I'm working in 4k for the first time. I've got footage from a variety of sources, and I'm working on a 4k timeline (see sequence settings below).

When I try to render between In and Out points, I get the following error when Premiere gets to certain MXF files. All the MXF files came from a Sony FS5 camera, shooting in one of the flatter "log" picture modes (can't remember exact setting).

It renders some of them fine, but some I had to reconvert into ProRes.

I'd like to work directly from the MXF files if possible.

I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro 16GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6 with Adobe Creative Cloud 2015, Premiere version 2015.4 release, v.10.4.0(30) build.

  • This is not a complete answer in that it does not address the 4K question. I don't have a SONY F5 so cannot test, but I suspect that Pro CC 2017 (not 2015) probably does support the MXF format of the SONY F5. Thus, the correct answer is probably "upgrade PPro CC 2015 to PPro CC 2017". But again, I cannot test it as I don't have the proper source material. Feb 27, 2017 at 11:19

    This is what I did, and 2017 does appear to have fixed the issue.
