Convert/Export to MXF OP1a?

I am currently using FCPx to render a MOV file. Is it possible to convert the file to a format required by a broadcast station - MXF OP1a? I have AME 5.5.0.212 64-bit (Mac based). I can't see any options to export to this setting, though it seems to be supoorted in AME's features.
Any clarification or advice appreciated! I am considering moving over to Adobe Premier CS5.5 if it makes a difference and improves editing speed.
thanks,
Geoff

Support for exporting to MXF OP1a was added in the 5.0.1update. However, this format as well as several others are available only if AME was installed by Premiere Pro, After Effects, Production Premium, or Master Collection.

MXF OP1a export problems - URGENT

i am using the adobe cs5 mxf op1a settings to export my projects for tv stations.
at the tv stations, there are installed avid media compser and harris broadcast playout.
the problem is this - when the exported mxf project is imported in either the avid or the harris, these system crash or report a drop outs that cause the timeline to hang
this problem is not being reported by mxf exports done from Final Cut done by other production companies
i did some tests on the mxf produced from both NLE - Final Cut and Adobe suite with IRT MXF analyser light and found that the mxf produced from the Adobe suite generate a lot of errors from the Header, while exports from Final Cut do not generate any problems. Following is one of the test about 35 secs long advert. on a longer export the errors are A LOT

can this be the problem of other NLE's and playouts crashing? We choose to have Adobe Suite because of it's direct export to MXF Op1a option, but this is causing a lot of trouble. Any help?

So the file seems to be functional to me. I don't know why Harris is having trouble importing it - we'll probably need to reach out to their engineering group to get a handle on what they're having difficulty with.
(As to Avid, I believe that they use OpAtom files, so I'm not sure how to get Media Composer to import these successfully.)
The only other suggestion I have is to try using one of the IMX presets instead, see if they fare any better.
*edit: for what it's worth, I tried generating an OP1a file directly using the MOG SDK sample code, and IRT generates the same errors/warnings that you listed for your file. So I still suspect that the IRT tool's "errors" are probably false leads...

Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

I have a Premiere Pro project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. I make sure that none of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels as I want it to, but only the first two channels contains audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thank you for your help!

Hey Guys,
I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:
Track 01: Full Programme Mix L
Track 02: Full Programme Mix R
Track 03: International Sound L
Track 04: International Sound R
Track 05: Music and Effects L
Track 06: Music and Effects R
Track 07: VO Mono
Track 08: Interview Mono
I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157
I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence
The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

MXF OP1a Master file converted to Blu Ray in AME to .m4v showa up in Encore as Untranscoded

Just started creating Blu Ray DVDs from MXF OP1a AVC-I 100 Master files.
I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master. It converts successfully creating video .m4v and PCM files.
When I import them into Encore 6.02, the Project window info displays the video file as " Remix. m4v Video file Untranscoded". And " Remix.wav WAV audio "Untranscoded"
Whats up with that? If they have been trancoded by AME why does Encore say they are Untranscoded?

The project panel shows both the DVD and the Bluray transcode status/settings. Make sure you are looking at the Bluray column.
What is the audio format for your disk settings? If set to dolby, Encore will show your pcm as untranscoded. Also, try changing the setting for the pcm asset to "do not transcode."
Are you using 5.1?
I use AME to convert to BR matching the settings of the master.
Are the settings of the master BD compliant?

Export MXF Op1a XDCAMHD with one stereo track?!

I need a MXF Op1a XDCAMHD with only one stereo track as a master file.
If i choose "stereo" in the export settings I always get two mono files.
I know, that it is not a standart in a MXF with XDCAM to use stereo, but
I know that there are some broadcaster out there who use such a file as master file.
Does anyone know how to create it? That would be very helpful.

That's right I checked the file in the VLC Player.
I exported an MXF IMX30 file and it worked with stereo file, in VLC as well!
I send the "stereo" MFX XDCAM to a broadcaster and he said it is not a MXF with a stereo track. So the same like I recognized after my export.
So it seems to be possible to export MXF's with stereo files, but not in XDCAM.
Does anyone use it? Or has a similar problem / workflow?!

Mxf Op1a export problem.

Hi,
I am a user of Mac Pro (Mavericks ve Mountain Lion).
I need to export Mxf Op1a in version of After Effects CS6 but I can't see any option when I render .
I tried to do in different PC or operation systems but results are same. There isn't any option. (You can see the screenshot in http://i.imgur.com/9eTKPoN.png)
Also I couldn't find this option in Premiere CS6 and Media Encoder programmes.
Can you please help me about this problem?
Thank you for your soonest reply

I haven't seen this before myself. Give these questions a look through:
FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

CS6: Premiere exports MXF Op1a (mpeg based) but Media Encoder does not.

As a company we use several local machines with a full installation of CS6.
Premiere Pro exports in our broadcast format (MXF Op1a - mpeg based - Long GOP - 50Mb - Top Field First - etc...) still Media Encoder does not.
They we both installed in the same procedure, full installation of CS6. MXF presets are present on both directories (Premiere and Media Encoder).
ME simply doesn't recognize "any know exporters" even if I force a preset, when it comes to MXF.
We have to import every single video into Premiere to export as MXF. It's difficult to create an effective workflow this way.
Any thoughts on why is this happening?
NOTE:
- Updated twice all machines - first to 6.0.3, now to 6.0.5 = no result
- Copied presets from a working trial installation = no result
- Microsoft based OS core i7 with 12Gb RAM, 3Tb HD and Nvidia Quadro 4000
Regards, RicardoM

I've read a lot of suggestions towards similar issues. None worked.
- installed codec packs incluiding different mpeg variations = no result
- copied /common preset files from premiere to AME = no result
- copied and replaced the full directory of AME from another working AME (with MXF exporter) = no result
- re-installed CS6 = no result
- updated CS6 twice = no result
- added MXF Preset zip file available in the official Adobe support (although it refers to mac presets) = no matter... no result
I really don't know what else to do.
It's difficult to accept suggestions like "format c and start over" cause of the impact on the production room, so I really need more options other than the extreme ones...
Any ideia Jim Simon?
Thanks in advance!
BTW: Must add that in all processes above, MXF exporting was allways possible in Premiere, just not in AME.

CS 5.5 - Can I export Discrete Audio Channels w/ MXF OP1a

I created a new Sequence as 16 channel audio, each as mono. I've populated 8 channels.
I export an MXF 0P1a.
I brought the MXF back in and cut it to a new sequence to test the audio export. And on the new sequence the mix tool is only showing audio on the first 2 channels, even though the file imported with 8 channels. So it seems like PPro mixed the channels down.
Can I export an MXF with 8 discrete audio channels?

I have checked it and it doesn't work 6.0.3. I have proper 8 chanel audio on sequence and audio master shows this cannels properly. After exportin i have only 2 channels.
Please report how to do it properly.
regards

It works with a caveat. There is a bug that has been reported here and has yet to be fixed. MXFs are fine to edit with and such, but if you are trying to export to them the resulting file can contain below black information that wasn't present in the original file. Check your exports.
Here is a thread on it:
Re: Data below black level 0 in h264 mp4 files.
(look at the waveform screen captures in the middle of the thread.)
I am still having to use CS 6.03 for all of my mxf exports until Adobe resolves this issue. Been reporting it for years now. It's a pain.

Mxf op1a match source Media Encoder

I'm trying to use the mxf op1a match source (rewrap) preset in Media Encoder. I've got a variety of source material from Gopros, XF305s and a couple of others. The preset fails consistently with Gorpro footage, and I've had problems with some other sources too. I keep getting the "The source file's video stream is not compatible with this preset. Please choose a different preset." error.
My question is: given that I'm only trying to use the mxf preset as a container, keeping the source material as it is - why am I getting compatibility errors? As I understand it, mxf can be used as a container for a variety of video types, I've not come across anything that states it doesn't work for Gopro files or any others, so what's the problem?
Thanks
Bransby

This won't work for GoPro footage because our MXF exporter doesn't support GoPro CineForm. Unfortunately the preset has to do a little more than just copying the streams to a new wrapper. We have to have an ability to write that stream natively to MXF and currently we can't do that. If you wanted to make a feature request, you should request that we support GoPro CineForm in an MXF wrapper. Once that exists your workflow will work. Feature requests can be made here:https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Multiple stereo outputs when creating a DNxHD MXF OP1a

Hi,
I'm trying to make some DNxHD MXF OP1a's from some source MOVs.
Problem is I am trying to simply passthrough the dual stereo outputs (Full Mix, M&E), outputting as 48kHz 16bit WAV / uncompressed.
Media Encoder seems to only want to deal with one Stereo pair for output, or multiple mono outputs for more than 2 track output.
Does anyone know how to output 2 stereo pairs rather than 4 x mono tracks?? Any help would be appreciated
Ben

Loop preview is monitored via the Prelisten Channel - channel 256 in the environment Mixer, you can also locate it by setting Mixer view to "All" - so route the Prelisten channel to whatever Output you want it to be. Beware that Surround loops will always playback through the channels set in Logic's sourround preferences.

Convert/Export Flex chart to MS Word

Hi All,
Please let me know how to Convert/Export the Flex Chart to MS Word...

Well, "used to..." is not a good business case.
They don't need to receive reports anymore, they can view them in the portal as needed. Viewing in Word is functionaly about the same as viewing in Excel if "receiving" is the preferred method for them.
Having reports in PDF is better if they want to print.
Or they can use Crystal reports as a last resort.... I think those might export to word.
Webi is on-demand, ad-hock reporting, that's what's it for. Export to other formats is a secondary function.

After Effects rendering with Format MXF OP1a 1080i/25, XDCAM with colour space "HDTV (Rec. 709) 16-235" but after rendering the colour space is "30-217"

Hello!
I have a very annoying problem in After Effects. I'm making an Animation with the format "MXF OP1A, Codec XDCAMHD 50 PAL (4:2:2)" with 8-Bit and with the colour space "HDTV (Rec. 709) 16-235" but after rendering the colour space is not 16-235, it is 30-217 RGB. After I activate the colour space in After Effects, then it shows the right values, but after rendering the value for white is 217 and for black is 30. Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
Bye

Thanks for your answer, but i don't know an Adobe Media Composer, you surely mean Adobe Media Encoder, or not? Anyway i do not find the option for colour space in Media Encoder, so i would be very thankful if you could tell me where to find it.

AE CS6 Render Queue MXF op1a output option

Hi! I use AE CS6 on different PCs W7 x64. For installation I used the same installer packages. The problem is: In one installation I have MXF op1a as an output format option in render queue, in an other I don't have. There is nothing different between the workstations: same OS, same AE, same Patch, same language (german), same QT, same Hardware... Have anybody an idea or know the solution? Thanks! Philipp

Yes, Adobe usually installs necessary codecs, but some folks like to add ones (like Lagarith).
However, the fact that your computers are all loaded with the same image and some work and others don't is very weird.
