Summary: Facing problems when importing and editing Sony PMW-F3 XDCAM EX MP4 files in Adobe Premiere Pro? Here we offer two solutions for you to load Sony F3footage to Premiere Pro on Mac easily. Check the solution now.
PMW-F3 (PMW-F3K) is a hot product from Sony XDCAM EX lineup. It records 1920 x 1080 full HD images using the ¡°MPEG-2 Long GOP¡± codec, which conforms to the MPEG-2 MP@HL compression standard. ¡°MPEG-2 Long GOP¡± is a mature codec¡ªalso adopted by the XDCAM HD and HDV 1080i series of products¡ªwhich enables users to record stunning HD video and audio with highly efficient, reliable data compression. The only problem comes when the users tried to import Sony PMW-F3 native MP4 to Premiere Pro on Mac OS X.
You may find that Premiere Pro doesn¡¯t read raw Sony XDCAM EX PMW-F3 files properly - no audio is imported; or sometime it even says that ¡®the file could be damaged or an unsupported format¡¯. The main reason is that the XDCAM EX MP4 is not the best editing format for Adobe Premiere Pro. Well, here we¡¯d like to offer two solutions for you to resolve the issues.
Solution 1: Transfer the PMW-F3 XDCAM EX MP4 into MXF
You could transfer the XDCAM EX MP4 footage back into usable MXF files using the Sony XDCAM Browser. It seems to work OK as far as we¡¯ve got with the projects. Trouble is, storage for bigger projects (like the 300GB footage project we¡¯ve just shot) can be a problem. And we have to note that Adobe PP can¡¯t handle the MXF files well all the time, especially the older versions.
Solution 2: Convert Sony PMW-F3 MP4 into a Premiere Pro highly friendly format
You can transcode Sony PMW-F3 MP4 files to Premiere Pro natively supported formats (MPG/WMV/MOV are highly recommended). Along with some help from third-party software, it can be done effortlessly. Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac is recommended here.
Overall, the program is the best Mac Video Converter for Sony XDCAM native MP4 footage. With it, you can effortlessly transcode Sony PMW-F3/F3K MP4 to MPEG-2 or MOV, which will create an Adobe Premiere friendly file format keeping the original quality. Besides Premiere, this software can also export DNxHD for Avid, Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro, AIC for iMovie/FCE and more NLE systems for native editing under Mac OS X including Mountain Lion and Mavericks. Brorsoft Video Converter is the alternative choice for encoding PMW-F3 videos to Premiere Pro on Windows PC. Now download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
