“Just record some video clips with Canon XF100, the images are vivid but one problem is, I cannot import the files into Final Cut pro to edit, is there a workable solution? Thanks.”
Canon’s XF100 HD Professional Video camera is definitely an amazingly compact, fully featured camcorder that imports nearly all of the features and functionality from the 3-clip XF300 right into a more compact, single sensor form factor. A recently developed Genuine Canon 10 x HD video lens resolves images onto a local 1920 x 1080 CMOS sensor, that are taken in industry-standard MXF file wrappers using the selection of bit rate (as much as 50Mbps), resolution, and frame rate.
As such HD videos are in MXF format that is not supported by Apple editing software including FCP, FCE, iMovie etc, to edit Canon XF100 MXF in FCP you need to convert the MXF to ProRes MOV, which is natively supported by the software listed above first,with iOrgsoft Canon MXF Converter for Mac, you can easily solve these problems below is how.
