[Avid-L2] Canon XF305 AMA plugin question...

 

Hi all,

We're running MC 4.0.5 and i'm doing some tests with canon XF305 footage. I can import the MXF files into Avid the old fashioned way no problem (comes up as XDCAM 50Mb/s). My understanding is that this footage can also be AMA'd in. I've downloaded the Canon AMA plugin and installed. Upon installation i'm told I need to download the Avid MXF plugin. The Avid website tells me i need version 5+ for the MXF plugin. So am i right in saying that i cannot use version 4 to AMA Canon XF305 footage in to Avid? This is something we need version 5 and above for? Slightly confusing because Avid claims the Canon plugin works in version 4.0.5 but then points you to another plugin which it says can only be used in version 5. Can someone confirm or deny this statement and if, indeed, i can use AMA for Canon footage in version 4.0.5 then what am i doing wrong? Link to AMA volume tells me "unable to link to any clips" and link to AMA file tells me "There are no AMA MSPs that are eligible for AMA link to files". Any of your lovely knowledge would be greatly appreciated as always. Cheers,

Andi
