Open the MXF File in QT Player first, this changes the TypeCode to the one set in Calibrated{Q} MXF Options,
and then you should have no problem importing the MXF file into FCP as the TypeCode has now been updated.
7. I have a problem with importing MXF files into Shake.
With Shake on Mac OSX, you must set the BaseFile Type to QuickTime Movie for MXF Files.

Troubleshooting in Final Cut Pro 6/7
1. MXF Camera MetaData does not import into Final Cut Pro 7
Only Reelname (as set in the Global Options) and TimeCode is reported for FCP. Other Camera Metadata is not
reported to FCP 7.
2. I get an error when trying to import a MXF file into FCP , the error is “FILE ERROR: UNKNOWN FILE”
Please see this question/answer in the previous troubleshooting section.
3. I have a clip that is spanned across multiple MXF files, while Calibrated{Q} MXF Import make the multiple MXF

files the MXF files will still only be opened or imported as individual MXF files.
4. MXF files into are not playing in RealTime in Final Cut Pro.
For Final Cut Pro – please insure that your timeline is setup properly. If your timeline is setup properly, your
computer may not be fast enough for RealTime playback in FCP. All video decoding in FCP is handled by the
Apple QuickTime codecs.

the ‘refresh’
in Calibrated{Q} Import Assist to update the duration of any MXF files you had imported into Final Cut while in
DEMO MODE. (see Chapter: Use with Mac OSX Applications and Chapter: Calibrated Refresh for FCP for more
details)

Calibrated{Q} MXF Options application (see Chapter 3: Global Options and Chapter 5: Use with Mac OSX
