Avid media falls into two types. The workflow depends on which you have.

​
Transcoded MXF in Avid MediaFiles

1

Scan MXF Metadata

Click Scan MXF Metadata in the Media tab (next to the filename filter).Scan MXF Metadata button location
2

Select clips in a bin

Select the clips you want to load.
3

Load Media

Click Load Media → All Selected Clips (or All Visible Clips, All Bins).Load Media dropdown options
Without the scan, Jumper cannot link bin clips to the MXF files. If you see “can’t link to a clip” or media fails to load, run the scan first.

​
Linked or AMA clips

No scan needed. Select clips in a bin, then Load Media → All Selected Clips (or All Visible Clips, All Bins).

​
Can’t add media?

Clips not selected — For All Selected Clips, you must select clips in the bin before clicking Load Media. Click the clips you want in the open bin(s), then use the dropdown. Scan not run — If you have transcoded MXF and media fails to load, run Scan MXF Metadata first (see Transcoded MXF above).
