From Adobe official website, we know Premiere Pro CC 13.0 and the latest 13.1 version supports 4K XAVC S importing. However, it would be not a good choice for you to directly edit XAVC S with Premiere Pro CC. The main reason is that MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is an 8-bit video format. If you edit it natively, you will start to lose image quality as you do color correction or composite gradients to create greenscreen keys. There just isn't a lot of room to work. As for the old versions, they doesn't support 4K resolution video loading at all. How to solve this problem? Transcoding to a higher bit-rate format solves these image quality issues.
