Am I missing something? I have a Sony a7s and record using the xavcs codec, import directly into adobe premier cs6 and it edits just fine! Have I been doing something wrong and not realized?

Where you see a problem?

The problem is I have been reading on the internet that xavcs does not work on premier cs6 and you need the newer creative cloud software to edit xavcs but as mentioned above it works fine for me on s6 thus making me think I'm doing something wrong and I am not actually recording in xavcs!

Don`t worry. It definitelly works on CS6 very well.

Works fine on CS5.5 as well

Yeah I read it didn't work also. Yet when I bought the Sony AS100V Action Camera that records XAVC-S it worked fine too! :)
