MXF file for you to "experiment" with.

Seems there is a couple extra steps to get to the files in FCP. You'll have to run them through Quicktime first to make them available, so no direct edit of MXF. As I wrote above, for FCP you'll need to debundle the MXF to get to the content first.

Boy, that's horrible news for someone like me who just switched from Avid to FCP.
Damn dissapointing.

I think the challenge to find an NLE that will do everything we want (Mac or PC) has proven to be more difficult than finding a camera that will do everything we want.

In the FCP5 help files on working with HD and importing they go through the whole workflow for getting P2 media from the card or a harddrive into FCP. Seems you just import and FCP will do the rest, meaning see the file and convert from MXF to QT and save on your scratch disk.

So why doesn't the MXF file that is posted work? My guess is it's because it's xdcam or something.

Avid Xpress Pro on my laptop would not import it.
