As far as we know, Adobe Premiere Pro has claimed its natively support for Canon MXF, with no transcoding required, smooth importing, strong metadata support, real-time editing, and flexible delivery options though, many Canon users still meet kinds of issues whenever importing Canon XC10 MXF files into Premiere Pro as following:

"We received .MXF video files and are unable to bring them in via import. We're on Premiere Pro CS6 (mac)."

"Tried to import MXF files to Premiere 5.5 but to no avail. The error says: The file has an unsupported compression type."
