Issues when importing Sony a7II XAVC files to Avid Media Composer?

”Hi, I’m trying to import video recordings from the new Sony a7 II to Avid MC6. The camera uses a flavor of MP4 that is called XAVC-S. I have tried the traditional importing method, but there’s no go. I have also tried the AMA plug-in created by Sony, unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to support Sony a7 II XAVC-S footage.
