Sony F55 4k workflow. Anyone?

Anyone got a workflow they could pass along? Have a gig coming up and need it to work well. Thanks in advance!

XAVC or RAW? What machine will you be working on?

As the camera PMW-F55, F5 which used XAVC format unveiled by Sony, XAVC is hotly talked about till now. 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. However, .xavc is still not as popular as other kinds of video formats such as AVCHD and MXF. So when you deal with the XAVC/XAVC-S footages, for example, importing Sony XAVC to FCP or other Mac tools like QuickTime, Avid MC, Premier Pro, you may encounter some format compatibility or video/audio synchronization problems.

Well, I found a threat that offers Sony F55, F5 to Avid, FCP, Avid MC, etc NLE system workflow to help Sony F55, F5C users to solve such kind of problems.

FCP X officially supports native "Sony XAVC import up to 4K supported with additional Sony software." That means you download a plugin from Sony so FCP X will work natively with XAVC. Then again, depending on hardware, you may want to edit with proxies or ProRes.

I was wondering if anyone has worked with the xavc-s codec from the Sony FDR AX1 first hand on FCPX? I see that there is a Sony plugin that handles XAVC, but I don't see XAVC-S mentioned specifically. Also, if anyone has used the camera, I would love to hear feedback. I'm considering renting 3 or 4 for a concert film and I'd like to know what I'm getting into.
