Why Blackmagic DNxHD MXF & Adobe Premiere Elements 13/12 importing issues exsit?

Premiere Elements is an app that makes your movies look great, it claims that you don’t have to worry about your camera skills or capturing the perfect shot. Make movies your way, and style them with cool effects and motion titles.



However, lots of people annoyed with incompatibility issues when import DNxHD MXF from Blackmagic to Premiere Elements13/12, and it keeps saying that it doesn’t have the right codec. How can it solved?

From the Blackmagic Video Assist we know that the Blackmagic camcorder captures in ProRes 422 HQ and Avid DNxHD MXF files, and it claims that the recordings can be work with popular editing software such as DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer without having to transcode or convert the files.

Why importing issues still exsit?

After multi-testing we confirm that Adobe Premiere Elements13/12 seems to work fine if you import your DNxHD MXF footages directly from Blackmagic camcorder or SxS card, but if you have already copied DNxHD MXF recordings to your HDD, the importing error may jump out.
