Can Final Cut Pro X import .mxf files from Canon XF105

I have just bought new FCP X program, and wanted to buy Canon XF105 - would FCPx can import .mxf - mpeg2 from Canon XF105 ? Need your advice on this.

Unfortunately I can't test it because, though I have some XF media, I can't find the Canon XF Utility on their web site. It comes on the disc with the camera I'm told, but I don't have a camera.

Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just try this and see if it will work for you.
Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
If iMovie tries to open, close it.
Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

Final Cut Pro Cannot Import Quicktime file "File Error: Unknown file."

Very strange. I have two .MOV files. One of which I can import into Final Cut Pro without a problem. The other gives me the error as described in the subject header.
They have the same Codecs (H.264, AAC), were both shot with the same camera. The only difference I can see is that the one that does import has dimensions 640x480 and the one that doesnt import has dimension 1280x720. Could that be the problem?
thanks for taking the time to help!

Please give the complete information from the QuickTime movie inspector. Neither file should be used in FCP, but converted to a production format.

Can't importe MXF-File from Canon XF300, 4.2.2 codec

premiere pro 4.2.1 say the video is too big; doesn't CS4 support this codec???

sounds suspiciously like the prores 4.2.2. from panivision genesis..maybe close to hdcam hd...
some info on that stuff that might help determine custom settings, maybe conversion first without loss...etc..

Ingest
Once all footage has been shot, it must be transferred to a computer hard disk for
editing and converted into a format editable by Final Cut Pro. Although the XDCAM
HD camera records directly to digital files on the Professional Disc, the files are stored
in a special file type called MXF (Material Exchange Format).
In order to edit the files in Final Cut Pro, the data within the MXF files must be transferred
to QuickTime files. This translation does not damage or cause quality loss to the
video files. The MPEG HD data is simply unwrapped from the MXF file and rewrapped
in a QuickTime file.
One additional benefit of the XDCAM HD format is that low-resolution proxies of every
clip are automatically created and stored on the Professional Disc media. These proxies
allow you to quickly view the clips before importing the full-resolution data and
choose which clips to ingest and which to leave on the Professional Disc media. You
can even log different sections of the proxy clips (using In and Out points) to avoid
importing unwanted parts of the full-resolution HD files you may not need for editing.

Final Cut Pro 7 Import Mp4 File Problem

Help! I have been using FCP 7 for some time now and all of a sudden I cannot import an Mp4 file. I get a file error saying the FCP does not recognize the file? I have been importing and using Mp4 files all along. I can't find any setting in FCP that would address this problem?

FCP doesn't work with MP4 (or H.264) files natively. Sometimes they work, but it wasn't designed to do so. For a list of the formats that FCP does work with natively, look at the Easy Setup list. Create your Sequence using one of those then convert the MP4 file to to match that prior to importing it into your FCP project.

Final cut pro x -importing text files

I would like to create subtitles for my video but I find no way to input the text file with the subtitles in a format that FPCX will accept. I have tried rtf and txt format and several variants of these including an xml file created with TextEdit.
I dread the having to work one by one with each bit of text for every sequence requiring subtitles.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

There is this utility called X-Title Importer that should do what you need:

Does Final Cut Pro X import AC3 sound from an SONY AVCHD Camera?

Hi
I have a Sony AVCHD camera HDR-XR200.
I have been using Vegas Platinum in a PC. Surround sound 5.1 is supported.
I purchased FCPX for its "64 bit processing. better use of cores and threads, and 5.1 sound (which iMovie does not support).
However, when I use FCPX to import from the camera, i only get stereo channels.
I have set the properties to 5.1 sound.
Can anyone shed light on why this does not work?
Thanks
Barry

Thanks Daniel for the reply and the URL.
I have sent the following to the Apple Feedback site.
"I have FCPX which claims to support AVCHD and Surround Sound AC3.
When I import toFCPX from my HDR-XR200 handicam, the audio is down mixed to stereo. I cannot get the 5.1 sound recorded in the camera to accompany the video.
Is this advertised feature missing, is this a bug or should I be doing something that is not immediately apparent to the application."
It seems that many of us who have great expectations for FCPX whould like some feedback from Apple.

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

You don't need to render before export.
Rendering is for playback.
If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

60 HOUR Movie! Can Final Cut Pro Handle My Movie??

Hi,
I'm currently working on an art film, which when completed will be around 60+ hours. My assumption is that I'll have to get an enormous external hard drive to store all the files + playback. I planned on playing the film off of the external drive through a laptop and then to a monitor. My question is can Final Cut Pro handle a film of this length if I have the storage, and can anyone see any issues I may encounter with the mentioned setup? Any advice, or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You aren't going to need an enormous external hard drive as in one - you are going to need several external hard drives. If you work with just about anything over DV you will need plenty of space.
FYI, we edit classes captured over the course of the semester. It is 40-50 hours of video captured in DV-NTSC format. It requires around 400-500GB of storage space per class. If you work in any format larger than DV-NTSC you will need much more storage space.
As per your question, Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 timelines only go up to 12 hours of video (or 6 hours for sequences with high audio rates). There isn't generally much of a need for anything more than that.

I don't know anything that can do that. If you find one can you let us know?

Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air

Can Final Cut Pro 7 be run on the New MacBook Air (just for looking at footage and assembling a rough cut) or is the graphics processing inadequate? Also wondering the same about Photoshop CS5 and Aperture 3.1.3.
Thanks,
Kevin

You can install on (1) Tower and (1) Laptop, as long as they are both used by you, and NOT at the same time. This is for when you edit on your tower, but then need to edit at home, or on the road. You cannot use one copy of FCP on multiple machines at the same time. You need one copy for each machine you intend to use at the same time.
