Pro Video Formats

I've tried to install Pro Video Formats on my iMac and it appears to install successfully but it doesn't appear in the System Report under software installations and Final Cut still won't import an MXF. Whats up? MacOs 10.15.4 and FCPX 10.4.8.

iMac 27", macOS 10.15

I think I may confused matters. Can I start this one again?


I have received an MXF from a colourist, exported from Da Vinci.

I tried to import into FCP and the error message is:

"None of the selected files can be imported".


I have tried to open it in Quicktime and the error message is:

"The file isn't compatible with Quicktime".


I have exported one of my own projects to MXF and reimported it and it's fine with both FCP and QT, so I guess I have Pro Video Formats installed.


I have managed to open the problem MXF in my own version of Da Vinci and created a new timeline. The question is, why does FCP and QT not like it?

VLC does open it eventually (117GB) and MediaInfo says:
