    I keep being asked to supply MXF files by a UK Broadcast channel – I shoot with a 5d and C100 and neither can record in that? How do I convert to MXF?

    I use Premiere CC

    Thanks!

    If you are simply converting your camera media to MXF, Adobe Media Encoder will do that in a batch. Keep in mind that MXF is merely a container format. Check to see if they have any specific codec requirements that the contained data must have.

    Ignore the last guy. That’s spam.

    Some broadcasters will ask for XDCAM HD 422 in an MXF wrapper. You can export to that in Premiere.

    …..and the way to find those easy Adobe Encoder presets is to look under the somewhat cryptic “MXF OP1a” item under the “Broadcast” folder. What the heck is OP1a, anyway? 🙂

    It refers to an MXF file specification that holds video and audio in a single file as opposed to op atom MXF formats. Adobe didn’t invent these terms these are industry standard terms.
