Issues working with a6500 XAVC-S 4K files in iMovie
“Hi all, I have a new Sony a6500 camera, which records 4K footage using XAVC S codec. I’ve learned that this is a consumer codec for Sony’s consumer cameras. iMovie is able to recognize and load the 4K footage, but the process is very choppy. Does iMovie natively support XAVC-S codec? How can I edit a6500 XAVC-S 4K footage in iMovie smoothly? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.”
Actually, Apple has announced support for XAVC-S codec since iMovie version 10.07. If you couldn’t handle a6500 XAVC-S 4K files fluidly, it properly because you are using an old version of iMovie or your system is not powerful enough to work with 4K files. In that case, we would recommend converting the footage to a format that is edit-friendly for iMovie, such as Apple InterMediate Codec, iMoive’s favorite editing codec, which iMovie will recognize and handle well. Here’s how.
Hey Steve, Sony a6500 FW 1.06 was released May 16, 2019 – long before Mac OS 10.15 was released. Never, ever, ever, update to the next Mac OS until ALL your Sony camera & lens firmware is absolutely, positively up to date.
