Thank you for your reply!!!
so I tried it another way around, transcoding mxf’s in ArriConverter to get Prores 4444, but they didn’t happen to be relinkable. I created a new library in FCPX, imported them and the XML of my edit, and while relinking, I was getting an error message saying that it does find clips by name but can’t relink due to difference of type of media. Like my proxies used to have sound, while my new clips does not. Who cares?! that’s so lame. I checked the original mxf’s and there is zero Audio channels showing up. The guy who made proxies somehow managed to get sound tracks in it.
I could replace the files manually but my computer knocks me out…

Yes, I did conform to camera originals (manually, without relink function).
the thing is, Avid doesn’t propose anything that looks like DnxHD 444 in transcoding options…
Those are the options:
– While exporting AAF, what I can transcode to:

– When checking on what I can transcode my original media to, in Consolidate/Transcode window:
1) if I choose Source Dimensions:

2). OR Project dimensions (proxy off)

So I’m a bit lost here. which codec would be the closest to DnxHD 444?… He also said that Apple Prores 444 would do, but I guess it would be more painful to get the AAF back into Avid once the color grading is over, since Dnx is the native Avid codec.
The colorist in offline now, we are on different continents.
Thank you for your answer again, Michael!!!

thanks you for your answer Michael! this problem is already solved! (it was export permissions issue, I redirected my export from desktop to an external hard drive and it worked!) now I’m facing yet another trouble, would really appreciate some help!
I have my sequence transcoded to DnxHD 185x, but the colorist is now asking for DnxHD 444.
I cannot figure out what would be the most appropriate codec to transcode to given that my original footage is Sony MXF files in AVC Intra 10 bits 4:2:2????
thank you in advance!
