It's really a big boost that Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, CC offers much better native MXF support than its predecessor. However, different MXF source files work differently in Premiere Pro CC. Many MXF video users have encountered the issue to import P2 MXF, 4K MXF, XAVC MXF files to Adobe Premiere Pro CC on Mac or PC:

"I have a Sony PMW-350K camera and record some MXF videos by it. Each .mxf file is in its own folder which contains a .sum and a .xml file. I have been trying to transcode these MXF files to mov and mpg in order to edit in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Every conversion attempt fails because the files cannot be recognized. I have tried some converting tools. Nothing works. Does anyone have a suggestion?"

"I have an interview which lasts around 33 minutes giving me 7 MXF clips. No matter which way I import the clips and which clip I choose to import I always get the full 33 minute clip. However for some unknown reason, Premiere Pro CC has merged the spanned clips into the wrong order instead of playing back clip 1 then clip 2 and so on. It plays in reverse."

"I can't import Sony PXW-X70 XAVC .mxf file into Premiere CC on my Mac Yosemite 10.10. While importing, always got the error message. I tried everything! I don't understand why I can edit my Canon MXF files in CC but the file from my colleague seems not to be importable. Have I lost some important metadata?"
