The Sony A7s is a small full-frame 12 Megapixel mirrorless stills camera which is also capable of shooting 4K video while delivering it to an external recorder in 8 bit 4:2:2. Unlike the a7 and a7R, the latest model is not constrained by the AVCHD standard, also offering the XAVC S system, with bitrate of up to 50Mbps. Thus, here comes the problem that XAVC S video format is hardly compatible with many NLEs, like Premiere .etc. In this page, we will offer a simple solution to edit Sony A7S XAVC S files in Adobe Premiere Pro.

XAVC S with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 level 5.2, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec is much more than a video format that Premiere can support. According to our own experience and other user's feedback, to transfer Sony A7S XAVC S footage to Adobe Premiere, the best workaround here is to convert XAVC S to MPEG-2, the most compatible video format for Adobe Premiere (no matter Pro CC, CS6, CS5, or CS4).
