can't import MXF

Hello,

I have a bunch of MXF files encoded with Avid DNxHD which were created with Adobe Media Encoder on a windows PC. FCPX, Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, Compressor and no other converting program I have (I have many) can't open or import them. Only VLC. I thought Final Cut could open MXF? Premiere reports an unknown error. I have all Avid DNxHD codecs installed. What can I do?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 16 GB, Nvidia GeForce GTX 680MX
