Files from third parties do not have a corresponding EVS.xml file containing
the associated metadata. As they need to be available in XFile, the import
function will result in the creation of an EVS.xml file containing the metadata

that the system has been able to retrieve. Supported file extension are: EVS
MXF, Avid MXF OPAtom and QT mov.
