Summary: If you want to make a short film from Canon XA30/XA35 AVCHD footage with Adobe After Effects CC and prefer fluent playback, you’d better to do some work in advance. Here is an easy way to solve this problem.
Canon has announced a pair of new digital video cameras that are aimed directly at professional videographers called the XA35 and XA30. Both of the cameras use the new HD CMOS PROSensor. That new sensor makes both cameras portable and capable of capturing high-quality video in low light usage scenarios. Like the previous models, they record AVCHD or MPEG4 format video at resolutions up to 1080p and at frame rates of 24, 30, or 60 (23.98, 29.97, 59.94) fps.
Although Adobe announced that After Effects natively supports AVCHD importing, when users want to edit Canon XA35/XA30 Full HD AVHCD/MP4 Videos in After Effects CC, they still get stuck in importing Canon AVCHD/MP4 footage to AE. As MP4 encoded AVCHD video is highly compressed, good for transporting, but poor for editing. By the way, in order to play AVCHD videos on PC or mac smoothly, your processor must be very powerful. In a word, if you want to make a short film from AVCCHD footage with Adobe After Effects CC and prefer fluent playback, you’d better to do some work in advance. Here is an easy way to solve this problem.
