No thumbnails for Canon mxf files

[Ann Bens]

After update to 2017 on W10 no more thumbnails for Canon mxf files.

In other words cannot play any video.

Anyone?

Solved it:

Installed XF Utility for W10.

Alas no thumbnails/playback for 2017.

Back to CS6 which did/does give thumbnails and playback.

To David__B  : I unchecked the correct answer as its not the correct one, it did not solve the issue for 2017.

I re-installed CS6 as I knew it worked and still does.

You can add Canon MXF files to this list

Preview of video files not displaying in the Preview panel in Adobe Bridge.

Update:

still no canon mxf in latest 2017 build, but it does show the new canon xf-avc thumbnails.

Now I have to use Bridge CS6 for the xf-mpeg files and Bridge CC2017 for the xf-avc files..........

Thanks for fixing this in 2018.

Dont need previous versions anymore.

If anyone else is reading this in the future (and like me, didn't have any luck with XF Utility - it didn't recognise my MXF files...), Adobe Bridge does the trick 🙂

Never had the need to install or use it before now.

2019 - Bridge version 10.0.0.124, this issue still persists. Great job Adobe, just keep taking the money.
