# Rovi Totalcode may help you import XAVC to Premiere, but it cost about $350 and it only works on Windows.
# Resolve can quickly convert the files from XAVC to ProRes or DNx, but it works best when you have a dedicated GPU on board for processing so if your Mac is older it probably will struggle.
# DaVinci lite only exports 23.97 or 24, so if you record video at 30 or 60, your output will be out of sync. # Sony's content browser does not export.
# Premiere Pro 6.5 does not support XAVC codec.
