Avid Media Composer 8 not linking to MXF

Reply Contact

I'm currently working out of a trial version of Avid media composer 8 and it will not link to mxf files. The plugin is supposed to be included into the version of composer.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks!

And the format type. I vaguely recall the Canon XF footage not being supported in 23.976P.

Download and install the Canon XF plugin.

Link to the VOLUME. Not to the MXF files. I think the root of a Canon XF volume contains a CONTENTS folder - so link to one level ABOVE the CONTENTS folder.
