MXF files not importing into Vegas Pro 12 Why?

[John Rofrano]

[Shawn Bossick] “I don’t know what to do other than to find an answer here, or return the Panasonic AJ-PX270 camera back.”

According to Panasonic:

Panasonic AJ-PX270 supports DV, DVCPRO, and DVCPRO50 as standard for SD records and DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra 50, AVC-Intra 100 along with the AVC-LongG6, G12, G25 and G50 as standard for HD recoding. For even higher quality recording, the AJ-PX270 supports the visually lossless AVC-Intra 200 codec, as an option for master quality all in one compact handheld camera.

So… what format did you shoot in?

Hello John!

The camera does not shoot AVC Intra 50 in 1080 only 720. The only format you can shoot in 1080 is AVC Intra 200 or 100 Long G50 25 or 12. All other formats you mentioned are in 720 or SD. Had the camera been capable of shooting AVC Intra50 in 1080 I would have kept it,I returned it today, but first spoke with Panasonic Tech support to make certain I knew what it could or could not do.

Thank you for the list in your last post, I kept it so when I do find a camera it will be compatible within Vegas!

Thanks for all your help!

Shawn.

I have a very simple rule that I follow: I use Sony software and I buy Sony cameras and it’s funny but everything seems to work. 😉

Sorry for the end result of your experience, i know the frustration
of having a new camera and things just dont work…. Would have been
best to do a quick research before you buy, but it’s past that.
Mike’s recommendation for Raylight Ultra would be the best guarantee
that things would go smoothly with your workflow.

Hey Shawn are you still having problems with MXF files? Please send me a small file less-than 20 seconds.
At FashionTVnetwork@gmail.com. Let me see if I can upload those files.

Thanks:)

Hi! ☺

Download K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1275_Full, install it and use Media Player Clasic. It plays .MXF files ☺

Good luck!

Sorry Tomek

Never use third party codecs on your LNE unless you want to muck it up. There are numerous posts on this subject in this forum.

Yes and double yes. So many experiences concerning CODEC Wars on a PC to make any editor quake. Nasty stuff.

I would refine the sentence to use only that specific 3rd party codec, which is really needed.
Other wise agree, espacially codec packs are to be avoided!

+1

If you need a codec, find out which one (there are many tools to help you do this) and only install that one codec.

Using a codec pack is like taking every pill in your medicine cabinet hoping one of them will cure you… one might… but the others could kill you. Don’t do it!
