• "Bringing .MXF files into Avid-We received a drive with .MXF video files and are unable to bring them in via import or link to AMA. We're on Avid 5.5 (mac). Of course this footage is needed urgently and we've never dealt with this type of file before. Your advice will be greatly appreciated!"
• I'm running a MC 5.5.2. trial version on my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to link MXF files to MC with the use of AMA. But with no luck. The footage was shot on Ikegami camera stored on NLT fieldpacks (not the newer GFpak). I have downloaded and installed the Ikegami GFCAM AMA plugin and the MXF AMA plugin, but when I try to link I get the message "Unable to link to any clips at Volume
• Im not really an editor but i edited something for a friend. I got the colored footage back from our colorist and they are mxf files which I don't know much about. I transferred the files into the MXF folder in the Avid Media files folder then tried opening them up with the media tool but when i open up the project all the files are the ones that are already apart of the project. Im kind of confused as to what i'm supposed to do in the beginning. Am I doing something wrong? Why aren't the files showing up? Also im working on mac.
