EX1 footage convertion - more like translation

Posted by lw on 4:19 PM

We brought an Sony EX1 camera a little while back and while using Adobe After Effects there were some real issues with being able to edit the footage. We would get black frames all the time, random ones. You could edit them out, but lots more would appear. The answer I finally found was to extract the video (m2v) and audio (wav) out of the mp4 container. Attached is the setup and files needed for that. So edit the file locations in the ExToMpeg2.cmd file to reflect where you have put the files. Then just drop and mp4 files into the ToConvert folder and double click the .cmd file and they will get extracted to the Converted folder, all ready and able to be used in After Effects or other app.


PS I can't take credit for all of this, I was initially tipped off by ?? a while ago. All respect should go to them, as they did the brainy work.

PPS actually you can't attach in Blogger can you? Can you?
Give me an email and I will send the files if you want them.
