Premiere Pro (February 2024 release)

Adobe has also released the February 2024 Premiere Pro version, focusing on the Sony BURANO. As noted by Adobe: “With the new Sony BURANO camera support, you can import X-OCN and XAVC formats and start working with the latest in camera technology. Premiere Pro supports all formats supported by the BURANO: X-OCN (LT), XAVC H Intra HQ, XAVC H Intra SQ, XAVC H Long, XAVC Intra, and XAVC Long”.

We’ve had X-OCN support for at least three years and just updated it for the BURANO. It’s available in Premiere Pro and After Effects. We also support the three new variants of XAVC (XAVC H Intra HQ, XAVC H Intra SQ, and XAVC H Long), plus the existing XAVC Intra and XAVC Long formats.

Adobe Video Product Manager

As mentioned by Adobe: “Adobe: AI-powered Enhance Speech is now shipping in Premiere Pro! And with more collaboration updates, direct-to-social publishing, Sony BURANO support, improvements to proxies, and more. Now use AI-powered Enhance Speech in Premiere Pro to magically remove noise and improve poorly recorded dialogue to sound like it was recorded in a professional studio. Plus, we’re listening closely to the pro editor community to deliver even more top requests, including direct-to-social publishing, new support for color fonts and emojis, and more. It’s the perfect time to update”.

And FCP?

Well, as expected, there’s no love from Apple. The sole NLE that doesn’t support X-OCN is… Final Cut Pro. According to Sony it’s currently not expected to be but XAVC-H will be.
