Extensive format support

Directly access various flavors of MXF such as Sony XDCAM (OP1a), Panasonic P2 (OP-Atom) and Avid (OP-Atom). The solution is compatible with many different MXF variations coming from broadcast media, ingest, transcoding and playout devices, hard disk recorders, or software that can create MXF files. This makes MXF Import QT a versatile solution that combines direct and conversion-free realtime access to a wide range of MXF variations. Please check the compatibility list for supported camcorder and broadcast server formats. We continuously work on further format support. Please check our website frequently for the latest state of development or leave us a message. Thanks to our independent MXF core libraries and internal analyzer application we can continuously add more MXF variations from even more sources.


Edit the same media files in Final Cut Studio and Avid

For the first time Final Cut Studio applications and Avid can work with the same media files on the same storage system. MXF Import QT provides access to most Avid MXF files. Standard compression types such as Avid IMX30/40/50, DV, DVCPRO25/50, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra and Uncompressed 1:1 8-bit are being interpreted with Final Cut Pro's standard QuickTime codecs to provide full compatibility, realtime effects and video playout. Also other applications such as Motion, LiveType, Shake, Premiere Pro or After Effects can now import and edit the native Avid MXF files including DNxHD and Avid Meridien (1:1, 2:1, 2:1s, 3:1, 4:1m, 4:1s, 10:1, 10:1m, 14:1, 15:1s, 20:1, 28:1, 35:1). Avid users also benefit from MXF file preview within the media directory and when importing MXF files into Avid.


Edit-while-... just anything

updatefcpmediaMXF Import QT allows access to growing fast streaming enabled MXF files. This is a very important feature for fast access to live recordings or in general to any transferred media. The most common requirement today is edit-while-ingest which basically means access to video live recordings or file ingests. In addition this could also include various kind of file transfers such as downloads via FTP or even through a standard web browser, file copy processes between network attached workstations or even when copying a file from one local hard disk to another one. Direct access to growing files from partial restores or exports complements these requirements. MXF Import QT provides workflows for Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Studio to directly access streaming MXF files without using reference movies or other tricks. With MXF4mac Final Cut Pro became the first NLE system that was able to directly edit growing OP1a files. No background application is running and no scanning or referencing process is required.

  • Update your streaming MXF media in Final Cut Pro with just one mouse click by using the included FxPlug plug-in.
  • UpdateFCPMedia launches automatically with Final Cut Pro and provides a new user interface element to fast re-scan and update media files.
  • There is zero latency and no buffering or chunking of the recorded, ingested or transferred MXF media - you get what is there in the moment you click on the icon.
  • Live ingest and edit MXF directly from broadcast servers (see compatibility list).
  • Access and edit XDCAM D-10/IMX and DV based MXF media while the transfer from a XDCAM deck is in progress (see workflow with Xi)
  • Access your footage for time critical news and sports production in ultimate realtime speed.
  • Don't block the editing system anymore while an ingest in progress.
  • Also works with MXF files that are being checked out by Final Cut Server. You can edit OP1a files in Final Cut Pro while the check out transfer to a local client is still in progress.
  • Imagine a shooting location that can be linked to the post-production facility through a fast internet connection and start working with MXF files provided by a server. Start testing the key for blue screen footage while downloading it.
  • UpdateFCPMedia is a free addition to MXF Import QT.
