With every camcorder, come many different questions about workflow. The term 'workflow' can be fairly broad, but today I am looking at importing Sony PXW-X320 XAVC video into FCP X.

Generally, to bring your Sony PXW-X320 XAVC video into FCP X, you need a special software. Choose the folder with your PXW-X320 XAVC footage into FCP X and Acrok HD Video Converter will allow you to view your clips. This XAVC Video Converter assembles any spanned clips as well. Bring the clips that you want to import into your project by either dragging them into the project window, or choosing File -> Import from Camcorder. FCP X will look through the folder for anything it can bring in, but because it only reads the actual Sony PXW-X320 XAVC footage you will get some errors. Now your clips are in FCP X and ready to edit, special thanks to Adobe for helping get this right.
