Edit XAVC/XAVC-S in EDIUS Pro 7/8

Summary: A quick and easy solution to make your XAVC/XAVC-S video compatible with EDIUS Pro 7/8 with the maximum editing quality and efficiency.

Sony had expanded XAVC to the consumer market with the release of XAVC S, which supports resolution ups to 3840*2160 with MP4 container format and AAC or LCPM for the audio. The XAVC S format has been used in the Sony FDR-AX100 4K Ultra HD consumer camcorder and Sony HDR-AS100V action camera. The Sony A7S as well as some consumer stills camera with movie support also offer XAVC S.

Sony XAVC/XAVC-S camera and camcorder models:
PMW-F55, PMW-F5, PWM-400, PMW-300, PXW-X180, PXW-Z100, FDR-AX1, FDR-AX100, Alpha A7S, HDR-AS100V

The latest version of EDIUS vesion 7.41 and its later version supports all types of XAVC and XAVC-S. But for its former versions such as EDIUS Pro 6.5 or, people will often complained that they get only audio but no video files when importing the XAVC video footage to EDIUS Pro for editing. This error can be caused by the unrecognized codec contained in your XAVC video footage.
