How to import .mxf files to Apple Final Cut Pro X?

Hello,
I'm in the process of purchasing a Canon XF305 Professional camcorder which uses MXF format files. I am using Apple Final Cut Pro X with Lion operating system. Is there a tool which can help me when ingesting with Final Cut Pro X rather than earlier versions of Final Cut Pro.
Thank you very much,
Thomas

Dear Thomas,
As far as I know, there is few programs which natively support MXF video converting or processing. I got my new Canon C300 several days ago, I looked around for a nice tool for my c300.
I tested one professional MXF Converter on Mac. The program seems nice. It natively supports my C300 camera and encodes MXF footages to Apple Prores which FCP X likes best. I found it in App Store. You can download it for a test. In addition, I saw the project about mxf column in a blog , it also seems to have a lot of solution, if you are interested, you can give it a try  http://mts-to-aic-converter.com/mxf-column/ 
Hope this program helps. Happy Every Day.

  • How Direct Import .AVI file in to Final Cut Pro 6

    How can i Direct import .AVI Files in to Final Cut Pro 6..
    Please Tell me Any kind of plugin or application or codec.....
    thankyou very much

    The AVI file extension merely indicates that the video contained inside could be from any number of codecs; like a QuickTime .mov, .avi is just a wrapper. Saying you have an AVI file is much like saying you have a car ... it doesn't really tell us anything specific. You need to find out what codec it actually is, then you'll know whether or not it can be imported into FCP without conversion.
    But you'd be better off converting it to a QuickTime codec that FCP works with natively prior to importing.

  • How to import Montion 5 Templates to Final Cut Pro? The Template changes background in Final Cut. Why?

    I am trying to import the "splash" template from motion 5 to Final Cut Pro X. It works well as I can find the template, but the background in the template has changed. Why is this and where did I go wrong?

    I'm unsure what you're asking about.
    The Splash compositions are available in FCP in Titles. If you want to modify them, you can open a copy in Motion and make changes. You can then "publish" your custom version in FCP and both the original Splash and the custom Splash will be available.
    You can also begin the process in Motion from the Project Browser. You can publish a copy that will be available from the project browser and you can add it to generators in FCP.
    Of course, you can also use the Share menu to export and then import a QuickTime movie (not the template) into
    FCP.
    The workflow is way different than it was for previous versions of Final Cut and Motion.

  • How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

    Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
    If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
    you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
    great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
    use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
    Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
    Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
    help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
    share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
    Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
    First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
    Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
    on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
    C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
    simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
    only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
    videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
    Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
    Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
    1. Import MXF files to the converter
    Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
    2. Select FCP editable format
    Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
    Tips:
    a. Settings- click to set video
    resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
    20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
    b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
    3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
    Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
    MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
    is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
    smoothly on Mac with ease.

  • How do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?

    Question: how do I make a pic in final cut Pro stop  flickering?
    Answer: It depends on what is causing the flickering.  It could be due to the pixel dimensions being too large for the Sequence settings in FCP.  It could be due to thin horizontal lines in the image.  It could be due to areas of the image in high contrast with each other.   Or it could be due to a combination of several factors.
    If the image is too large, reduce the pixel dimensions to a more reasonable size.
    If it's due to thin horizontal lines, deinterlace the image, or slightly blur the lines in Photoshop.
    If it's due to areas of high contrrast, reduce the contrast of those areas in Photoshop.
    In FCP you can also try applying the Flicker filter to the image in the Timeline and/or a Gaussian blur filter with a setting of around 0.2 or 0.3

  • How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help

    How do use the hum remover in final cut pro 5? Help!!

    Simply drop the effect onto the appropriate audio track. Set the frequency for the hum frequency (50Hz or 60Hz depending on your power supply). Include whichever harmonics you think might be present eg. 100, 150, 200Hz.
    Note that I have generally had more success by using Soundtrack Pro's noise removal tool.
