“Hi, there. I have just purchased a Sony a7 II last month, which is a super-compact mirrorless camera according to Sony. I’ve been using it to film a lot over the last 2 weeks and now I want to import a7 II footage to Final Cut Pro to do some basic editing, but it seems that FCP can not open the a7 II XAVC S movies at all. Why? Can anyone help me out please? MacBook Pro.”
