Sony MPEG Workflow–Capture Sony F900 footage to Final Cut Pro(X) on Mac
Summary:Follow this article to know how to convert Sony F900 video to FCP Apple ProRes MOV for editing.
"I'm getting conflicting advice, need someone to clear this up! We've shot a documentary in all HD (Sony f900 23.9 so far, but are going to several small towns where photographers don't have the experience or access to this camera. What will be most compatible in FCP for editing... they have access to Sony HX500/ p2 cards, DVCpro cams, digibeta."
The Sony F900, which is a great camera, shoots on HDCAM. There's no codec associated with HDCAM; it's an "uncompressed" (that's a figure of speech) format like Digibeta. The output on the back of an HDCAM deck is an HDSDI spigot. When you capture that footage for editing, you're going to have to put it into some codec. Good choices would be 8-bit uncompressed and ProRes 422.
