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 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

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.

    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?
