“I just received my Sony PXW-X180 and was eager to import XAVC footage into Sony Movie Studio Platinum. I ignored the negative comments I saw on the Web about importing into Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro but since I have Movie Studio Platinum, I figured that I’d be okay. Guess what? The Movie Studio Platinum does not recognize file. I get an error statement.”
