An example of the format I experimented with would be something a little lossier like mp4.

Sure can. This may be where the gaps in my knowledge start making themselves evident. The files I’ve been provided are raw footage from a production company of some sort. They were created with a Sony FS5 in 4K, and I’m importing them into 1440×1080 project. As far as I’m aware, the codec is h.264

Thank you for your response! I may have been mistaken in attributing any shortcomings to the file format itself as it’s likely just a limitation of After Effects, but the quality of MXF files naturally makes them rather large, and it seemed to bog down my system substantially more to process all that data with effects such as keylight and color correction than on a similar file in a smaller format. Given that I’m running a Core i9 with 64 gig of ram, I assume it’s not a hardware bottleneck?
