Q2: How to import footage from Sony F55 to Premiere CS6?
I'm going to shoot a project on HD with a Sony F55 (not in 2k or 4k). My DoP has given me some test footage, but I am unable to import the footage into Premiere Pro…
As far as I know, XAVC is a new recording format which can support 4K resolution (4096 * 2160 and 3840 * 2160) at up to 60 fps.

So when you import 4K footage to Premiere Pro from Sony F55 for further editing, you may encounter some format compatibility or video/audio synchronization problems.
