Imported Canon xf305 MXF files keep copying themselves in Premiere Pro CC (October 2014)

Hi. My Adobe Premiere CC keeps getting worse with MXF files. This is a progressing BUG Type problem with each update. As each Premiere update comes out my program behaves even more bizarre.  Upon original import, they're fine. Turn off computer and next day my half hour piece all-of-a-sudden turns into 25 copies of the first 5 minutes. So I delete the rest of the copies and whats left I loose 4/5th of the program. So I input files and they're ok,,, 2 hours later they're no audio on 1/2 of the program, or all of the individual Icons in the files bin have turned into one same picture of the first piece copies 10 or 20 times? Or I edit my footage and the next day I turn on the computer open the program and all my footage is not in the bins or timeline, yet they play perfectly fine on their own in the media drive with another player?
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH PREMIERE? It's Absolutely Unusable? 
Old drives? I don't think so, It's a relatively new computer with two (5 month old Solid State Drives) Besides it all works great with another player?

4. Then I Open PremiereProCC, create a new project and point everything to that project folder on the M (media) drive.
5. Next I go to media bin within the new project, right-click and choose "Import Media", grab all the new footage and hit open.
6. The roughly 1 hour project taped at 750p @ 50mps, takes about 1.5 hours to populate into the bin.
7. Finally I drag all the clips (roughly 10 of them) onto the new timeline, where it takes another roughly 30 minutes to populate onto the timeline.
Item 4 ..explain "point"
Item 5 ...Media Browser I assume?
Item 6 ...thats far too long and indicates an issue.  Should be maybe a minute and then maybe some pek conforming
Item 7 ...far too long and indicates a problem, Should be virtually  immediate.

  • Problem importing canon c300 mxf files into Premiere Pro CC 2014

    I recently shot some footage with a c300 at 24fps, slog2, 2 audio chanels. I copied the "contents" folder of each cf card to my macbook pro hard drive by dragging across in finder.
    When I search from within Premiere Pro's media browser for my files, they show up only as VLC icons, and when I click to import them, I get an error message along the lines of 'unsupported format or damaged file".
    I can double click the files in finder and they open in VLC fine.
    I'm running the latest version of Prem Pro, Yosemite on my macbook pro which has 2.8ghz i-7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB graphic card.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    You could try to convert your XAVC MXF files into MPEG, then load them again , but the new codec may not be well handled by some converters.

  • Can't import and export  MPEG2 files in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

    I don't know when started, but a few days ago my Premiere Pro and After Effects don't recognise MPEG2 files.
    When I try to open a Premiere Pro with a MPEG2 file in it: "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec be associated with this sequence types"

    Just to verify that the files are not corrupt...
    Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen

  • Problems reconnecting media with Canon C300 MXF files

    Working from Canon C300 MXF files imported into up to date premiere cc (not sure if through the media browser or through the import function). We have three stations working (one AE station and two edit bays) but only two stores of the media so we've been backing up the media onto a third drive so our other editor can work. No problems with the first editor station and AE station, they both have all the media. Our third station however...
    Basically the issue we're having is certain files won't reconnect to their MXFs, even though we've maintained the file structure and all associate canon files in their folders. We're getting diagonal shading across the clips in the timeline as well as the little triangle in the corner of the clip that signifies it's the end (and sometimes beginning) of the media. When we try to play those clips they are just a black screen. But when we try to match frame, it'll bring up the clip in the viewer and play fine. The media is not technically "offline," just not playing. When I try to reconnect the media I have to make it offline first and then reconnect but continue to have the same problem. It seems like an issue with merging the spanned clip across multiple .mxf files because there's no issue with clips that are not spanned. I tried isolating the individual clips from the .xml files that tell premiere to merge them and they reconnect fine up until the end of that file and then I've got diagonal lines for the rest of the clip again. I've tried everything I can think of and we're wasting so much money on this second editor not being able to work on anything because of this. Any insight would be most appreciated.

    Ah I see, I read through your link, I get that reverting could help except that all our other stations are running 7.2.2 so we'd have incongruity between stations. Whats strange is the other two stations are running fine, no problems. It's just with this other station that doesn't have all the media that's having the issue.

  • Program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC

    PC - Premiere Pro CC - AMD Fire Pro (13.101-130604a-158071E-ATI)
    I'm working on a project and the program monitor keeps going black in Premiere Pro CC while I am working on the timeline. I've got like 28 GB of memory alocated to the program and just updated the latest driver for my video card. No clue why this keeps happening, but the only way I can get around it is to restart. When I go to close down the program freezes and I have to shut it down in the system preferences.
    Under a crazy deadline if you can help? Thanks

    here's my story. I'm also having this problem with video appearing in the Program monitor. The only thing I did differently is that yesterday when I was editing, I pulled the Program monitor out of the main Premiere interface and dragged it over to my second desktop monitor. that worked just dandy.
    when I opened Premiere today, and opened an entierly different project, there was no video in the output window (and it was locked back into the main interface). I also can't select clips on the TL. The software locks up, and I have to restart.
    I am able to create a new project and render the countdown leader. I was also able to import the project that wasn't displaying correctly, and have it work just like normal. So I think I'm back in business for now.
    I'm deeply concerned though. I'm doing a webinar about Premiere very soon (with rehearsals tomorrow!). A failure like this looks bad for everybody. Also, I don't relish having to re-import all of my old projects in this way to get the basics working again. Any idea what went wrong? Right now I feel like I'd better never drag the program window to a second monitor to enjoy a larger program monitor while editing.

  • Canon XF300 mxf file conversion

    Hello. I have a new Canon MX300. The file format this unit uses is MXF. There are many MXF file conversion software products on the market such as "Pavtube or Borosoft". Basically these convert the MXF files into useable format such as Mpeg or what ever else you desire in a lossless format. Then that file can be utilize in a editing software to create a movie. My question is, instead of having to use the file conversion software can Adobe Premier Elements 12 bypass the conversion step? Does it need a plug in to work. Talking with the GREAT Canon rep today he lead me to believe it would but I wanted to ask the experts here.
    Thanks!

    cdnew1,
    Welcome to the forum, and thanks Jeff.
    PrPro can natively handle MXF files from the Canon, but I do not know of a way to Import those directly into PrE. There might be an available plug-in, but I do not know of it. Also, with the 3rd party plug-in market, PrE is pretty far down their lists, as it only costs about $100, so the users are not likely going to spend much on a plug-in.
    Perhaps others will have some useful tips on handling the MXF files.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Native import of C300 MXF files?

    Hello,
    recently, I started using Speedgrade CC, which seems a great piece of software. Whatsoever I am working most of the time with the Canon C300 and I have problems importing the native C300 MXF files into Speedgrade. Basicaly, the MXF files don´t work in Speedgrade.
    Is there a solution with transcoding the material?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    MXF format is not supported in SpeedGrade. You have to transcode the material (i.e. to a DPX sequence) to load it.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Premier CS6 importer error for mxf files

    I can't import any mxf file into Premier CS6. I don't really understand this situation.
    I have intalled Canopus.HQ.CODEC.v6.0.7 and for example my vlc media player plays fine all of my mxf files.
    Can anybody help me solve this issue?
    Thanks

    Probably because they want to be able to investigate the exact type of mxf file it actually is. Because I edit mxf files with Premiere cs6 fairly regularly and I never have issues. So obivously something is either different with that specific type of mxf or something is corrupted which I doubt. Could you upload a small test file? So we can see if it will import into Premiere on our systems. Also since you're saying they digitized them using a canopus capture device/card and or software I'm thinking you may need that software and or the specific codec installed on your system in order to actually make use of that type of file.
    I'd recommend downloading the entire "canopus playback codec pack". This should solve your issue. However I have no way to promise it will, I'm fairly sure it should work... Simply google "Canopus Playback Codec Pack" and the first result will give you the info your need to get the full playback package. I'm guessing this your problem.

  • Unable to import or view MXF files

    I have downloaded and installed Calibrated{Q} MXF, which is supposed to enable me to import and edit with MXF files, but all I get is the first 30 seconds. Is this proprietary software, and if so, where can I get a codec to work with these files which a client has supplied me? (I don't think I should fork out hundreds of dollars for the "privilege" of working with a closed format. I would rather give the job back to the client.)
    MXF Quickstat tells me the codec is IMX30 PAL, with Audio codec AES3. At the top it has: "MXF Type: OP1a SingleItem SinglePa... // Video Type: SMPTE D-10 Mappings.
    Compressor also cannot get more than 30 secs, and XDCam Transfer doesn't recognise the files. I think the client may have compiled these on an Avid, but my understanding is that MXF is a wrapper that should work across platforms, and IMX should work with an XDCam-compatible system. I have worked with EX and SX before without a problem.
    Many thanks for any assistance.

    Sound like you have the DEMO version of Calibrated. it only does the first few seconds so that you can see that it does, in fact, work. If you want to see the ENTIRE clips, you need to buy it.
    Is this proprietary software
    This is third party software, yes. Apple doesn't make it. If you want it to work fully, you need to buy it.
    MXF Quickstat tells me the codec is IMX30 PAL, with Audio codec AES3. At the top it has: "MXF Type: OP1a SingleItem SinglePa... // Video Type: SMPTE D-10 Mappings.
    What is that? Avid? Doesn't seem like Avid. How are the files named? REALLY long names? Separate audio and video? Are they in a folder called MXF, then another one called 1? I think you need to ask the client where these came from. Only they can really answer that question.
    but my understanding is that MXF is a wrapper that should work across platforms
    It will, but not every application can read MXF natively. Avid is PC and Mac...and can read MXF files. That's cross platform. If you mean cross platform in terms of software editing applications, you are mistaken. FCP doesn't work with MXF natively, it needs third party software.
    but my understanding is that MXF is a wrapper that should work across platforms, and IMX should work with an XDCam-compatible system. I have worked with EX and SX before without a problem.
    Correct...you convert the XDCAM footage to QT to allow FCP to see it. Either with the SOny software or the FCP L&T interface. It doesn't work with it natively.

  • Canon XF105 MXF Files Wrong Date Associated

    The "Date Modified" on the MXF files is correct however the  "Date Created" on files from my camera is listed as December 31, 1969, and I believe this is making the date that is added to the name of my clip when ingested using Adobe Prelude wrong. Any idea how to make the "Date Created" the correct date that the file was actually created on?

    Hi bpanvideo!
    Thanks for the post.
    Please ensure the correct date/time has been set in the camcorder.  To do this:
    Open the menu.
    Select [Other Functions] > [Clock Set] > [Date/Time].
    Use the joystick to change each field on the date/time screen.
    Press <SET> to confirm and close the screen.
    There is another setting you need to make sure is set correctly as well.  Please select [Time Zone] under the [Other Functions] menu and ensure it is set to your time zone.
