Hi Lee thank you for your response, unfortunately I’ve tried this and it is not working. I’ve tried uninstalling my whole avid, reinstalling a trial of MCv7 (looked like canon plugin was only supported up to MC7) and trying again to no avail.
As Mike mentioned above, I think somehow ingesting at the native 50mb and cutting online may be my only option. I’m using log/transfer in FCP. In preferences changing the Canon XF plugin to transcode to: native, which is reading it as a 50mb Canon XF file, then ingesting that into Avid and selecting to ingest at the native resolution – which is reading as XDCAM 50mb. It’s a hassle but even if I got the AMA to work now I’d be terrified to online a full feature with all these issues I’ve had, so maybe just cut in online since it’s not that much bigger than 36.
I wish I had another Avid to try this from as well so I could better try and isolate the problem, but I do not have one available.
