1. How to Import Sony PMW-F55/F5 XAVC to Adobe Premiere Pro?
Question: Trying to get 1080p XAVC footage from Sony PMW-F5 to
work in Premiere Pro CS6(Mac), but when I try to do anything with
it, it crashes. Apparently I need a plug-in. Looked at Rovi Totalcode
but it’s $350 and only for a PC.
XAVC, a new camera recording format announced by Sony, supports
to record 4K resolution video at up to 60 fps. However, XAVC is still
not as popular as other kinds of video formats such as AVCHD and
MXF. So when you deal with XAVC footage, for example, import
Sony XAVC to Adobe Premiere Pro or other Mac professional video
editing applications, you may often encounter some format
incompatibility or video/audio synchronization problems.
There are some solutions for you to solve above mentioned
problem, for example, you can download some third-party plug-in
like Rovi Totalcode for Adobe Premiere Pro, however, you may find
that this plug-in is very pricey, in addition, it only works on
Windows but not on Mac. The best solution I’ve found would be
transcoding XAVC to a more compatible format for your Adobe
Premiere Pro, for example, MPEG-2 or other formats.
