MXF files error on Premiere-Windows 10

Hello there I was working on my Mac Pro, but due to difficulties in managing the project's size, I had to transfer it to my Windows desktop.

Since the transfer, I have encountered issues with my Adobe Premiere software. Specifically, I am experiencing errors while attempting to read certain MXF files. Additionally, the software seems unable to reconnect some files in the same card or folder as the working files, in the other hand all the MXF files working properly in my Mac Pro.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have regarding this matter. Please note that I prefer to explore alternatives to transcoding the videos, as I believe it may not be the most optimal way.

 Now i just found this, if I change the file name it will work normally, I tried deleting the project cache but still the only way to make it work is to change the file name, any ideas.

First, transcoding is a standard, staple tool in high-end video post workflows. Especially in long-form work.

 

And most colorists I know will say t-code nearly all H.264 clips prior to setting up their timeline for grading.

 

If done overnight or while at lunch, doesn't even slow you down.

 

All that said, what generated those specific files? What is different about them from the others?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I know that for sure and you're right, but the adobe premiere should read the normally and thjats my issue.

About the files there is no difference as you can see in the picures all of them XDCAM-HD, an example in this folder clip 1-4 are not working but the rest are ok and on OSX all of them working properly!
