How do Import MP4 files to Premier without it getting glitchy?

My Canon r6 miii is currently set to record video in XS-AVC S YCC422 10-bit (I’m still learning the importance of Codec’s) and my video files are MP4s. When I watch the videos through the camera, all of the video and audio content is perfect. Then I input my SD card into my Mac (os15.3.1) to view the files on either QuickTime Player or Premeir Pro (2026). When doing so, the video now has cuts in the audio where its replaced with loud static, or the audio is fine and the corresponding visuals are glitchy. Every time I load the file, these missing audio/video segments are at different parts.

I’m not sure if this is a codec issue? I’m teaching myself the difference between “compressed” and “mezanine” – to my understanding the content I have is compressed and I’m not sure If that has something to do with it. But how do I open my videos without losing data/making it glitchy? 

I found a downloadable Canon software on their support page called:

Canon XF Utility 3.16.0 for macOS

If you’re familiar with this, is this the correct software to solve this issue and allow me to open my files in Premier without losing data? 

Any help here is greatly appreciated!!

    Maybe someone here will comment that has used this format, however, a quick google search for your codec says:

    The Trade-off: Keep in mind that 10-bit 4:2:2 files are larger and require a faster computer and more storage space to edit smoothly than standard 8-bit 4:2:0 files.

    So, you might say something about your hardware. At least you mentioned it’s on a mac. That’s more than we get initially quite often.

    Hi skillful_judge25f0,

    Welcome to the community! Are you experiencing this issue specifically when playing the media directly from the SD card, or does it also occur when the media is copied to the internal drive and played from there?

    Thanks,
    Sumeet
