    Hello all,

    I need to work with MXF files with avid 2018
    I placed the MXF under Avid Media Files / 1/ … (where the media is)
    got an error “file is not AP-ATOM”
    fair enough the MXF must be OP1-A
    I drag the file into avid (Import): and get exception MPEG mapper segment
    I try link to AMA: it says “failed to convert display to disk order

    WHY SO HARD? WHY?

    You can’t import OP1a, you can only link to it via AMA. Or option-drag them into a bin should default to the MXF AMA plug-in. WOuld be a nice feature that if dragged for import that MC prompt for you try a link rather than fail.
