“i have tried importing XAVC files (in an mxf container as written on the sxs card) from a sony camera, into premiere Elements 12/13, the imported files do not run smoothly when viewing them. IS it compatible with Premiere Elements 12/13?”

Premiere Elements is the stripped back, simpler option for video editors who do not want the complexity, advanced features and extra cost of Premiere Pro. Adobe Premiere Elements 12/13 features an interface that has been created for ease of use, but there is also the option to select between Expert or Quick editing modes; depending upon your skill level and needs.

Do you have the same confusion above? After countless tests and searching, I think the problem does not just lie on 4K resolution. Although Adobe Premiere Elements (12/13) with stunning features is a popular video editing software for users, the compatibility between 4K videos and Adobe Premiere Elements is still an unsolved mystery in that some persons can import 4K videos into Elements, while the others can not. 

The computer configuration and operation environment should play an important role on this aspect. By passing 4K issue, in fact, there is another problem that users need to pay attention. As far as I know, XAVC , as a newly high compressed video format, is not supported by most NLEs, Premiere Elements 12/13 just included. Below list the the detail supported format with Premiere Elements 12/13:
