So I was able to extract the Canon MXF plugin on a friends Macbook and copy the files over to my machine, this has given me the proper plugins for the AMA. However I am still having the same issues trying to import the files via AMA into AVID.

Open to any other ideas….

I definitely do not have the canon one… I guess the automatic installer doesn’t work. If you could send me the plugin by email that would be great! I am on a Mac as well so that’s really helpful.

The plugin I do have was a dmg I mounted and it only had one file that was a picture of a CD with an arrow going down through it and install was part of the name. I’d screenshot it but I’m away from the computer at the moment. Not sure if that sounds like the right one though. The name of the file I downloaded from Canon was “xpmm-2-0-3-8-9l.dmg”.

I did download it and install it from Canon. However I’m not sure if it installed correctly… It would show an extracting progress bar then just disappear after finishing. The only plugin I can see in Avid in regards to MXF is the one I mentioned in my first post.

I just gave it a read, I’ve done what that thread covers. I’ve tried importing the “Contents” folder but it did not work. The files have not been changed in name from the camera and the original file structure (Contents – CARD001 – AAxxxx – Media).

Just in case it was a specific folder in the file structure I actually tried them all. None of them worked unfortunately…

Also the C300 isn’t buried too deep… but as I mentioned before I am doing this for a Documentary. They will be shooting over the next few months and as the footage adds up I want to avoid having it all just on the root of the drive. Right now it’s under a media folder, then date, then cards to the footage. So not too far down, but I also want to avoid bringing it up as it will create quite a messy drive down the road.

I have actually tried the alt drag in but it came back with an error stating “Could not auto-detect clip format”. Is there a setting in Avid I can change to make this an MXF AMA link if I option drag in? I couldn’t seem to find it if so…

Thanks for the response! Really want to get to the bottom of this….

Alright so I tried syncing the audio track with the left eye track and creating a subclip with the same name. I set the S3D Channel to left eye, made sure the S3D Group name was the same, and tried to pair it with the right eye. I’ve made sure that the subclip created is still the exact same length. When I try to pair them I now get the all the audio tracks. However the video either displays only the left eye, right eye, or nothing at all, and seems to spontaneously switch between the three.

Any ideas how to fix this?

In terms of selecting the L,R, and audio file, what would be the best way to assure it’s all synced when I combine them, since the audio track is a different length?

Thanks!
