How-to: Edit MP4 in Sony Movie Studio

MP4 & Sony Movie Studio issue

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.

How to Get FCP X/7 Work with All MP4 Video files

According to official spec, we can clearly find that Final Cut Pro X/7 support MP4 files although, sometimes still we encounter various issues when importing MP4 to Final Cut Pro X/7. That's because Final Cut Pro X/7 are only confined to MP4 encoded with H.264 currently, if your MP4 video encoded with other codecs which are unfriendly with Final Cut Pro X/7, you'll fail to edit MP4 files on Final Cut Pro X/7.

When comes to MP4 video, Final Cut Pro X/7 can accept most of them, like Flip MP4, Sony bloggie MP4, YouTube MP4, etc. However, this doesn't always work. There are still dozen of .mp4 files can't be imported into the Final Cut Pro X/7.

In fact, weather you can put MP4 into Final Cut Pro X/7 or not all depends on what codec inside the .MP4 files. MP4 is a video container format which may contain different codecs like MPEG-4, H.264, DivX, H.263, etc. Though Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X update to import MP4 video, it only support MP4 encoded with H.264. 

If the MP4 is encoded with other video codec, Final Cut Pro X/7 will still fail to import MP4. We need to find another way to perform the task. As we all know, the most compatible video codec for Final Cut Pro X/7 is Apple ProRes, then transocoding MP4 files to ProRes with a third party program is an easy way to edit MP4 videos in FCP.

Of course, to do the video conversion, you need a professional app. Here the professional MP4 to FCP Video Converter for Mac is strongly recommended. Named Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (El Capitan included). It is able to transcode XAVC files to FCP compatible ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes Proxy, ProRes 422 LT, ProRes 4444 video.
