Avid 5.2.1 and DVCPro HD...Bad

I have avid 5.2.1 and so far here are my findings....Working with Kakus footage, all the 720p and 1080i footage works great, no problems at all improting, haven't exported yet.

But as has been said already, the 1080 24p clips just aren't being recognized correctly by Avid. For instance, I took Kaku's 1080carspassing clip, and created a 1080p 23.976 project, but it doesn't recognize DVCpro HD, instead it recognizes the clip as a DNxHD 115 MXF or DNxHD 175 MXF, NO DVCpro HD.

Now ofcourse I can import the 108024p clips into a 1080i DVCpro timeline but not a 1080p timeline. Next I opened a 1080i project, and attempted to import kaku's raw 1080i footage, it comes up with an error message reading "the import file is not a supported XDCAM MXF file"

It can't recognize raw 1080i files, this is strange.
 
Salatar,
are you saying you got raw HVX200 1080P files to load and play in AVID Xpress HD 5.2.1?

Copy the mxf files to the following folder on the local media drive:

drive:\Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1
Avid recommends that you use the Copy function to copy files from the P2 drive. Do not use the Move function. On some systems you might have a problem deleting the files that you have moved.

use media tools to drag to bin...

Use media tools, don't you mean use import into the project bin?
 
Once the files are copied to the folder "drive:\Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1" as described above - open the MediaTool and drag the clips to the bin. There is no import process.

OMF files go into the "OMFI MediaFiles" Folder
MXF files go into the "Avid MediaFiles\MXF\1" folder

One more question, when I copy the contents of the P2 to the MXF/1 folder, the footage record onto the P2 in seperate folders labeled audio/video/clip/icon. Now do I copy each of those folders into the MXF/1 folder, or do I empty out all the contents of those folders into the MXF/1 folder?
 
Thanks for the aid, but everything follows equal. In the AviMediaFiles\MXF\1 folder I have been with a pile ofarchives MXF. Then, when import anyone of them always I have the same answer: "the import file is not a supported XDCAM MXF file" . What has to do XDCAM here?

Here's what u do eloi....you copy the mxf file into the MXF/1 folder. Then you go to: Tools/Media Tool, this pops up a window, now you select the drive to which you have the MXF/1 folder stored on and click ok. This should create a Media Tool bin that shows all the MXF files you have stored on that drive. Then select the MXF file, drag it into the project bin, and then down to the timeline. Tadah.

5.2.1

I want to upgrade my xpress pro 5.2 to the studio complete but is really a upgrade if the studio is only at 4.6 or would it be better to just by the prokit with the avid fx, graffics and dvd the buy the audio protools and digi o2?
 
For the P2 card, you copy the contents of the video and audio folder to the MXF\1 folder. They can all be in the same folder.
