I've been handed card copies from a Sony RX100 point and shoot. Wondering about a couple things. Video recorded as 1920 by 1080 at 23.976 to MP4 files. Avid does not like those files for AMA or import. As far as I can tell, there are no AMA related tools to help with this? Is there any tool that can help with this? or in 2016, are we still digging the video files out of Sony's busy card file structure, converting them manually and importing them?
I've downloaded Sony's Catalyst Browse and Prepare, as far as I can see, these offer no advantage over any manual process.
I'm also trying to find the best way to add timecode that in some way related to the file creation time. Canon's THM files have been one way to do that, with video shot on a Canon camera. These Sony files all have an accompanying XML file that seem to hold exactly the info I need. any software take advantage of that?
Also interested in anyone having better experiences doing this in Premiere.
thank you.
