The Sony PXW-FS5 looks to take the best of the FS7 and package it into a more approachable camera. It can record videos in your choice of XAVC-L or AVCHD. While due to its codec incompatibility with Premiere Pro, many people who want to polish the Sony PXW-FS5 footage with Premiere Pro, have suffered a lot from this trouble:
'Hi! I was told the Sony FS5 footage can natively ingest into Premiere CS6(Mac). But my footage is crashing every time I try to import. Any ideas?'
Currently, Premiere Pro CS6 will not natively support XAVC, but Adobe Premiere Pro CC, the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro, has added support for this new camera format. To import XAVC to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and its previous versions, you can download Rovi Totalcode, a Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/CS5.5/CS6 which has perfect support for Sony’s 4K XAVC format. However, this third-party plug-in will cost you a lot of money. In addition, it only works on Windows but not Mac.
Fortunately, there are still some cost effective but simple ways for you to import XAVC to Adobe Premiere Pro, namely, converting XAVC files to MPEG-2, ensuring the maximum editing efficiency and quality when working with all kinds of Premiere Pro. Along with some help from a top XAVC converter like Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac, it can be done quickly and easily.
Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use XAVC to Adobe Premiere Pro Converter on Mac. With it, you can convert PXW-FS5, Sony FS7, Sony F5, Sony F55, PXW-X70, PXW-X160, PXW-X180, PXW-X500 and more recorded XAVC videos to Adobe Premiere Pro compatible MPEG-2 video without any quality loss. What's more, this XAVC converter can also transcode XAVC clips for editing in Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, iMovie, etc flawlessly. The equivalent Windows version is Brorsoft Video Converter, which can encode XAVC files for Windows editing.
