"For viewing XAVC content, look no further than Vegas Pro 12 from Sony, the world’s first HD, 2K and 4K native editor. The latest version features built-in support for XAVC files, with the same ‘drag and drop, no transcode’ simplicity that Vegas Pro users have enjoyed with other popular formats." described the Sony.

Yeah, Sony Vegas Pro 12 is the best editor for the XAVC – new Sony codec records stunning HD, 2K and 4K images basically used by the Sony PMW-F5 and PMW-F55 – but the older version of Vegas (Vegas Pro 8.0, Vegas Pro 9.0, Vegas Pro 10, Vegas Pro 11) does not support it in the same way. The latest Vegas Pro 12 costs around $390-$580. It is a little bit expensive, don’t you think so? If you’ve already got an older version Vegas like Sony Vegas Pro 11 and you don’t want to purchase the latest Vegas Pro 12 to edit the XAVC footages, here is the best alternative to edit XAVC in Sony Vegas: to convert XAVC to Sony Vegas H.264/MPEG-4 format via Doremisoft XAVC Video Converter (XAVC Video Converter for Mac).
