We deliver almost everything as a XDCam50 MXF Op1A file. Our
organization still keeps tape masters so my deliverables include 2 HDCAM
tapes. Most producers also want a playable file so I make them a MP4
with H.264. Requests for DVD's are less frequent but I still get them.
Blurays too.
On the input side, it's the wild west. It seems like camera / recorder
manufacturers / footage suppliers design new variants of codecs and
wrappers every day. Most can be linked (the process formerly known as
AMA) into Media Composer, though finding the correct plugin can be a bit
of a crap shoot. Occasionally, an old fashioned import is a better
bet. Sometimes (my last choice) I resort to transcoding to an Avid
friendly format in AME, Catalyst, Sorenson, Resolve, or whatever I can
find that works. Once or twice, I've just told the producer to get me a
file I can live with. I still capture off tape too, but that has become
very rare. --J.B.
