Transcoding long MXF files that are split into multiple files for us in Premiere
Hello all,
Working on a project which has grown from just using MXFs from an FS7 and a C300, to now having several different file types across it. Now that it’s time to start exporting, it has predictably become unstable and keeps crashing on me. It exports to 100% and then crashes leaving me with an unusable file.
I’ve gone back and consolidated the used rushes in an attempt to transcode everything by dumping it in Media Encoder and setting it to prores422, and matching source for sizing.
My question is, with the MXFs that are long, they tend to split into 2.09GB sized files. I am assuming that when I pop them in M.E they will transcode as individual clips, which will make my relinking a nightmare. Does anyone know a good workaround for this?
Many thanks
ps. I know this is a terrible and backwards way of doing this. I am no editor, just the director with some editing knowledge that had the project foisted on him. I bow to you oh great wizards.

I’ve come across a similar problem recently. What worked for me is switching openGL to software encoder(bottom of your export list in m.e.). Depending on your system and timeline this could take a lot longer but it did the job.
Hope it helps,

I’ll give that a go now and update the outcome. Thanks Rowdy!
