"Hey guys, I installed the AMA plugin,but still can't link Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III XDCAM footage to Avid Media Composer. Neither the root folders nor the individual MXF clips. I see the plugin also doesn't show up in the AMA drop-down list after I've installed it. I've tried auto detect and individual plugins like the XDcam ones, but none work and some keep crashing my machine when I try to connect to the individual MXFs. What should I do to go through this? Please help! Thanks."
