MXF Import Problems with Premiere CS5
I am trying to import files shot on a P2 card (Panasonic HVX200). Some files import no problem, but some will not come in. When I click on the problem files to import them individually, they instead show up as other files already imported! Example: (I’ll use fake file names for simplicity)
My files:
001
002
003
004I click all four files to import, and when I do, I’ll get 001, 001, 002, and 003 in my Project window. 004 will not show up as a file I imported. When I try to click on 004 to import that file, 001 will simply show up again, as if that is the file I clicked on.
Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated.

You need to import P2 media via the Media Browser panel. This will properly link in spanned clips (single video clips made up of multiple files) and the audio associated with the video as well.

The problem still persists. I only shot on one card. In the Media Browser, it is only recognizing 7 of my 11 clips. If I try to import any of the 4 remaining clips manually, they just show up as another file that is already there. For example, if I import file “123,” instead of “123” showing up, a file names “456” will show up.

Now that I take a second look at my clips, I may have my entire project there, and therefore I’m not sure what the remaining mxf files are. Is it possible the camera would create additional mxf files that aren’t really video clips?
And yes, I admit I wasn’t using the Media Browser to import before. -
If you have spanned clips, they show up as a single clips in Premiere Pro _if_ you use the Media Browser, even though the clips are made up of multiple files.

In PPro, there will be a tab/window “Media Browser”. Import from there.

Have you tried to convert MXF to MP4 HD or MPEG-2 HD to import MXF to Premiere?
