software update

I'd be surprised if it does. The software predates that format. They don't update it, because people don't need it anymore.

if I understand correctly is that sony content management utily doesn't support the XAVC S codec to import.

Now I have downloaded a trial (30 days) from sony content browser verson 2.4.1

When richt clicking on a filder I choose import and I have choosen a XAVC S file (copied this before with copy past in window to pc) but when I try that I get "failed to import the clip"

On my Sd card I recorded some original XAVC S footage but I can't import this? I can't select import when right clicking this.

So how can I import XAVC S footage so I can edit this in sony vegas pro 13?

Vegas Pro is on version 15. Perhaps you just need to upgrade? I don't use Vegas, so I couldn't tell you, but there seems to be a fair bit of chatter about this issue on Google - check around.

After long searching I have found sony catalyst browse which recognizes my XAVC S footage.
I can transcode to AVC/AAC (MP4), XAVC intra, XAVC long, XAVC S , XDCAM.

I also updated my graphic card + drivers because every first time I start vegas and go to full screen it crashes.

But now the strange thing is: the original XAVC S files are recognized by sony veas pro!!

I don't know if the graphics card update can solved this problem??

Doubtful... What probably happened was that when you installed the new version of Catalyst Browse, it installed the newer codec, which is now available to Vegas. In any case, good news!

just closed my vegas and restarted it for testing (not pc restart). The XAVC S files are now NOT recognized. Dam, I'm lost now. what's causing this?

upgraded to vegas pro 15 and the XAVC s is no problem more:)

But which is the best export setting I choose in sony catalyst browse?
I choose the XAVC S 1920x1080 50p 50 Mbps.

The original footage was about 30min and it took about 1 hour to export this file! (also choose the optimize expoding speed)

Or is this normal?

oh wait. It seems that sony vegas15 recognize the footage in 1 piece. With AVCHD the footage was cutted in pieces for every 20 minutes. This seems not the point with the XAVC S (mp4) codec.
