Edit Sony Z100 4K XAVC in Sony Vegas 13

Summary: Sony PXW-Z100 XAVC is not the preferred format by Sony Vegas 13. To avoid these problems or limit, the best way is transcoding 4K XAVC footage to a more editing-friendly format.

Cameras that can record in 4K are not new: Sony has the F55, Canon the EOS 1D-C and C500, and there are the Reds. Sony recently added 4K as an option to the F5 and FS700, and the GoPro can even shoot 4K, albeit briefly. But the Sony PXW-Z100 has few competitors, on price. The EOS 1D-C is almost twice the price of the PXW-Z100, and the Canon’s price is body only. The Sony, however, is expected to sell for around ￡4500, a similar price to the 1080p, PMW-200.

After shooting videos with Sony PXW-Z100, how to do the post editing to those XAVC videos on Sony Vegas 13 or other editors is really a headache for many users. “Anyone having an issue getting Vegas 13 to accept the 4K XAVC clips from the new Sony PXW-Z100? Why do the Sony camera divisions and SCS not work together to ensure that their own NLE can accept their own camera footage when a camera is released. It’s crazy.”

XAVC allows for a wide range of content production including intra frame recording and long group of pictures (GOP) recording. Although Sony states that the Vegas 13 supports native XAVC editing, we find it’s not easy to edit XAVC in Sony Vegas 13. Why Sony Vegas 13 won’t import Z100 4K XAVC files? Sony Vegas 13 supported file formats may give you some clues:

Saves: H.264, AA3, FLAC, AC3, AIF, ATRAC, AVC, AVCHD, AVI, DPX, EXR, HDP, MOV, MP4, WMV, MP3, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, M2T, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), MVC, OGG, Panasonic MXF (AVC-Intra), PCA, W64, WAV, WMA, XAVC S, XAVC Intra MXF

To ingest 4K XAVC to Sony Vegas 13 perfectly, Pavtube Video Converter is highly recommended to convert 4K XAVC to Sony Vegas 13 native format- MPG. No matter what version of the apps you are applying, and what Windows system you are working on, this video converter will assist you to import XAVC files to Sony Vegas 13 smoothly.

But if you are not good at it, you’d better use the default parameters, they will ensure you a good balance between file size and image quality basically. You can change the resolution, bit rate, frame rate as you need.
