Summary: MXF files not reading in Premiere Pro CS6! If you get the importing error message while importing Sony PMW-200 XDCAM MXF media files to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, the MXF to Premiere Pro CS6 Converter will be the best solution for you.

Sony have been listening and as a result of customer feedback they developed the new PMW-200 handheld camcorder. Designed to meet the needs of broadcast productions the camera records on to solid state media using 50 Mbit/s 4:2:2 XDCAM HD. This is the exact same codec as used in the highly regarded PDW-700, F800 and PMW-500 shoulder mount broadcast camcorders.



I had a friend do me a favor, let me borrow his Sony PMW-200- a great looking camera - for a shoot. While my workflow with Sony Vegas works perfectly with these files, but my Premiere don't always have the codec for .mxf files. Well I would like to say Adobe Premier Pro imports and edits XDCAM formats in the native recording codec. So to edit Sony PMW-200 XDCAM media in Adobe Premiere smoothly, the easy workaround is to transcode Sony XDCAM MXF to MPEG-2 or MOV or WMV format which is friendly with Premiere.
