I have many mp4 clips, but they won't open in Sony Movie Studio 11. Is there a way to get them in and work with them in a quick and lossless way?
I'm trying to import footage (.MP4 format) that was shot on a Sony EX1 camera into Sony Movie Studio. Unfortunately Movie Studio won't allow me to import it and an error message comes up saying; "Warning: An error occurred while loading the project file. The file is most likely corrupted or of an unknown format."
Movie Studio is consistently showing a black preview screen and black rendering of MP4 clips after I put a certain number of source files in my project media bins or clips on the timeline, and the program even crashes and shuts itself down. Although the video goes black in the preview and also the renders, the audio still plays perfectly fine.
Why, why, why?
Actually, Sony Movie Studio supports MP4, but it only prefers MPEG-4 codec instead of others. However, MP4 as a container format can include various video codecs. So if your MP4 files are not accepted by Sony Movie Studio, it's probably because of the video codec incompatibility.
What video format can import into Movie Studio?
Supported format: AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, OMA, PCA, PNG, QuickTime, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV, XAVC S.
Yes, you can convert MXF video to Movie Studio editable format.
As I know, MPEG-2 is a good editing format for Sony Movie Studio. So, you can convert MP4 footage to MPEG-2! This is the easiest and most efficient way to make Sony Movie Studio work with MP4 files without crashes or other glitches.
