Thanks to its execllent hardware equipment, Canon C300 Mark II has attracted great attention since it released. Featured with a Super 35mm CMOS sensor, you are allowed to record 4K, 1920*1080 60/50i, 23.98/25p True 24p videos. Along with its XF AVC Codec - an H.264 format wrapped by the widely-supported MXF format, making the integration of both 4K and 2K/Full HD footage into workflows effortless, while maintaining the highest image quality. After shooting some amazing 4K videos with the Canon EOS C300 Mark II camcorder, chances are you want to edit those Canon 4K MXF footage with Final Cut Pro before uploading to Twitter or posting on Facebook, then you are likely to encounter some problems as below:
"I've got a ton of Canon EOS C300 Mark II footage that I'm trying to import the EOS C300 Mark II 4K MXF files to FCP X for further editing. Since the files come out natively as MXF, FCP X couldn't recognize these files at all, let alone do the polishing work. What should I do?"
In fact, the XF-AVC as a new codec, it isn't natively supported by most editing software including Final Cut Pro. Although Canon provides Canon XF Utility of XF-AVC, this does not enable us to import or transcode the files for use in FCP X/7/6. So if you stick to importing Canon C300 Mark II recordings to FCP X/7/6 flawlessly, you'd better transcode Canon 4K/2K/1080P video to a more editable format for Final Cut Pro X/7/6, such as Apple's ProRes. Granted that there are many MXF Converter programs on market, but few of them can support converting videos with fast speed and zero quality loss. After multiple testing, I find Brorsoft MXF Video Converter for Mac is the best choice!
Overall, it is capable of converting Canon XF as well as Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 MXF to Apple ProRes, DNxHD, MPEG-2, AIC, etc on Mac OS X for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLE), including Final Cut Pro X/7/6, Avid Media Composer 5.5/6.0/6.5, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie and more.For Windows users, please get MXF Converter for Windows.
