Right now your workflow options are pretty limited. There is a paid plugin from Rovi for XAVC in Premiere CS6 on the Windows platform, no mac support. There is also a raw plugin http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/plad-rw1 for the raw clips in both the windows and mac versions of Premiere CS6. Eventually full support in Premiere will come with CS7, which I don't think is all that far from release. For FCP we will have to wait for Apple to release an update. Again, this should not be far away, but it's not available yet.

The F5/F55 raw and XAVC files are fully supported in Resolve, even the free Lite version. So for the moment I'm using resolve to transcode my XAVC rushes to ProRes. I edit with ProRes and then swap out the ProRes files for the raw files when I come back to Resolve for the grade.
