How to import XAVC to Final Cut Pro X?

How to import XAVC to Final Cut Pro X XAVC is a brand new recording format keeping footages in up to 4K resolution, which is not supported by most of the video editors. So you may ask "Can I edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro X ?" Well, let me tell you the truth, Apple just released FCP 10.0.8, which added support for XAVC HD & 4K. If you want to import XAVC to FCP , make sure to update your Final Cut Pro to the latest version, and then visit Sony's site to download their latest import plugin "PDZK-LT2 vs1.10." Once the plugin is installed, you can then launch FCP X and click the import button to load the footages, and then edit XAVC in FCP X. However, as to the older version Final Cut Pro X, such as the FCP X, there's no official support for XAVC right now. Besides, though FCP X has the XAVC import plugins, it cannot edit the XAVC footages as smoothly as editing the ProRes 422 MOV videos because XAVC is not the default supported format of FCP X. Furthermore, a quick test has showed that FCP X does not optimize the XAVC media. http://www.hdmediaconverter.com/images/xavc.jpg Therefore, if you want to smoothly edit XAVC in Final Cut Pro X without changing the original video quality, the best solution is to transcode XAVC to FCP X ProRes 422 MOV video format.
