MXF files don’t work in Adobe Premiere Pro CC- Solution

Summary: If you encountered problems when importing MXF files to Premiere Pro CC(no matter from Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Avid editing systems capture footage) on Mac OS X, you can follow this article to find the solution and solve it.



I am relatively new to Premiere from FCP and I've been cutting with it for a few months. I started out with CS6 because I had Snow Leopard. Just recently upgraded to Mavericks and then was able to download Premiere Pro CC. I have a project that I started in CS6 and am now having trouble with it in CC. All my MXF clips are messed up and all playback shows a white screen. My confusion is here: can we import MXF to Adobe Premiere Pro CC directly?

I read through some posts online and have found some similar (but not identical) problems. Some guys recommend to install the latest updates, try some MXF plug-ins, but still didn’t work well. After looking into this more, I know that although Adobe PP CC offers much better native MXF support than its predecessor, Avid capture MXF files, P2 MXF in P2 card PROXY, etc MXF footages still can’t be supported by Premiere Pro CC 7.

If you want to import and edit MXF files in Premiere Pro CC in a flawless way, the reliable workaround I've found so far is to transcode MXF to MPEG-2 or WMV, the most edit-friendly format for Adobe(any version).

First download Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac, an easy-to-use yet powerful high-quality MXF converter, player and editor which is compatible with any Mac OS system. With it, I can effortlessly transcoding MXF files for smoothly editing in Premiere Pro CC or Premiere Pro CS6.

It will solve MXF and Premiere Pro incompatibility quickly and easily.

*If you're using a Windows (Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista/XP) PC, download the Windows version MXF Converter.

Workflow for importing MXF to Premiere Pro CC:

1. Install and launch the Mac MXF file Converter, and then click "Add Video" button to import .MXF files. Note hat you should find the MXF video from one MXF whole structure folder.



2. Click "Format" bar and then move your pointer Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas --> MPEG-2(*.mpg) as target format. Besides, you can also choose WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) if you want to get a relatively smaller output file.



Tip: In case the default settings do not fit your requirement, you can click "Settings" button and enter "Profile Settings" panel to adjust video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channels.

3. Click Convert button to start transcoding MXF to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro CC on Mac(Mavericks).

MKV in VLC-How to Fix VLC Player stutter and lag when playing HD MKV files

Summary: This tutorial walks you through, how to stop VLC Media Player from stuttering or jumping when you are playing HD MKV files.

I have heard that the VLC Player is one of the best open source media players out there, ESPECIALLY for HD Video files, but ever since I upgraded to Mavericks 10.9.2, I've been having trouble playing .mkv files in VLC with .ass subtitles. The videos don't load for a while, and then VLC freezes and I have to force quit. What I eagerly want to know is the best solution to playing MKV in VLC successfully?

After reading several threads, I found that many users have met the VLC MKV playback issues: VLC stuttering when playing 1080p mkv; the audio(of MKV files) won't work at all; when open VLC, it just loads .mkv forever…

Well, no worry. I’ve collected 3 possible solutions to view 1080p/720p MKV with VLC flawlessly without any trouble via looking through the relevant forum.

Solution 1: Change Parameters

If the MKV file that is skipping is playing from a local hard drive, choose the "All" settings at the bottom of the dialog to show all of the options, then navigate to Input / Codecs -> Access modules -> File.

The caching value here is set in milliseconds, so setting the value to 1000 will buffer for 1 second (the default is 600, or 0.6 seconds). The problem with setting this option too large is that if you want to manually skip to a new point in the file, there will be a larger lag while the content is buffered again.

Solution 2: Disable hardware decoding

Some users resolve choppy VLC Playback on mkv files by disabling hardware decoding. Normally you would want hardware acceleration of the decoding process, but in some cases, it can conflict with your drivers, and it is worth a try.

Solution 3: Convert MKV to VLC most friendly format

Since MKV can't be supported well by VLC media player, an ultimate solution is to convert MKV to VLC most friendly format. Brorsoft Video Converter is the utility for you. With it, you can fast convert MKV to AVI that can be easily played in VLC. Besides, this video convert app can allow you to convert any other popular video and audio format like MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, VOB, AC3, MP3... with ultra-fast speed and zero quality loss. If you are Mac users, please turn to the equivalent Mac version named Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac to transcode .mkv files to VLC on Mac OS X (Mavericks included).

XF200 and Adobe-Converting MXF footage from Canon XF200 to Premiere Pro CS6/CS5

Summary: Have no clues how to import Canon XF200 .MXF into Premiere Pro for editing? Don’t worry. I will show you the importing & editing process. If have trouble editing Canon XF200 footage in Premiere Pro, there is also a workaround for you.

With every camcorder, come many different questions about workflow. The term ‘workflow’ can be fairly broad, but today I am looking at importing Canon XF200 footage into Premiere Pro.

Generally, to bring your Canon XF200 footage into Premiere Pro (Here I take Premiere Pro 5.5 as example), you don’t need any special software. Premiere supports a huge range of formats without any plugins. To start, launch Premiere and make a new project.



Select ‘New Project,’ and then choose your settings to get going.



Select from the Canon XF MPEG2 drop down menu, and choose the format in which you shot. I shot in 1080 24p. Click ‘OK,’ and Premiere will open up. To import clips visit the “Media Browser” window, which is normally found in the lower left corner of Premiere. Otherwise you can open it by going to Window -> Media Browser. In the Media Browser locate your clips:



Choose the folder with your XF200 footage into Premiere Pro and Media Browser will allow you to view your clips. Media Browser assembles any spanned clips as well. Bring the clips that you wan to import into your project by either dragging them into the project window, or choosing File -> Import from Media Browser. Premiere will look through the folder for anything it can bring in, but because it only reads the actual Canon MXF files you will get some errors. Now your clips are in Premiere and ready to edit, special thanks to Adobe for helping get this right.



The point here, many XF200 users especially the new users find it a painful experience when ingesting Canon MXF to Adobe Premiere Pro from XF200 camcorders as MXF is not an ideal format for editing. Fortunately, there is a solution to fix the issues.

To solve the incompatible trouble you’d better change Canon XF200 MXF to a native format for importing to Premiere Pro. You can transcode MXF to MPEG-2 encoded MPG files, which maintains maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Premiere Pro. If you also want to play it with QuickTime, you can reformat XF100 MXF to MOV videos. If you want to get a smaller file for quickly editing, you can encode Canon XF100 MXF to WMV.

Well, Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac is the best choice for you. It’s an easy-to-use yet powerful high-quality MXF converter, player and editor which is compatible any Mac OS system. I’ve used this tool for a long time rewrapping Canon XF100 and Panasonic P2 (AG-HPX300) MXF recordings for Premiere FCP, iMovie, Avid MC and more. With it, I can effortlessly transcoding MXF files for smoothly editing in Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5. If you’re working on Windows(Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista/XP), please get MXF Converter.

Converting Canon XF200 MXF to Adobe Premiere Pro

Step 1: Run the professional Mac XF200 MXF to Premiere Pro Converter.

After connecting your Canon XF200 camcorder to Mac via USB, you can just drag and drop them to the program window. Or click “Add” to load mxf videos, otherwise you can “Add from folder” to load all the raw videos in .mxf format.



Step 2: Click “Format” bar and then move your pointer Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas —> MPEG-2(*.mpg) as target format. Besides, you can also choose WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) if you want to get a relatively smaller output file.



Tip: In case the default settings do not fit your requirement, you can click “Settings” button and enter “Profile Settings” panel to adjust video size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channels.

Step 3: Click Convert button to start transcoding MXF to MPEG-2 for Premiere Pro on Mac OS X.

Once the conversion completes, you can click “Open” to find the .MPG videos which can be directly imported to Premiere Pro. You’ve done. As you see, now you can import and edit Canon XF200 MXF files in Premiere Pro without problem.

Additional Tips:
