to ProRes conversion process.

How to Get Avid MC (5.5/6.0/6.5/7) Work with Panasonic DMC-G7 4K MP4, 1080p AVCHD

From this article, you can learn the best way to import Panasonic Lumix G7 video into Avid Media Composer (5.5/6.0/6.5/7) by transcoding 4K MP4 and 1080P AVCHD to Mac and Windows Avid MC editing software supported video format.

The G7 is the first G-series camera to shoot 4K videos. Although this capability isn’t new to Panasonic cameras, the G7 is the first to introduce 4K Photo mode. With 4K video, it’s possible to extract an 8-megapixel still. This is useful for action shots, because it lets you record the scene without having to worry about when to press the shutter button; once you’re done shooting, you can go back and find the shot you want (you can do that with a Full HD 1080p video, but, depending on the quality, the most you’ll get is a 2-megapixel photo). On the memory card, all you’ll see are 4K videos saved in MPEG-4 format. You can use Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom to extract stills in the meantime, but you don’t get any of the metadata.

Actually, currently 4K MP4, 1080/60p or 1080/50p footage is a very non-standard format and it’s unsupported in Avid Media Composer.So if we want to edit Panasonic DMC-G7 4K MP4, 1080p AVCHD files in Avid smoothly, the easy workaround is to use 3rd-party conversion tool to rewrap and convert Panasonic G7 footage to a more “editable” format in 1080p for Avid MC.



Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, which is an easy-to-use yet professional 4k Video Converter in Mac OS X. With it, you can effortlessly transcode Panasonic DMC-G7 4K video clips or 1080p AVCHD to DNxHD encoded MOV files, which will create an Avid MC friendly file format keeping the original quality. Besides Avid, this software can also export MPEG-2 for Adobe Premiere Pro, ProRes for Final Cut Pro, Apple InterMediate Codec for iMovie and more NLE systems for native editing. If you meet the 4k issues on Windows, please get Video Converter. Download it and follow the guide to convert Panasonic G7 footage to DNxHD.
