Does Adobe Premiere adds Sony F55/F5 4K XAVC support?

Following Guide on Sony F55/Sony F5 Workflow for Getting 4K XAVC Files into Premiere Pro.

Sony PMW-F55/F5 are two large-single-sensor cine cameras. Each cameras record XAVC having a colour depth of 10-bits and 4:2:2 chroma subsampling. Sony PMW-F55 can record XAVC with 4K resolution at 30 fps at 300 Mbit/s and 2K resolution at 30 fps at one hundred Mbit/s. And Sony PMW-F5 can record XAVC with 2K resolution at 30 fps at one hundred Mbits/s.

About the XAVC format, how much do you know? Well, the XAVC format is not yet widely adopted in the marketplace. After shooting HD XAVC video files with 4K resolution, you may plan to conduct post production to the PMW-F55 (or PMW-F5) XAVC footages with your editors like Adobe Premiere Pro. Are you troubled with how to edit Sony 4K XAVC with Premiere Pro as below:

Wondering if anyone can help. PLEASE HELP!!!

Trying to get 1080p XAVC footage from an F5 to work in Pr CS6 (Mac). It imports, but when I try to do anything with it, it crashes. Apparently I need a plug in. Looked at Rovi Totalcode but it's $350 and only for a PC.

Does anyone know what I can possibly do???"

Because F55/F5 records videos in XAVC format, which can be not accepted by Adobe Premiere, several users locate it tough to edit such XAVC files, so, right here I'd prefer to introduce a simple approach to do the job with importing Sony F55/F5 4K XAVC to Premiere Pro.

Required tool:

Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac - A professional XAVC to Premiere Pro Converter



PS. If you run PC, pls download and buy XAVC  Converter

The Mac XAVC Converter for Premiere Pro provides customers with several simple editing functions, including cropping, trimming, deinterlacing, watermarking, adding special effects, and audio replacing, which help you do a fast and necessary editing on your footage before importing them to Premiere Pro Media Composer. It also supports versatile output options for iPad, Android tablets and mainstream editing software.

How to Convert Sony F55/F5 4K XAVC Videos to Premiere Pro 

Step 1. Run the Mac XAVC Converter as the perfect Pro ProRes to MPEG Converter, and add your XAVC footage into this program.

Step 2. Click on "Format" bar and select output format from drop-down list. Premiere Pro prefers AVI or MPEG format for editing.

Here I suggest you follow "Adobe Premiere Pro/Sony Vegas" to select "MPEG-2 (*.mpg)" or "WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv)" format. You can also choose "Format -> HD Video -> MPEG-2 HD Video(*.mpg)" as out format for Premiere Pro.



Step 3. You can control output video quality by setting resolution, bitrate and frame rate in "Settings". For preserving 5.1 channels surround sound, set audio channels to "5.1 channels" instead of Stereo. To keep 1080p full HD high quality, you can set video bitrate up and Size to 1920x1080.

Step 4. Click on the "Convert" button to start converting XAVC video files to Premiere Pro supported MPEG format. By ticking off the checkbox before "Merge into one file" option, you can combine all the checked videos into one file.

When conversion is completed, you can click "Open" to get the Premiere Pro MPEG files from its default output folder.

Now open up Adobe Premiere Pro and you're ready to import XAVC recordings to Premiere Pro CS4/CS5/CS6 for post-production~

Premiere Pro Tutorial: Create Highly Stylized Looks in Your NLE

We've been talking quite a bit about Adobe over the past few months, as they've announced new versions of all their major desktop applications andended the Creative Suiteas we know it. Even though some folks are none too thrilled with Adobe right now due to the complete switch to the Creative Cloud, they still make what many consider to be the rising star of NLEs with Premiere Pro, and it's more packed than ever with features to make filmmaker's lives easier. Today we're going to explore two of the lesser known color effects that come with Premiere Pro, the Leave Color and Change to Color effects. While these might not be something you will use day-to-day, they're an excellent option when you need to create some highly stylized shots at a moment's notice. So without any further ado, here are the tutorials, straight from Creative COW

                                   

The most obvious example of how effects like these can be used is Robert Rodriguez's Sin City. However, they can also be used in much more subtle and sophisticated ways. For example, by layering your video tracks and putting different instances of the leave color effect (alongside another color effect such as the Three Way Color Corrector or RGB Curves) on each track, you can push various chrominance values in the image to their extremes while leaving others under-saturated. By using the Change to Color effect alongside a method such as this one, you can completely warp your color palette into something entirely different from what you shot (although your DP may never speak with you again). 

Of course, if you work with moving or handheld footage frequently, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve will be better solutions for creating these types of effects due to their advanced tracking functionality. However, being able to stay in your NLE and create these effects quickly can be an invaluable tool for the one-man-band types of filmmakers who are on tight deadlines, as well as for bigger productions where the producer or director want to see some temp effects before the picture lock is sent off to the VFX and color departments. 

Quite frankly, there are some astounding (and downright bizarre) things that you can do with color inside of Premiere Pro. By better knowing all of the color effects inside of Premiere and how they interact with one another, you can better prepare yourself for anything and everything that a director or client could ever ask of you. If you want more of these fantastic Creative Cow tutorials, hop on over to their Premiere Pro Techniques series and get to it. 

What do you guys think? Have you ever used these effects, and to what degree? Do you have any suggestions for how to creatively apply them? Let us know in the comments.
