How to Import Panasonic P2 MXF to Final Cut Express 4 for Editing

While consumer camcorders take AVCHD standard for video recording, professional broadcasting camera-recorders like Panasonic P2 HD series use MXF container format to record movies, commercials and other high-end film and TV productions. Files are saved onto the P2 card in MXF format. This allows direct data transfer to IT-based broadcasting and production system configured with Non-linear editors and network servers. However, the MXF files are not so well-suited when editing with Apple editing apps. Neither Final Cut Pro nor Final Cut Express allows native transferring of the *.mxf clips or directly editing them. If you have a P2 card that filled up with MXF footage, or shootings recorded with Panasonic AG-HVX200A series, AJ-HPX3100, AG-HPX250 or any other P2HD model, get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 or Avid Media Composer for native editing. To edit Panasonic P2 footage with Final Cut Express, you have to convert P2 MXF to AIC MOV for Final Cut Express natively supported video, e.g. MOV video with Apple Intermediate Codec.

The following guide shows how to convert Panasonic P2 MXF to AIC so as to Transfer Panasonic P2 MXF to Final Cut Express 4 for post-production.

Preparation:
Get Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac ($35), which is compatible with Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. There is trial version for evaluation, and you’re encouraged to have a try with it before purchase. Install and launch Pavtube HD Video Converter.

Step 1. Click "Add" to browse to and load Panasonic .mxf recordings. You can import P2 clips directly from a P2 card, a copy of a P2 card on Mac HDD. P2 MXF file structure is composed of these folders: Audio, Clip, Icon, Media, Proxy, Video, and Voice. You need to navigate to the Video folder for .mxf clips. Multiple .mxf videos can be loaded at a time since the Pavtube HD Video converter supports batch conversion.

Make sure there is enough free space before you transferring MXF to Apple Intermediate Codec.
