MXF Troubleshooting Tip

Mostly as a public service announcement to those of you running MXF workflows with FCPX 10.1.4 and above:

If after installing Pro Video Formats, MXF clips appear to only be 30 seconds long, it may be due to a conflict with the demo version of Calibrated{Q} MXF Import. To solve this:

Quit Final Cut Pro.
In Finder, go to /Library/QuickTime and trash the Calibrated{Q} MXF Import component.
Launch Final Cut Pro, and reimport any clips that were previously only 30 seconds long.

From there, things should start running smoothly. Stay tuned on this blog. We’ve got more Secret Sauce vids and NAB 2015 preso announcements coming soon!
