Load MXF from Canon XF705 to Final Cut Pro
To import and edit Canon XF705 4K MXF videos in Final Cut Pro smoothly, you need to convert the H.265 or MPEG-4 codec to ProRes on Mac. I recorded 5 MXF videos with Canon XF705 a few days ago. I copied the .MXF files to my local computer. When I tried playing the movies on my video player, the .mxf files cannot be recognized. And I can't load the Canon XF705 MXF files into Final Cut Pro X for further editing. So I started searching for the reasons and programs for converting MXF to MOV, MP4 or other popular video formats. How to load MXF files in FCP X without installing plugin?
