The Sony F3 produces XDCAM EX. It sounds like some already transcoded the files for you to use in AVID. They probably could have saved a bunch of time and just given you the raw XDCAM files since you have to AMA the files anyway. AMA is the way to go on this.

Thanks Gregg.
That's very helpful.
I just installed the MXF AMA-plug-ins as well as the XDCam AMA-Plug-Ins.
Hopefully it will all work as advertised ;)
Cheers,

you will be AMAing. If they give you the files on a drive copied from SxS make
sure you have the base folder for each card that you can link to or AMA won't
work.

it? Wouldn't this be from an externally-connected recorder? In which case it
could be anything, including interleaved .MOV and not .MXF files. Or... it could
be interleaved .MXF files like Alexa.
