Sorry about the delay in replying to your post.

I’m using FCP 5.1.4.

I eventually was able to import the footage without crashing FCP. Here’s how:

First I downloaded a trial version of MXF4QT
https://mxf4mac.com/products/mfx4qt/

This allowed me to view the MXF files in quicktime. Then I went through each MXF video file on the drive until I found one that gave me an error ‘Incomplete Data’ or something like that.

I deleted the bad file (00200A.mxf), and the associated audio files (00200A01.mxf, 00200A02.mxf etc.) and FCP was able to import the rest of the files no problem using the Import P2 Log & Capture window.

I hope this helps. Thanks for your replies,

Alan Lucchetti
