XAVC, a recording format introduced by Sony, has been developed as an open format, providing a license program for other manufacturers in the broadcast and production industry to develop their own high quality and high frame rate products.
To be able to import XAVC media to Final Cut Pro 7, you'll need to download and install Sony's free XAVC plugin PDZK-LT2, allowing viewing and editing capability in Final Cut Pro 7. While, this Camera Import Plugin only provides support for XAVC files shot on Sony SxS card but not Professional Disc.
Besides, there are system requirements and some nots when using the plugin:
Applicable Products: PMW-F55/F5
Version 1.2 of this plug-in requires: Mac OS X 10.9; Final Cut Pro 10.1 or later; For all other supported OS, please use version 1.1.
Version 1.1 of this plug-in requires: Final Cut Pro 10.0.8 or higher for XAVC format.
As you see, Sony's XAVC did not work with FCP 7. On the other hand, the Camera Import plugin is only suitable for Sony PMW-F55 and Sony F5. For Sony's other 4K cameras like FDR-AX100, PXW-FS7, PXW-X70, PXW-X160 or PXW-X500, it doesn’t work.
Many folks gives feedback that they can see the XAVC clips and play them in the Content Browser, but it doesn't allowed to import them into FCP 7 while getting the Error message “A Clip that cannot be imported to Final Cut Pro is included. There may be no codec for FCP. Please confirm the Update information of FCP 7.”
