I agree that it seems like a misread of the metadata. No, there has been no change in the file structure since I started the project.
I am new to using MXF in Premiere. with FCP, I always transcoded to prores or xdcam before editing, so I am unsure where to find the info on data rate for the clips. When I select properties for one of the MXF files I get this info…
I appreciate any help I can get. would love to solve this problem.

new info. The starting timecode for each of the clips is the starting timecode of the last clip within each spanned clip. (not sure if there is a simpler way to explain that)
for example, one spanned clip has three subclips adding up to about 11 minutes of footage. there are two that are 5:13 and one that is 10 seconds. the starting TC should be 1;06;15;12 and ending at 1;16;52, but it is 1;16;42;00 on each of the three subclips and then running into timecode numbers that also exist on the clip right after this one.

The troubling thing is that when I first brought the clips in and created review files with a timecode burn, everything was fine. now that I have opened it in CC as opposed to CS6, I am having problems. When I try re-importing, it does the same thing.
I would be ok doing as you suggest, but the problem with that is that the timecode numbers are still incorrect, creating duplicate numbers and conflicts.
Is the canon utility called the Canon XF Utility? does that interact with Premiere in any way or is that just a stand-alone app that I can use to view clips independently of my editing software?
thanks.

After looking into this more, it appears that I could just pull out the first clip within my spanned clips and the entire clip is there. However, when I do this, the timecode numbers are wrong but I can’t seem to figure out why that would be. The starting timecode of the one that I’m troubleshooting is about 10 minutes downstream of where it should be, which is almost the length of the entire spanned clip. not sure if that is relevant or not. frustrating.

I just opened Prelude for the first time and went to ingest to view the clips and it seems that they see the same thing. I went to one particular spanned clip with three subclips inside and they all look like the same clip.
I also went to my external drive, where I have the original files and they look the same when viewed in premiere pro.
thanks.

Thanks, Todd. That’s what I figured but I didn’t want to just make the assumption. Based on your signature, it seems that you would know.
