Have pre-ordered one for days and just curious if people have been able to work with Leica SL (Typ 601) 4K videos in Avid Media Composer natively yet?
SL (Typ 601) 4K camera can build 4K videos in MP4 and MOV wrapper. A common solution to import SL (Typ 601) 4K files to Avid is to AMA in the footage- but it won’t be 4K. Largest project you can have is 1080p. I have tried my best to make it, frustratingly, no luck.
Actually, most editing programs like Avid Media Composer still use 1080p as primary delivery format and will continue to do so for a long time. An alternative and decent solution is to use a third-party video app to convert SL (Typ 601) 4K clips to Avid Media Composer native format before editing. iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is what most guys recommend.
