Does Adobe Premier Pro (latest CC version) support XAVC-S Codec? If not, what software can I use to make it compatible?
Hi RS,
Does Adobe Premier Pro (latest CC version) support XAVC-S Codec? If not, what software can I use to make it compatible?
Yes, support for XAVC-S was added in Premiere Pro CC.1 (7.1).
Thanks,
Kevin

Gee, did a quick google of this ... and whaddya know, over on the Sony site they've a nice long pdf on XAVC format, nature, using in-camera, and with various NLE's.
https://www.sony.ru/res/attachment/file/62/1237492960962.pdf
From page 25 of that pdf ... well, you can find it now and read it yourself I think ...

Did you actually read the resource? The heading of that particular page is ...
"XAVC 4K/HD and XAVC-S with ADOBE"
That would seem to be inclusive of your footage?

I think the answer is yes.
Can you upload a short clip for testing?

I don't have any footage for testing. I ordered the Sony AX1 today. From the resource R. Neil Haugen provided it looks like Adobe may support it natively.

Or if you don't mind to try some converters , then reload them into your premiere?

Converters means generation loss.
What is the point of having a NLE that works native...

even some nles say they support the foramt like xavc/xavc s natively, still during the loading progress, some unknow prolbmes happen.... For me , of course, I don't like convert my HD videos , buecause the quality loss (even you can't tell from your eyes) but if you have been driven crasy by this problem, then you may like to have a try....

Yes, XAVC-S does work with the latest version of Premiere Pro.
I use a Sony AX-100 and an RX-10, and all the footage imports just fine.

Hi Calagari. Can I ask what specific sequence you use for that, and what is the bitrate of the footage you use? And by any chance, do you if it's possible to use XAVC-S footage with AVCHD footage both on the same timeline? Thanks.

Hi Portpass1974,
When I'm editing 4K I use the New Sequence from Clip command, then Premiere creates a Red Cinema timeline sized to 3840x2160.
That footage is 60 Mbps.
When using XAVC S HD at 1080p, that footage is 50 Mbps, which I use in an AVCHD sequence. And yes, AVCHD and XAVC S work together just fine on the same timeline.

Hi Calagari. Thanks so much for your reponse. I only asked since I'm thinking of buying the Sony a7II, which films at 50 Mbps, of course. For output, I assume I can output that timeline in Media Encoder at, for example, 1080p and 16 mbps MP4 for YouTube or Vimeo? Also, I assume that 50 Mbps video takes longer to render than 24 Mbps? Thanks again.

Yes, you certainly can export a 1080p MP4 file in Media Encoder for YouTube. And it does take a little longer to export 50 Mbps sequences, but not by too much. Cheers!

Hi Calagari,
does your answer means that if I want to import my XAVC-S HD video from my RX-10 I won't have any quality loss if I use the AVCHD mode when creating the new sequence?
Thanks !

I have a Sony AX- 100. I record in XAVC-S 4 K and a low resolution file. This because I can import 4K in Premiere but my computer is too slow show it real time. I edit the low resolution film 1280 x 720 on in a sequence of 1920 x 1080 and adapt all the files to the resolution of the timeline ( all Pal NTSC my be a little different) and when I am satified I simple change all the files for the high resolution one( by changing the name of the directory ) and export my movie for blue ray.
It would be nice if you could export it to Pro res for the Cinema but at my studio I cannot see 4 K in full resolution so it has no use ( yet).
I use a PC with Window 8.1 and Premiere Pro CS6

Can XAVC-S be transcoded from Premiere Pro CC.1(7.1) to another finishing format like ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHD? Can Media Encoder do this? Thanks! This codec is a pain.

If PrPro can edit a codec, it can normally transcode from it to something else. As Kevin notes that PrPro can as of that "ish" edit it, it will also be able to transcode also.

I've been able to play and transcode XAVC-S 1080p files without a problem in Premiere 6.0.
