Import and edit Sony PXW-FS7 MXF in Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5

If you are using a Sony PXW-FS7 camera with Premiere Pro 6.0 or its earlier versions of CS4, CS5, CS5.5, or even Premiere Elements, you may see the error "ERROR COMPILING MOVIE: UNKNOWN" coming up when exporting a movie composed of MXF clips, whether it's to AVI, H.264, etc.. It's enough to make you want to pull your hair out. The Internet is full of discussions on this issue, but we don't know why Adobe can't fix it? The bottom line, however, is that once you convert your Sony PXW-FS7 MXF footage to H.264 using Acrok MXF Converter, there are absolutely no problems regardless of file length…which in our case is perhaps a four minute movie.
