The first thing I did was to use Premiere. It worked perfectly, but I didn't want to go through that much import/export/transcode. I ended up buying a $35 video converter called Brorsoft Video Converter that read the C300 files from the folders and converted them directly to DNxHD media. It turned out perfectly. The files still had to be imported into Avid but it was a relatively quick import. The transcode was about double real time (twice as long as real time).

But I can't get Premiere to actually PLAY the footage.
