XDCAM MXF files with separate audio tracks- how to ingest?
My company’s production studio at our corporate headquarters did a shoot for us today, and the resulting files are MXF files, with 2 separate audio files for each clip. What is the easiest way to go about editing with these types of files in Premiere, so I’m not constantly shuffling and trying to manually synchronize the audio and video tracks? There must be a better way.

I am seeing this a week later so it is probably too late, but
Typically stuff like this happens when someone manages to alter the MXF file structure. (Unless you are describing a Dual System workflow, in which case you can ignore the rest of this post)
I am not experienced with XDcam, but have used most of the other MXF formats (P2, AVCHD, Canon XF etc) .
Assuming XDcam works the same way … if the media you recorded on was transfered correctly, the audio and video should be synced when you open the folder in the Premiere Pro Media Browser.
If it’s not too late go back to the original media and backup and then ingest per Sony’s best practices and it should work.Jeff Beaumont

It most likely wasn’t transferred properly, and that’s my fault. I didn’t know any better when I was copying it over.
I’ll have to remember this for next time!
Thanks.
