Canon XF-100 ok with AE on Mac?

Hi All..

we are considering picking up a Canon XF-100 as our acquisition camera.

Are these MXF files ok with After Effects natively, or will we need to transcode via Prelude?

Thanks...

Alex

These files work fine in CS5.5 (10.5) and CC (12.0), but there is a bug with Canon XF files in CS6.

Is this the sort of bug that will be fixed or is CS6 EOL now that CC has been announced?

We'll be doing bug fixes for CS6.

I don't know whether this bug will get into that update, since the problem was pretty deep in a component that we license from a third party. The best way to register your vote is to submit a bug report here and ask for the fix to get into CS6:
