Import and Work Canon EOS M6 MP4 in Sony Movie Studio

The easy workaround to get Sony Movie Studio work with Canon EOS M6 .MP4 files is to convert H.264 MP4 to MPEG-2 which ensures the best result when using in Sony Movie Studio. 

It's clear that the Canon EOS M6 is an extremely well-featured little camera. Making use of a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, both high-resolution stills and Full HD 1080p/60 video can be recorded. However, no matter which camera you choose from Canon EOS series, it always comes with problems to load the videos to video editing programs such as Sony Movie Studio. Therefore, you will find it a painful experience to import Canon EOS M6 video to Sony Movie Studio for further editing. And there’s a frequently asked question quoted as below. 

"I record some video footage with my Canon EOS M6, then I edit these videos with Sony Movie Studio, but when I import the EOS M6 MP4 to Sony Movie Studio, the video is choppy and there are lags or skipped frames..." 

Actually, the problem lies in the codec, not the format itself. Canon EOS M6 records footage with H.264 codec and save the files in MP4 container format. H.264 is an ideal file type for video capture in an SLR camera; however, the H.264 files need transcoded into a format better suited for Sony Movie Studio. This would usually be MPEG-2. Along with third-party software, you can easily achieve your goal smoothly. 

Brorsoft Video Converter is the utility I recommended here to help you achieve the goal. It offers an optimized preset for Sony Movie Studio for easy access. Besides transcoding Canon EOS MP4 to Movie Studio supported videos with optimized settings while keeping the video quality, the all-in-one and easy-to-use toolkit can convert all other camcoder footage or popular video formats Canon/Nikon DLSR MOV, MXF, XAVC, XAVC S, AVI, WMV, MKV, FLV, M2TS, VOB, etc. to Sony Movie Studio, Sony Vegas Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Windows Movie Maker, etc natively supported video formats with fast encoding speed.
