Why can’t Import P2 MXF in Sony Movie Studio 13

Did you have problem like the title describes when you want to edit P2 MXF files in Sony Movie Studio 13 after you copy them from your Panasonic camcorder to PC?

Now, I’ll write a guide to help you fix it.

In Sony website, it claims it can work with P2 MXF format, some users still have troubles when importing P2 MXF files to Sony Vegas (including Vegas Pro 13). And the following problems often complain in the forum:

Choppy frames at the end of the P2 MXF footage;
Sony Vegas is not able to import the P2 MXF video clip;
Sony Vegas crashes after the file is imported;
It takes much time to render the P2 MXF videos for Sony Vegas editing.


As I know, Sony Movie Studio 13 seems to work fine if you import your P2 MXF footages directly from cameras, but if you have already copied P2 MXF recordings to your HDD or you download them from somewhere, the importing error may jump out.

In fact, Panasonic P2 series camcorder’s video clips are all saved in 'VIDEO' folder, while audio files are all stored in 'AUDIO' folder. When copy P2 MXF recordings please make sure you have the entire MXF file structure as it saved on your camcorder's P2 card. If you only have some loose .MXF clips, your files will have image only without audio or jump out with the importing error when load to Sony Movie Studio 13.

Here I suggest you find another way to perform the task. As we all know, the most compatible video codec for Sony Movie Studio is MPEG-2, then transocoding P2 MXF files to MPEG-2 with a third party program is an easy way to edit P2 MXF videos in Sony Movie Studio 13.
