I have a Sony VENICE camcorder and shot 28mins test footage with it in .mxf format. I want to edit VENICE video in Final Cut Pro, but failed when importing into FCP. I'm now considering of converting VENICE MXF footage to ProRes codec on MacOS Monterey. But I havemn't a Sony MXF Video Converter to do that. Do you have any recommendations of Mac Sony MXF video converter for transcoing 4K MXF MXF footage to Apple ProRes codec for editing in Final Cut Pro?
Sony VENICE supports DCI and UHD 4K capture, while planned and scheduled firmware updates will enable anamorphic, full-frame, and select frame rates from 1 to 72 fps. It is another acquisition tool which supports the MXF recording. If you got 4K MXF and trying editing the MXF videos in Final Cut Pro, you must have the above problem. Let me give you Sony MXF to Final Cut Pro solution.
In a word, roughly 90% MXF not importing to editing software issues are caused by codec incompatibility, some required codec is missing or the file is not supported, thus the most practical solution is to convert MXF to your editing program supported format or codec for successful editing.
Sony XDCAM series camcorders are high-end professional camcorders which can capture stunning-quality HD images; they can offer very high quality HD recording at a data rate of up to 50Mbps at MXF format. However, MXF Video can't be recognized by mostly Mac video editing software, even Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and iMovie etc.
