Some things I found in my own searches. Hoping someone could help me back these theories up.

Handbrake is free, and i think it can handle xavcs.

Also possibly ffmpeg streamclip I think might handle it.

Someone else mentioned “media converter”, which I think I also recently acquired for fre……

For $35 you can get “xavc converter for (Mac)”, which I hear does the job well and is very flexible.

None of these theories have I tested personally, but I lok forward to trying it out soon.

Hope you found the answer already. Pp cs6 DOES NOT support xavcs. Possibly ffmpeg can transcode them for free otherwise there are a few other third party transcodes that will convert them for you.

Premiere cc and fcpx support it though. Upgrade your suite for $30 a month……

Justin, would you elaborate a little more for me on your comment? I use ffmpeg for encoding often enough. I am looking to get a Sony a7s, and am bummed to hear prem pro doesn’t support xavc s. so you’re saying you can take mxf files from the xavc and transcode them in ffmpeg? Is this going to help me with my Sony? I am also bummed to have to transcode all video files……..
