I like Spring because of Spring is the season of all things recovery and I like to go outing at this time. And Spring is the best time for planting trees. Last week, my friends and I had a trip to Beijing. I recorded many short videos with my Canon XF205, the video can show the ancient buildings in Beijing. I plan to upload the Canon XF2005 .mxf video to YouTube, but I have to edit the XAVC codec video in FCP X. Why I can't import the Canon MXF files into FCP X? I searched this question via Google, I found Canon XF200 users have the same problem.
The new Canon XF205 and XF200 Professional Camcorders are equipped with the upgraded zoom lens, CMOS sensor and image-processing platform featured in the XA25/XA20 High Definition Camcorders. We can get HD MXF (MPEG-2) and HD MP4 footage via the two models. If you got HD MXF videos, you may like editing Canon MXF recordings in FCP X. But MPEG-2 MXF isn't a native editing video format for FCP X. To import Canon XF200/XF205 MXF video into FCP X for editing smoothly, you need to convert MPEG-2 MXF video to ProRes MOV. Apple ProRes is a good editing video codec for Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6). Here Acrok MXF Converter for Mac is your best choice to do this job.
