Importing MP4 files from Canon XA40 with CS6

I just bought a Canon XA40 camcorder.  It shoots MP4.  I am using CS6.  It will let me import the file, however when I try to open it to edit it, it just says 'media pending' and never opens.  Does CC support these files (both 1080 and 4K)?

When upgrading hardware, in this case a camera, one usually needs to upgrade the software as well;

Premiere CC won't have issues with the files. Providing your machine is powerful enough to handle CC.

Try changing the mxf extention to mpg.

Are these 4K intra frame?

Thanks. Some were 4k, others 1920 x 1080.   I was just testing the different settings.  I did discover I could use Adobe media encoder to change them to .mov.  and that seemed to work.  But that will be very time consuming when I go to edit a 30 to 40 minute project using hundreds of clips!  I'm going to need software that will let me import them as they are.

Try changing the extention instead of transcoding

changing the extension didn't help.  And when I went back to encode some more practice files, I couldn't get Adobe Media Encoder to work with them either.  So I'm afraid upgrading to CC is my only option.   It's too bad Adobe no longer offers a one-time buy-in software --  this is only a hobby for me -- I'm just making memories of our trips, so I'm not making any money.  And I'm retired, so I'm not earning a paycheck to support my hobby!  Thanks for the help.
