Convert Canon XF105 MXF to ProRes for FCP X Editing on Mac OS X Lion

MXF to ProRes-Import Canon XF105 MXF to Final Cut Pro X
MXF to Final Cut Pro X-Transcode XF105 MXF to ProRes 422

Final Cut Pro X has become the first choice for video editing for Mac users. Both professional videographers and amateurs find it a helpful and amazing editing system, although most users also find it very picky about what video formats you can import – almost QuickTime only. A newbie may feel disappinted when the FCP X failed to import recordings from Canon XF105 while experienced users will convert MXF to Apple ProRes Codec MOV as output video format more compatible with Final Cut Pro X.


Well, don't blame to the Final Cut Pro X, the "Import from Camera…" option works just like "Log and Transfer". The thing is, even FCP 7 does not work with the Canon XF codec. If you want to edit with MXF natively, get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5...Or convert the Canon MXF to something Final Cut Pro X can edit natively, say Apple ProRes 422 encoded MOV format.

Obviously, We need a third-party tool to realize it. Pavtube MXF HD Video Converter for Mac is a nice choice.
