How do you work with Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S video in Premiere Pro? The editing performance may differ depending on your computer environment and your Premiere version. If you run into troubles dealing with Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S .mp4 clips in Adobe Premiere, you are just here in the right place. This tutorial guides you through a way of enabling Premiere to handle Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S footage smoothly.
Since Premiere Pro CC.1 (7.1), Adobe has added native support for the XAVC S format, and Premiere Pro doesn't need to transcode anything to work with Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S files. However, some unknown problems still happen during the loading or editing progress. For me, of course, I don't like to convert my Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S videos, because the waste of time and the quality loss (even you can't tell from your eyes), but if you have been driven crazy by this problem, then you may like to have a try...So even though you won't gain any quality with conversion, you will many times gain performance with conversion.

Step 2: Click "Profile" to select output format. For Mac based Premiere, we would recommend choosing "Final Cut Pro" > "Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)" as output format. The ProRes 422 codec will ensure a good balance between file size and file quality.
Tips: 1. This converter only outputs Apple ProRes files up to 1080p. If your source video is 4K and you want to keep its original quality, you can select "4K Video" > "4K H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video (*.mp4)" as target format for use in Premiere. To select 4K H.264 as output, please make sure your computer has enough power to handle 4K H.264.
2. If necessary, you can click "Settings" button to modify video and audio parameters like encoder, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, aspect ratio, sample rate, and audio channels. You can also "Enable 3D Settings" to add 3D effect to your source media.
Step 3: Start file conversion. Click "Convert" to start transcoding Sony SLT-A68 XAVC-S media for Premiere on Mac. As soon as the conversion is complete, click "Open Folder" to get the generated files for editing in Premiere Pro on your Mac with optimum performance.
