Canon MXF Workflow with Premiere CC, PluralEyes 3 & Speedgrade
Hi guys! I need some advice/tips.
I shot a live stage performance with a Canon XF105 and 2-5DMKII’s. The XF105 shoots MXF files which are causing me problems.
1. Imports just fine into Premiere CC but will not import natively into PluralEyes 3. I tried Red Giant’s workaround, but it still won’t import. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
2. I can use the new Premiere CC Multi-Cam Sync to Audio, but I can bring the MXF files over to Speedgrade for grading.
The more I work with the MXF files the more I don’t want to work with them. Should I just transcode to ProRes or something else to make this 2 hour performance easier to edit? If so, should I just use Adobe Media Encoder?
Any and all advice with working with this format using the above software would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Prores all the way. PluralEyes will read it and Speedgrade will import it.
The ENG style camera formats like XF, XDCAM, AVCHD, and so on really benefit from a proper intermediate codec for more advanced workflows.
