user4971: Hi I'm having issues with my MXF files in Premiere Pro cs5. When I bring my mxf files into my project its only playing back audio, i can't even see video. It's like its only reading it as audio. 
If I play the mxf file outside of Preimere in VLC I am able to see the video and audio. 
Is there an extension I need or something? 
Premiere Pro cs5
Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 
Shot on Cannon c300
Thanks

user11454: you could also try an intermediate workflow, like transcoding the MXF files into an appropriate ProRes container. This most likely would be 422Proxy. 
The Canon C300 codec is a variation of XDCAM (source: http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/editing-with-canon-c300-footage-tips-for-when-it-all-goes-wrong/) I personally do not like to edit in Long-GOP or predictive frame codecs. So transcoding to an inter-frame codec like ProRes or DNX is always a safe bet.
