Cannot import Sony XAVC-S high fps footage

I shoot with Sony FDR-X1000 and X3000 4k at 100 Mbs, HD at 50 Mbs. No problem importing this footage into Premiere Pro CS6 or CC2014. But when I try to import any footage with high fps like 200 fps or 240 fps then it only imports the audio and tells me unknown format cannot import.

The once I cannot import are shot in 720p at 200 fps or 240fps with a bitrate of 100Mbs.

I have no problem importing them into Cyberlink Powerdirector, but I can only export it there at 120fps and 40Mbs. So I loose a lot of detail for slow motion editing.

Does anyone have a clue to why I cannot import the footage and what I should do to be able to import it???

Hi everyone,

I have just recorder cycling criterium at 240 fps and someone is waiting for a movie but now I investigated that Adobe have known a problem with importing high speed data at 2015, 2 years after the problem is still on. Could you tell me why?? I understand that not everything we can catch but you know the problem for years and nothing happened

Waiting for response

Adobe has limited resources.  They have to prioritize not only bugs, but new features.

What if you change the extension to mp4?

My guess would be they're just not supported.
