Premiere Pro CC won’t read Sony X1000V 720P XAVC S
“Hi, guys, I’m having issues working with Sony X1000V footage recorded at 720P 240fps. 1080P and 4k footage works fine. I recorded at 240 fps for the slow motion ability. It looks like Adobe Premiere Pro CC may not be fully supporting XAVC S yet. Is there anything I can do to get Premiere Pro CC importing X1000V 720P files? I have a lot of files recorded in this format. Thanks for any help.”

If you insist on working with X1000V 720P 240FPS XAVC S footage in Premiere Pro CC, we would recommend converting the footage to a format that is best suitable for use in Premiere Pro CC first, such as DNxHD, ProRes or something else. Read on to learn a quick guide on how to convert X1000V 720P XAVC S to Premiere Pro CC recognizable files.
