Tried installing calibrated Q. It didn’t work, but maybe that’s because it was the demo version.

It did make Premiere think it could read the .mxf files even though it didn’t result in footage playback. It also seems to have messed up images loading in Safari.

I think I’m going to bite the bullet on this and just go with a shot by shot reconstruction of the Avid cut.

Hey Michael

I mentioned that I did try that, but the problem is that the stuff in my AVID timeline is reading from .mxf files, and premiere doesn’t read those. I need to change the .mxf with raw footage from another capture, but I don’t know how to switch the footage.

A straight swap is a problem too in that it would be out of sync because the different captures didn’t start on the same frame. It is easy to make subclips that do start on the same frame, but I don’t know how to replace footage with a subclip.

Man, that’s wordy. Chart version, I need:

raw .avi footage —>subclip—>replace .mxf that subclip now matches—>.aaf—->premiere

I don’t have final cut. Oh, and I was checking back because I forgot to say, MC 6 and CS 5.5.

Thanks for the reply!
