Check your sequence settings for the compositing option. Try un-checking “composite in linear color.”

How are you watching the exported files? There’s a widely-known issue with QuickTime Player, where levels are not displayed properly. Using another player (try VLC) will show you a more accurate representation of the levels.
What was the codec in the MXF files?

Absolutely. But for the material already in the can, editing will be smoother with ProRes proxies or full transcodes.

Do Atomos and BMD recorders perform conversions to existing media files? Maybe Melvin is referring to using one of those as an actual recorder, rather than recording internally. Doing so would save transcode time, but add some bulk to your shooting rig.
Otherwise, you just transcode from camera originals to ProRes or DNx. As mentioned, the files will be very large, but will scrub and edit smooth like buttah.
The other option, of course, is to create proxies of all your h265 originals and edit with those low-overhead files I like ProRes Proxy, but LT is also good. When you’re ready for grading, you turn off proxies, plus all your exports (as long as your high-res media are still online) will reference the original media.

Then you may want to transcode to Cineform, ProRes or DNx for smoother editing. Long-GOP codecs like h264 take a lot of processing to edit and play back, so if you’re going to use a lot of them, making new files for editing might be worth checking out.

Can’t you just sort the bin, multi-select the clips and drag them all to a timeline?

Try this: with your multicam viewer active, right-click in the multicam viewer and choose Multi Camera Audio Follows Video

In CC18, Essential Graphics clips don’t function as clips. When you create one, it doesn’t show up in any bin – it just lives on the timeline. You can’t even drag it from the timeline into a bin. So I wouldn’t expect it to function as normal clips do.
I just opened CC17 and did a test, where an EG graphic was draggable to a bin. But this seems to have changed in CC18.
