Anyone here used Raylight MXFx2 ?

[EDV]

Not yet sure why you'd want to convert MXF to MXF but I tried out the demo anyway.
I did noticed though, that a 1920 x 1080 MXF recorded @ 25 fps would convert to, once imported into after effects, a squarish 1280 x 1080 MXF @ 24 fps !
My composition settings were 1920 x 1080 (16:9) @ 25fps, so I don't understand why it would do this. I had to individually resize every MXF clip to fit the 1920 x 1080 composition window, but all the clips were now @ 24fps.

Any ideas?

Raylight is meant for FCP users who want to access MXF directly in FCP and in QuickTime. If you're working in say Premiere or Avid it's not needed.

Does Raylight for Mac support AVC-Intra? I'm trying to read mxf footage from P2 cards in Final Cut Pro and confused as to whether I should be looking at that product or MXFX2 for Mac...

The Raylight for Mac website only mentions DVCPROHD, so just curious... going to test tomorrow with the demo but would appreciate any feedback.

Raylight for Mac will be updated in the near future to support AVC-Intra. The current version does not support AVC-Intra.
