In conjunction with Ingex ( http://ingex.sourceforge.net ), such essence can be wrapped into MXF file format and directly ingested into Avid's NLEs without any rendering process.

Is there another way to get to MXF? Indeed the DNxHD encoded files I have made require re-rendering. The files I encoded with FFMpeg import into Avid (which re-renders them), but then crash when I press 'L' (forward/play track). No audio tracks are imported either in avid. Just "V1" without A1 or A2. I've encoded with and without audio in FFMpeg (-an), and get the same result.

I'm trying to find a way to get 1080i30fps or 720p24fps into the highest DNxHD bitrate files and import them into Avid without re-rendering so I can create the files in batch while I sleep.

BTW, FFMpeg lists mxf as a "format", but I'm not sure if that is import only or if it's not will support the criteria I need. I've asked around on other sites, this doesn't seem to be a common approach to what I'm wanting to do. I'm new, so this might be the wrong path, but it seems correct.
