MXF file importing trouble to CS5

I just got a Panasonic hpx 250 camera and its native files are MXF files. They are not compatible with my software, premiere CS5. Can anyone recommend a converter or other fix that will allow me to use MXF files with premiere, something that will link the audio and video files without degrading the video quality, or taking forever to render? It has been suggested that an upgrade to CS6 may solve the problem. Can anyone tell me what's new in CS6 that would make importing MXF's easier?
Thanks!

Thanks Jim, you got me thinking about those presets and I started monkeying with the media browser. The MXF files import cleanly through it. I was also not saving enough of the MXF contents file to my hard drive. Yeah, you need more than the audio and video. By saving the whole folder, opening in the media browser and importing from there, seems to be working like a champ. I’ve never had to go through the media browser before, but I usually deal with only with .avi or mpeg files.
Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction.

Grass Valley MXF files imported to Premiere CS3 ?

Does anyone know if you can import Grass Valley MXF files into Premiere CS3, and if not, is there a program I can get that can take the MXF file and convert it into a different file?
Thanks
Josh
(We just upgraded Premiere to the latest upgrades)

I realize that this is very old, but I would like to point out that MXF files can be read/used by Premiere CS5.5... but not all MXF's are created equal. Our Canon MXF's come in just fine, however everything we shoot on our Grass Valley Infinity cameras can not be imported natively. For that we've had to either use Edius to import and convert the files to Premiere friendly files or purchase the Main Concepts MPEG 2 plugin. With that plugin the MXF files can be imported & edited in CS5.5.
Not sure about any of this in relation to CS3 though (assuming you haven't upgraded in the last 3 years).

Mxf File import failure

Dear All,
I have a problem to import files in CS4 from a Sony PDW-U1(MPEG2 HD 50CBR_1920_1080_422P@HL" formatFps="50i") on my new HP Quad Core 4600.
The error message: file import failure "Unsupported format or damaged file" but is not damaged.
The PC don't have a capture card and I don't need it, I just want to import the mxf and edit it on the timeline then encode in flv.
Someone have an idea?
Many thanks
Claudio

MainConcept sells a fairly expensive PP plugin that supposedly will read the Sony XDCAM HD 422 50 mbps MXF files. I downloaded the demo, but I could never get it to work right, because according the MainConcept, it won't install correctly if you have both CS3 and CS4 components installed. Maybe your luck will be better:

Quicktime file import failure in CS5 After Effects and PPro

Running a Dell PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro, Intel Quad Core 2 with 4GB. Ram.When I try to import quicktime files into AE or PPro, I get a file import failure or corrupted file message. I am using quicktime version 7.6.6. I have tried uninstalling and removing all preferences, then reloading older versions of quicktime (7.2) rebboting the machine, and still no luck. Any tips would be appreciated. I have not been able to get any help from Adobe. I have a laptop setup the same way and it works great. I even tried loading the exact same versions of qt. and tried to use the Importerquiktime.prm file from that machine.

I appreciate the feedback. I checked the processes upon AE start and found that the Adobe QT server32 starts then closes in the processes before AE actually loads up. If it is supposed to remain open, it does not. I can not find where to change its permissions. I looked the site you sent a link to, but do not see that section.

MXF file imports to CS6 with 2 audio tracks

I just installed Pr CS6 and when I drop a Canon MXF file on the time line I get 2 audio tracks instead of one stereo audio track. I assume there is a setting to make.

They are recorded are two mono tracks in the camera. IMO that offers more flexibility than a single stereo track, so I don't even bother, but you can set audio preferences not to use file, but use as stereo or whatever you want.

Avi file imports into Premiere CS5.5 but not CS6

I'm trying to move a project from CS5.5 to CS6. I have several SD avi files that CS6 says can't be imported because they're "damaged or un-supported". After several experiments I found -
1) The existing CS5.5 project works fine.
2) A new CS5.5 project can import the files that fail in CS6.
3) The files play fine in Windows Media Player.
4) Removing Media Cache and Preview files had no effect on the issue.
I'm running Premiere 6.0.3 (most recent Cloud version) on 64-bit Windows 7.

Exactly what is inside the files?

Canon xf105 mxf files - importing multi channel audio into CC

Hi there,
We've recently upgraded to CC across our department, and I'm importing footage shot on our Canon XF-105 using the MXF wrapper. In 5.5 I was able to simply drag and drop from the project into the timeline and have both channels of audio recorded there. In CC I can only see the audio recorded with channel 1 and my clip in this instance was plugged into channel 2. Is this something that is known? Am I missing something from the setup of the project?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Anything you need to know about the project or the files, give me a shout!
Cheers,
Paul

A lot of things have changed since 5.5.
You need to set up Preferences before importing.
Set Stereo to Mono in Audio / Default Audio Tracks.
Or Modify the audio channels of the clips in the Project Window.

.DMP File Import Troubles.

I am trying to import a .DMP file from Oracle 9i (see below) using the Oracle Database Homepage (Oracle 10g Express Edition) and I received the following, error message:
"Your export file is not supported."
So, I believe the problem to be with the charset that is being used to export. Does this make any sense? I really need to get this database imported. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Read this document, it can helps you. You should use exp 9.2 to import into 10g.

Adobe After Effects CS 6 3D file import

Hello friends. AE CS 5 were able to import the psd file with the 3D, but did not see this feature in CS6. Does anyone have information about importing a 3d file CS6?

Photoshop CS5 - CS6 versions, you can import 3D files. Psd files, import After Effects CS5 program when it could use the 3D camera feature. But while the 3D features of AE CS6 protection feature also does not seem to import.

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.

Mail 4.5 import trouble

Mail 4.5 imports mbox files double up. The mbox files import trouble free into other mail programs, but not Apple mail? Does any one have a solution?

Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type?
Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

Trouble importing .mxf files into Premiere Pro CS6

Having problems importing MXF. file types into my Premiere CS6 project. I will go to import the folder and the yellow loading bar will come up to say that it's importing. Then it will freeze and the color wheeled loading symbol will come up (I'm using a Mac) and will just sit there. From there I'm forced to do a force quit on my project and re-open it again. Is there any way to fix this issue and if so what is the problem causing this issue?
Also my mac is running on OSX v10.7.5 and Premiere is running on cs6 v6.0.2

Yes, MXF should play perfectly in PP CS6, but if you can't work this out at this point, you may wrap your MXF video to something intermediate. as a matter of face, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 seems to work fine if you import your MXF clips directly from a camera or camcorder, but if have already copied MXF recordings your HDD or you downloaded them from somewhere else, the import error may occur.
So i suggest you convert the MXF footage to something mezzanine we would recommend DNxHD.mov (if you are on a PC) or Apple ProRes .mov (if on a mac). those two intermediate codecs are good mezzanine codecs that handle recompression well and standup well in other areas of post-production (color grading, graphics, compositing, etc,). You can see what I wrote about the solution. "Why Premiere Pro CS6 can't import MXF files?" i hope that it is helpful to you.

Trouble importing MXF files into Premiere Pro CC

When importing MXF files into Premier Pro (CC or CS6) from a Canon C300, If I have stopped and started the Camera (during an interview for instance) ie, if there are several takes, multiple duplicate verions of my fooatge appear in the folder on my card, when viewed through the media browser in Premier Pro.
If I try to ingest the footage into Premiere Pro (CC/CS6) or use Prelude (CC/CS6) the conformed footage file does not start in the right place. Example, an interview with two takes once ingested (as one file) has the second take first.
Has anybody else encountered this?

Can't import mxf files into AE CS5.5 beyond that the files were rendered on the same AE

When I try to import a MXF file AE crash inmediatly. The weird thig is that these MXF files were rendered in the same AE.

The Error message is:
"After Effects error: Crash in progress. last logged message was: <7984>

Then the message to contact Adobe Technical Support (0::42)
Then the chance to save the project
I'm in AE 5.5 (10.5.0.253) - Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - Intel i7 - 8gb ram

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.
