MXF files
Posted by Craig Sawchuk on August 17, 2010 at 5:29 pmI got some MXF files that I want to open in FCP 7. They came via a card reader transferred to HD. The folder has a sub folder titled }CLP{ that contains the MXF files and a file }STT{. This doesn’t look like what I saw in the tutorials…
Also tried to import the files to FCP and don’t see any option for Panasonic P2. What am I doing wrong???
Thanks,
Craig

How did I miss that? CLP I registered as CLIP. Ignored STT.
yeah, that isn’t Panasonic P2.

August 17, 2010 at 9:06 pmI suspect that they might have been shot with a camera output to a video recorder??? And I was hoping that because the file structure was similar to P2, I could ingest through Log & Transfer, but no luck. I’ll start looking for a utility to convert them to QT.

That’s probably from a Convergent Design nanoFlash, so it’s probably some flavor of XDCAM.

August 18, 2010 at 1:05 amYes. That are the MFX from the NANo-flash.
They are supposed to be shoot for editing on a PC, but there are ways to manage them on FC.

August 18, 2010 at 12:01 pmYes thank you so much–looks like they were Nano/XDCAM files. The next thing for me to figure out is why the video imported beautifully but the audio is pegged and unusable, while the XDCAM transfer plays them clean and proper levels. Any suggestions? And thanks guys, it was good to know you were out there when I was panicking yesterday.
