Media Composer is the most widely used NLE for professional film and video editing. With Media Composer 7, you gain accelerated high-res-to-HD workflows, automated media management, and Interplay Sphere for Mac support, extending real-time production everywhere. In theory, if you have a Panasonic P2 camcorder which shot videos in P2 MXF format, you are able to edit the P2 MXF footage with Avid Media Composer 7 when you install a P2 AMA plug-in. 

However, this dose not always work. I have seen someone face problems. "I have loaded the AMA plug-in but it will not import my MXF files (originally from Panasonic P2, but now sitting on my system still in correct folder structure with all files in place)." The user has checked all things including the version, the file location, etc but finally failed. In this case, you will need a converter to convert the P2 MXF footage to an Avid supportable format.
