My Canon XA25 .mxf files won't import into Adobe Premier Pro 6.0.3... Keep getting a "generic error".... and I've tried everything! I've downloaded the Canon utilitiy, tried merging the clips, tried isolating the .mxf files, tried not touching the clip structure at all.....
Now I want convert them into any format that Premiere Pro adopts. The key point is I don't want to loss any of the audio channels that I recorded with two microphones. Is that any work flow for this?
The Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 isn't well compatible with the tough ""MXF"" file format. In the case, convert MXF file from Canon XA25 to Premiere Pro CS6 well compatible file format like Prores .mov can be an effective way, and it will make the editing work much smooth and easier. But how to keep the original multi audio channels?
