"i have tried importing XAVC S files from a Sony a6300 camera, into premiere, the imported files do not run smoothly when viewing them. IS it compatible with Premiere?"

Granted that the new version 8.2.0 of Adobe Premiere Pro CC can natively support XAVC S 4K and HD. Whereas, it's still quite tricky to handle XAVC S with Premiere Pro CC(before 8.2.0) or CS6, CS5, CS4. In addition, working 4K video files with Premiere Pro is extremely hardware intensive especially on older computer. Fortunately, you don't need to buy a new computer or update your Premiere Pro to the latest verison, alternatively a better and easier workaround is to convert your 4K/HD XAVC S clips to a more editable video format for Premiere Pro, such as MPEG-2.
