PrP - Additional Processes - Transcode F3 Media
Davinci Resolve (version 11 and earlier) does not like to communicate with the RAW footage shot by the F3 camera (codec: .XDCAM, container: .MP4).This process will unwrap the XDCAM file from the .MP4 container and place it into a .mov container, allowing all applications to read the media without issue.It is important to note that the process of transcoding does not alter the footage in any way - if you look at the size of the original file and the size of the transcoded file, they will be exactly the same. | |
