EDIUS sets timeline sequence name as default export file name. This situation may occur if timeline sequence name contains invalid characters for Windows file name.

Operation example:

1) Set Edit/Sequence1 as timeline sequence name
2) Choose MXF file exporter

Expected:
Clip name: Edit/Sequence1
Folder name: Blank (needs to be set manually)

Actual:
Clip name: Sequence1
Folder name: Edit
* Result may depend on selected exporter type

Resolution:
Remove the invalid character then try file export.
