That file is definitely FCP-X and probably won’t open in 7. Internally it is XAVC 50 mbit, and decodes fine as XAVC, but Shane is right. The fastest way is to get the camera original.

Hi Steve,

The MCC has no default size, so you may want to try adjusting your project settings before importing. In general, the MCC is associated with 1080p/i or 720p, and SCC is associated with PAL/NTSC.

Cheers, James

Steve,

I don’t believe we can set the number of lines to use from a subtitle to a caption format, but it’s something we should probably add. For a sidecar, it would really depend on the target player. WebVTT is nice and standard, and would work with most web based systems. MCC/SCC and others will work with more advanced players, but not the web ones.

Hi Steve

You could try converting the SRT to an MCC, and then import that input Premiere. We have a beta converter online that’s free to try, if you want to give it a go:

Ah, missed that. I don’t know of anything free that handles AAF for free, but worst case DrasticPreview is only 99$

DrasticPreview will read the AAF data track directly and display it and also read the output files and display closed caption overtop of the video. Full disclosure, I work for Drastic

If you look at the MOV output in QuickTime Player, is there a text track in? Or does MediaInfo see any caption tracks at all?

Its not uncompressed, but I am huge fan of Camtasia. It does an amazing job and even comes with a ‘screencast’ dedicated editor that has all the nice little arrows, highlights and fly outs. No fuss

Hi Paul

All the C300 footage I have seen only has 2 channels embedded in the MXF file. Have you checked it with MediaInfo? If so, the MediaReactor AMA plug in should read up to 16 channels of audio in an MXF. Its free to try: https://www.mediareactor.ws

Yes it will. I have that exact setup and it works great for 1080 and 720.

Cheers, James
