The XF300 Professional Camcorder represents Canon’s entry into professional solid state video acquisition. Following on the heels of its widely respected XH line of tape-based camcorders, the XF300 takes advantage of the latest HD technology–along with Canon’s newly developed MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec–to record Full HD video to affordable Compact Flash cards.

The XF300 uses Material Exchange Format (MXF) for its file structure–an internationally standardized container format for the exchange of video and audio material. Using the MXF format, video and audio can be wrapped into a single file along with important metadata.
Many users have problems when importing Canon MXF to FCP 6/7/X.

Example:

“I recently purchased a Canon XF series HD Camcorder and currently using Final Cut Pro X, but I can not load MXF footages to FCP X, can you help?”

“I’m using FCP 7. I haven’t found a way to bring MXF files into FCP. It’s kind of a pain, I’d prefer we were using the same files. Can I import and work with MXF in FCP?”

The best quality video codec for FCP is Apple ProRes codec MOV format, FCP can’t handle Canon MXF files smoothly, you will encounter many problems unless you convert XF300 video to FCP Apple Prores codec via Drorsoft Canon XF300 MXF Video Converter, which supports Apple ProRes codec for output. You can choose Apple PreRes 422 (HQ) if you want to keep the original video parameters, but it will produce large files, in common situation, you are recommended to choose Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov) for output.

Here are some tips and tricks that you can use when you convert Canon MXF files to prores.

Tips:

a. If you want to merge MXF files, just need to select all files and click Merge.

b. You shouldn’t move the single MXF video out of the whole MXF whole structure folder, or the MXF video would loss some metadata, such as sound.



Tricks:

c. You’d better choose “Apple PreRes 422” for keeping original video quality.

d. If you want the files to be in smaller size, you can follow Final Cut Pro>Apple ProRes 422(LT)(*mov)/Apple ProRes 422(*mov) option.

e. If your files size is at SD levels, you are advised to choose Final Cut Pro>Apple ProRes 422(Proxy)(*mov), which is recommended for 480i/p and 576i/p shootings as well.
