Hey John,

I’ve worked with xf-avc files from c300s and c70s without issue, I would assume an R5 is the same.

Your posts reminds me though that I need to make a Feedback Request for canon raw support…transcoding sucks.

Thanks for your reply.

These files will be .mxf. Can I assume that Flame imports any mxf files?

Yes.

If they shot log, you may want to verify which flavor (clog 2 or 3)…I can’t remember if it’s in the metadata and I’m not near my machine to check.

flame certanly does not import all mxf files.

mxf is a container that can contain anything, from arriraw to h265 , prores and anything in between.
