      Thanks! This is with the MXF OpAtom option turned on right?

        Try updating to 1.3.5, added a fix that should correct this error. The error is essentially that apparently 23.976 is not an officially supported framerate for OpAtom MXF files.

            now it says I don't have permissions....but i do have SF allowed in system prefs.

              Ugh okay. Sorry about that. Can you try to uninstall and reinstall it (I had published with an error)

                  Still not working.
                  btw - I'm running the catalina command (once), then using the convert selection from finder command. Still getting permissions error.

                      I quit SF and restarted. Now that error went away.

                          btw - can you add an option to close the app automattically when done? Maybe even automattically open the folder the file went to?

                              but....app still hangs as "Starting up..." when trying to do a second conversion on a different movie. I have to quit/restart SF

                                  btw - the new MXF file won't play in protools. Imports fine, but won't output from my KONA 4 card. I have been using an apple droplet script called MB_Convert2DNxHD_PT that I downloaded. This one works fine if you want to look at it for reference....it's not the same export format/codec tho so maybe not useful for you.

                                    Yea I can't help but think that for some reason the OpAtom encoder doesn't support 23.976.
                                    We should probably have an option for DNxHD but in a different container. Would be interesting to see your droplet script for sure, maybe for some framerates a different encoding option should be preferred.

                                        Hi! I have been having the same issue ever since: OP-Atom MXFs can be imported flawlessly but won't output any picture (or preview thumbnails). Tested with 25fps btw. Is this a codec thing or something else? VLC playbacks perfectly.
                                        I would love to switch to using MXFs converted by this great App!
