Canon XF300 is a professional camcorder, adopting the latest HD technology and Canon's newly developed MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec to record Full HD video. The XF300 records video in MXF format–an internationally standardized container format for the exchange of video and audio material to keep high video quality.

However, the MXF format is not the FCP compatible video format to be easily ingested and recognized. Canon launches XF plug-ins to transfer MXF materials to editing systems on Mac. But XF plug-ins is cannot work well in importing Canon MXF recordings from CF cards. Perhaps you choose to update Final Cut Pro or Mac OS but finally you only find the problem is still there.

Is there a most effective and convenient way to  capture Canon MXF files from CF cards to FCP?

Aunsoft  TransMXF for Mac provides the possible to convert MXF files and to edit MXF in FCP conveniently. You can convert MXF files to the most suitable Apple ProRes 422 MOV with outstanding output video quality and perfect audio and video synchronization
