Many Sony XDCAM camcorders users are plagued by some importing and editing recorded Full HD footage problems, especially the users of Sony PXW-X320 can't load the XAVC and MXF files into FCP X on Mac. Today I will share the Sony PXW-X320 XAVC and MXF to FCP X workflow with everyone.
The Sony PXW-X320 incorporates XAVC in the HD domain at a 100 Mbps data rate, enabling the creation of rich content with 10-bit quality. It is capable of recording XVAC Intra at Full HD footage. You can also get 1920 x 1080 video at up to 50 Mbps using XAVC Long and MPEG HD422, as well as MPEG HD at 35 Mbps / 25 Mbps, MPEG IMX at 50 Mbps, and DVCAM at 25 Mbps in MXF file.
However, not all XAVC videos can be edited by the Final Cut Pro X since there comes a problem called format incompatibility. The best-fit video format for FCP (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6) is Apple ProRes MOV, while most XAVC movies are recorded in MXF or other formats that are unaccepted by FCP X Moreover, XAVC video usually differs from other common videos that its video/audio codec is unique, so even if the Sony PXW-X320 video is wrapped in MXF format, it may not be supported by FCP X as well.
