On MC 8.9.3
AVID man, AVID fan (since 1993 with version 4.5 - before multiple tracks!)...like to solve my own problems and I try not to bother anyone unless I'm really stumped.
Found a clunky workaround.
I search for all the MXF files via the finder for those folders, then option drag them into a folder.
Still...AMA import SHOULD work, no?
hello?
Hey, Fish, this works on my system (I select the Private folder in the Source Browser selection window (right window)).
Are you sure you've got the right sony AMA plugins installed?
Jason
yes...even purchased some nablets. Very stubborn.

It's a half-fix.
You'll get media but not the associated metadata from the camera. So you won't - for example - know what Profile the camera was set to, and therefore, what LUT (if required) should be added.

Yeah, well...the Avid always did a piss-poor job of figuring out which LUT to apply anyway. I always stripped off it's "suggestion" and made my own recipe.
The description of my problem is remarkably similar to this forum post: http://community.avid.com/forums/p/180489/841141.aspx
Yet, any solutions they provide don't work or apply to me.
This is very sad. I had a great workflow before and now it's clunkier and slower.
And, once again..I appear to be alone in my plight.
Sigh.
Just for the record... completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the MC software. Same problem. I've lost my source browser's power to AMA import.
However...on the plus side: if I option drag the MXF clips in and then try to transcode in the BG,
that appears to be working!!!
At least for the one clip I tried.
But the browser does not update the progress bar without me hitting refresh.
