The Action Cam Mini HDR-AZ1 fits nicely inside the palm, yet it delivers excellent video using Sony’s XAVC S compression format. Well, here comes the problem that XAVC S video format is hardly compatible with many NLEs, like Premiere Pro CC.
This Cam can records video in XAVC S Codec, which is intended as a more economic and simpler consumer codec, and more appropriate to simpler editing and Internet streaming applications. The new version 8.2.0 of Adobe Premiere Pro CC can natively support XAVC S 4K and HD. Whereas, you will find it is a painful experience to import Sony AZ1 XAVC S to Premiere Pro CC (before 8.2.0) or CS6, CS5, CS4.
The basic reason is that XAVC S, the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec is much more than a video format that Premiere can support. In this situation, maybe an upgrade of the Adobe version could help. Still stuck with unsuccessful attempts? Perhaps you need to convert Sony XAVC S to MPEG-2, which is best accepted by Premiere.
Actually, it’s not so hard to do the trick. With a professional XAVC S converter- Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac, you can get the work done easily. This software is able to convert XAVC S files from Sony Action Cam Mini HDR-AZ1 to Premiere Pro CC fully compatible format and keep original quality at the mean while.
