How to Convert XAVC to ASF
I am looking for a converter to make my Sony PMW-F55 XAVC footage to fit into Adobe After Effects. However, the program does not recognize the files from my camcorder. Should I convert XAVC to ASF or something else to fix the problem? – asked by Steven.
XAVC is initially used by Sony CineAlta 4K camcorders: the PMW-F5 and PMW-F55. It supports superb 4K resolution at up to 60 frames per second. Although this file format gains great popularity since its release, there is not much software capable of supporting it, such as Windows Movie Maker, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, and more.
