Hi all- thanks for the replies.
I never resolved the issues regarding the unsupported format. However, having tried P2CMS (“This is no movie file”) and other tools to fix structure or file problem I think I can say its filed under “Folder errors/bad copying etc”. In the end I used the trad workaround dragging all the MXF files into FCP (via the Calibrated MXF plugin) and handsynced the material. Because I could sort the material (per P2card) on TC start I managed to sync about 6 hours in 90 minutes. Not an ideal solution, but I had no choice given the deadline of the project. And yes, it helped drinking Red Bull at the time 😉

Best, RL

Thanks a lot Jeremy.
Will check it out.
Update: During my sleep my brain actually “discovered” something I did not see yesterday: that some of the other reels (I worked on three of the twelve) lacked the LASTCLIP.txt, so funny you should mention those. Seems to me now that the camera assistant who did the copying did a sloppy job, so my issue might stem from folder structure issues too.
Well well… (*sees the entire workday pass by*). Thanks a lot anyhow. Will give a heads up if I find out anything else while rebuilding those txt files.

So to conclude:
Thumbnail in L&T OK.
Greyed out preview window with “Preview unsupported for this format” – unable to import.
Lacking Lastclip.txt on several reels

Wonder about buying HD log or MXF4Mac /Raylight if those can help me.
