XAVC is not a fresh format yet. You can easily access XAVC videos from Sony PXW-F5, PXW-F55, PXW-Z100, FDR-AX1, etc camera/camcorders. After editing these files, ever tried to upload XAVC to YouTube for sharing with more people? If so, you are in the right place. In the following paragraphs I will teach you how to get XAVC files onto YouTube.

Well, as far as I know, there’s not going to be native support for XAVC codec on YouTube. XAVC can support 4K resolution (4096 X 2160 and 3840 X 2160) at up to 60 frames per second (fps) and uses MXF as the container format. Generally speaking, YouTube accepts video files in FLV, AVI, etc formats. So, in order to upload XAVC to YouTube, the first thing you need do is to convert XAVC to YouTube supported video formats.

GoPro Hero3 Black edition is the second camera I got and the first one for Sport. I love it so far but having a hard time uploading it to YouTube. I recorded some videos but it won’t upload on YouTube. Every time I try it gets stuck at “processing” and then later gives me error video failed to process. When I go to Video manager to check the error it says “Failed (unable to convert video file)”. I am considering isn’t GoPro’s default format accepted by YouTube?

Got more details of the GoPro recorded videos and I got know the GoPro recordings are in H.264 MP4 format in 1080p @ 60fps. Searching from Google and got some recommended solutions. Below is the test of these ways.

Solution 1: Try the GoPro CineForm studio

I have tried to use the Raw file it produces in MP4 then an edited one with the software from GoPro. No Luck.

Solution 2: Change the name of GoPro files

I tried changing the name of the GoPro file before uploading it from my computer. This time try uploading from Chrome, but still failed.
