In fact, Avid has supported Sony’s MPEG2 format for many years now, and was first out of the gate to support XAVC HD. Like most Avid workflows these days, video is imported via Avid Media Access (AMA). To make this work for both MPEG2 & XAVC HD you’ll need to install the XAVC/XDCAM Plug-in for Avid (PDZK-MA2).
Once installed, launch Avid Media Composer and you can import your Sony XAVC videos in usual. However, it’s a pity we still find that there are still some issues occurred from time to time during the importing and editing process.
We find that with the plug-in, Avid still can’t ingest long footage. And what we need to keep in mind that 4K XAVC footage is not currently supported, so you will get an error if you try to import it. Plus, Avid does not have a 60p project format so you will most likely be working in a 60i (interlace) type project.
To avoid these problems, it will be better to transcode Sony XAVC to a more “edit” friendly codec.

I still have the issues when I worked the Sony EX3 footage from my friend in CS6. The program can’t read the EX3 mp4 material, and I have no other editing applications on my iMac, is there any solution?

I have a JVC GZ-VX700 is also capable of recording high-resolution AVCHD full HD 1,920 x 1,080 videos. However, I found that when they import the AVCHD 1920×1080 MTS files to FCP via Log and Transfer, the files will be very “interlecy” or they even can not import the videos to FCP. I’ve get rid of the issue with the help of a best JVC Everio MTS Converter. It can be useful to you also.

If you wanna edit single mts files with Adobe Premiere Pro without whole file structure of the camera, you will need to convert MTS files to a MPEG-2 or other Premiere Pro natively supported format. Or just connect your cam to computer to import the whole file structure. Premiere Pro can natively recognize and ingest the MTS files.

A great sharing that expands my knowledge on XDCAM Files workflow.
As far as what I’ve got know, XDCAM HD422 products record and play back high definition video with 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolutions using MPEG HD422 compression and the XDCAM HD422 video footage is wrapped in an MXF container, which is can not natively imported by many professional video editing application including the Avid Media Composer. So, it will be a bit hard when importing XDCAM HD422 video footage with Avid MC.
To import my PMW-500 footage into Avid MC, I’ve tired the AMA link, but the MXF files will not directly import into ver 4 or my ver 5. Finally I end up transcoding the MXF to Avid DNxHD format– it works natively in Media Composer.

I’ve successfully uploading my gopro videos to Youtube after editing with Sony Vegas Pro, although a bit hard process.
I have a problem with my Sony Vegas Pro 11. When I open a new project I can set the properties to 1080p 60fps without any problems. But as soon as I want to render my video Vegas doesn’t want to render it with 60fps even when I customize the settings. So that’s the point here. Plus, my GoPro MP4 video is not supported by Vegas Pro well, what I’ve done is to convert Gopro video to mpeg-2 before importing to Sony Vegas.

Canon C100 produces MTS videos, while C300 generates MXF files. For Sony Vegas Pro, neither MTS nor MXF format is ideal for editing work. If you wanna get a smooth playback and editing workflow of your C100 & C300 footage into Vegas Pro, you can choose to transcode these files first. Of course, there are some plug-in exist there such as the Canon XF Utility for linking MXF files to editing program, but it does not work here.

Read around, if the AMA can’t help you, a second optimal choice is to transcode Canon XF100 mxf files for Avid. DNxHD seems to be the best editing codec for Avid. Why do you still have problems? Have you set the proper video frame rate and bitrate while transcoding the files. I got a output DNxHD mov output with 30fps frame rate. It worked perfectly in my Avid program.

Same opinion with Michael’s. Now, you can use AMA to the AVCHD media directly. If you still wanna try editing at a DNxHD codec from these sources, you can always try DNxHD 36, which is only half more than your original codec and ensures the efficiency while working AVCHD files with Avid MC. I got some Sony Handycam AVCHD files from PJ780 to Avid, but the AMA can’t help me get the files. I had to get transcode my 60 AVCHD to DNxHD codec for smooth editing in Avid. I got the quick fix from a thread https://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=301&f=2171&t=11703984

I have been using Sony Vegas for over one year to edit my MTS files from Sony camera and have not met any problem. Recently, I was asked to edit some .mxf files, shot by Canon XF300, but found that my Vegas can not read these files. After googling, some users give the solutions. First, we can use the Canon XF Utility to import clips from the CF cards into virtual hard drives if wanna retain al the extra camera information. I tried the canon plug-in, a bit frustrated. I still can’t import my Canon mxf files to Sony Vegas successfully. Then I had to try the other choice- transcode the MXF clips into less compressed MPEG-2, which works great for editing in Vegas. Yes, it helped me out. I can get the output files into Sony Vegas with smooth editing. The whole importing and editing process was much easier than what I’ve expected.
