“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.”
