Hi Guys,
Long time Media composer user and like most of you have had a few head scratching moments along the way but this one has me.
Running 8.4 on a HP elite book Win 7 pro at the moment and up until this point its been pretty rock solid.
My Normal workflow is Sony PMW500 xdcam hd MXF 50 bit 422 import or AMA which has worked a treat for many years.
Client has just given me footage from the Sony PMW 400 which are XDCAMEX MP4. So apprently you cant just Import as i do with the PMW500 but when i try to AMA they come up with 'WRONG FORMAT' in the viewer. Audio is there but no matter what i do i cant get the video.
Files are 1080 25p 35mb mp4s. have tried mulitple Project settings and flavours but always the same issue. no video. have searched online and tried different things but just no luck.
Files open without issue in Sony Catalyst Browse so i knoe they work. Even tried Transcoding in Catalyst to DNxHD but that still had 'Wrong Format#@
Anyone out there use these files and or have had this issue please?
cheers
Charlie
