MXF weirdness: Footage looks different on playback {Premiere CS6)
Hello all;
so I’m working with these files I shoot with a Canon C300. Is not my first time doing this so I took precautions like copying the whole folder structure and all those steps.
So everything was fine until I dropped the first file into Premiere Pro CS6, and what I found is that the colors were more… uhm… saturated? Or maybe its just more bright? or contrasted? I added a pic for you to see the difference Hope that helps.
The WEIRD part of this is that, when I scroll through the timeline (pressing the cursor) the footage looks good again! But when I release the cursor, again! all this saturation pops up.
So, on the pic you can see on the left side how the footage looks when I drop it into the timeline (thats the source view, which also looks all saturated like that), and on the right side you see how the original footage looks like, and how it should look all the time in Premiere; but it only looks like that when I press the space bar or when I scroll though the timeline (which is what I was doing when I took the print screen.
I tried moving the footage to different drives (with different speeds) and nothing changed.
Oh, and If I press SPACE BAR the footage looks good while goes through the timeline, but when I press it again and stops, looks horrible again.
This would not be THAT BAD if I could render my footage with the original look, but CANT DO THAT EITHER.When I EXPORT from Premiere the footage looks saturated too.
So… Hope you can help me guys with this! Im kinda freaking out since I only have 4 days to edit this! THANKS THANKS THANKS!

MORE INFO:
I tried other formats like AVI, H24 and MP4. They all work perfectly.
I also noticed that with the MXF files are the only ones where I dont get any color line on the Work Area Bar. If I try to render it Premiere will just play it normally.
