MXF Files not showing

Hi,

I'm doing a video with some files from the P2 HD, the MXF files, I manage to import them by downloading the driver from the panasonic website. Now I have been working and so far so good, just that some times, the clips just don't show, it appears black where should be the image... also with the sound, I have a sound track, that plays just half, the other half doesn't play anything, the playhead keeps going and the waveform makes the drawing of the curves as if there was sound but u cannot here anything...

does anybody know what could solve this? specially with the sound, I need that track and now I can't hear it..

Thanks

#15 White or Black Canvas or Viewer

Shane's Stock Answer #15: White or Black Canvas or Viewer

Make sure the canvas or viewer are selected then go to VIEW>CHANNELS and set it to RGB. It might be set to ALPHA.

Or is it something else? Did you import using Log and Transfer? Could you see them in that interface?

Well the thing is that the file doesn't show complete, it shows only a part, at the beginning its all fine and from the middle on, its all black, now I realized that every time that I set a clip on top on another video track and then take it out again, it asks for preview render, and when I render it, it shows black... the original file doesn't show that part of the clip, so kind of its missing somewhere...

OK...go back to the original media. Load that into the Log and Transfer window. Can you see everything there? Perhaps you need to try importing again.

I sent the files off line and then connected them with a copy of the material, ant it keeps happening the same thing, some parts of the audio and some of the video are gone, I don't really get it...

At the beginning I thought it was because before I use the Files in Motion, but then I remembered that I only exported a Quicktime and then this QT used it in Motion... I'm really confused...
