MXF import questions / workflow advice needed!

[adamt]

Please can someone advise me the best way to go regarding importing mxf files and xmls.

I will first off admit that xml's, mxf and Smoke are all very new to me. I have worked almost exclusively on FCP7 and ProRes for the past 8 years!

How do i import a Sony F55 mxf file into Smoke?

I have tried to follow the User Guide, but the results i'm seeing are definitely wrong! The raw file is very washed out, as i would expect, yet when i try to import using the LUTs as described in the User Guide, the image becomes even more unusable - perhaps becuase the Manual suggests using  "Sony-Raw_to_SLog2 from the camera/Sony/ directory in the Autodesk location."  -  yet there is not a file with that name in that folder.

Also - is it better to import the raw mxf files to edit with, then transcode to a different colour space to finish?

thanks
