💡 Use these MAH files to "rough cut" your video on a tablet or phone while traveling, then swap them for the high-res versions when you're back at your workstation!

These are standard proxy or "normal" resolution video files created alongside high-quality footage. Sony cameras (like the RX10, A77, or Alpha series) often generate these for specific reasons:

You’ll typically find these in a specific folder on your SD card, often labeled 100ANV01 or similar, separate from the high-res "Private" or "M4ROOT" folders.

If your editing software (like Lightroom ) says "Preview unavailable," it may be struggling with the Sony metadata folder structure rather than the file itself.

If you want to know how to these or link them as proxies in a specific editor, just let me know which software you're using.

They use standard H.264 encoding, making them playable on almost any device without heavy processing power. 🛠 Quick Tips
